Hey guys, loved the video. This one is above my budget, but I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. I just installed an 8 ft slate table just off your videos, everything was very well presented.

Thank you for your support, and glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, the Sledgehammer is indeed an excellent break cue, but appreciate it's not the cheapest cue for those starting out, or those with a tighter budget. We will be producing more cue and ball reviews, at all price levels. So please continue to enjoy our videos, and hopefully you'll see something tempting in your budget soon! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

I like these videos. I appreciate the weird cuts to movies and such, even if they can sometimes be extremely out of place 😂

Thank you, that's much appreciated! Yes, we're trying to do something a little different and have our own unique style (in the world of Pool). And yes, you've guessed it, we're also huge movie fans here. Especially horror, creature features, cult movies and strange 80's stuff! Lots more reviews coming soon to an Average Joes Pool channel near you! :-) --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

I would love to see a "best of" series. Where you have for instance: "best break cue for the money" or "best cue at x budget" all based on the scores they had received in their respective videos.

@AverageJoesPool 16 күн бұрын

Yes, we have considered this actually, and as the catalogue of reviews continues to expand this is definitely something we would like to look at. Thanks for your support! 👍

Great review! Another thing to note that I’ve learned over the years is the sport wraps degrade, harden and eventually start to break apart and are generally quite expensive to replace. I love their feel when new but can’t buy them anymore due to the limited lifespan of the wrap.

One good example of cues being manufactured in China is Peri. Not only that but they are a a Chinese brand and they have some of the best cues ever

@AverageJoesPool 5 ай бұрын

Indeed. Lots of cues come out of China now for some of the largest brands in the industry.

I own an original Sledgehammer break/jump cue which was manufactured by Mike Guliasi upon which he sold his brand and patents to McDermott Cues. Just to let you know a bit of history on this particular break cue. Same pin size. My tip and ferrule construction differ in that mine is one piece of fiber-reinforced phenolic resin. And the butt-cap rubber has a hole in it to accept a small screw to hold it to the butt through the weight pin. P.S.- I forgot to add that mine is wrapless and I don't play with the weight bolt installed. The cue weighs 17oz in this configuration. P.S.S.- Damn, I should have waited till farther into the video to make a comment and I would have known that you knew Mike was the originator of this! Nice that you did know that bit of info.

Thank you for your input! Yes, there is a little discussion here as to how the original model compares to the newer McDermott version.

@TimHaunFishing 17 күн бұрын

I knoe it's knit picking, but I'm dissapointed with the out of the box first impression. Even on the Lucky & Star series, the QC is usually top notch. If I spent notth of $400 on a cue (and I have) I'm going to be dissapointed when I open my brand new cue and it already has finger prints and a minor imperfections in the grip. I know no one is perfect, but this is out of form for McDermott (and its subsidiaries). I personally like the understated appearance.

@AverageJoesPool 16 күн бұрын

Thank you for sharing. Not knit picking at all, an absolutely fair opinion. 👍

@donkeydiehard879 Жыл бұрын

Pretty sure most butts are 58" NOT counting the butt cap. It was exactly 58" not counting that. I could be wrong though

@AverageJoesPool Жыл бұрын

It can vary between manufacturers, but for McDermott they run their spec of 58" excluding both the butt cap and the tip.

Are you going to review the Predator Arcos 2?

Yes, we're hoping to get a set of those for full review soon. In the meantime we have already published a full review on the Aramith Tournament (Duramith) balls, and have reviews coming up for Aramith Crown and Continental sets, and thise should be followed by full reviews on the Aramith Premier, Premium and Super Pro sets as well. We also have a full review coming up on the McDermott Stinger Jump and Break cue if you liked this Sledgehammer review.

Do you mean the polybag packaging? If so, yes indeed they do. However, some cue manufacturers are now starting to create some really nice retail packaging for their cues, hence mentioned here. But it's only packaging, and usually gets thrown away anyway :-) --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!
