Very good chalk😎

The color brown is technically orange

Do you think you could do a video on either making an outdoor pool table or converting a pool table to be used outdoors. Different (waterproof cloths) different sides, avoiding materials that would that or degrade in the outdoors etc

Difference between branded and amazon’s?

Just received this Cue. It's very nice for the money. Thanks for the review. I bought it because I trust you and your review. I also registered for the lifetime warrantee on the Viking Website.

The rating given was totally fair.

Realistically, if a cue is straight, solid, and has a good tip on it, there's not much more you can ask of a cue. If you're paying upwards of $300 for any cue, you're paying for exotic wood inlays, exotic artwork, the mystic of a private cue maker, or just the name of a cue making company. You will not play better with a $1200 cue than you will with a $100 cue, even if you think you will.

I have this same cue bro and let me just say i will never get rid of it. I have been playing with it for the longest time and love it. It has made me so much money. I genuinely think it is the best cheap cue you can get. If you see this and you aren’t sure bro trust me when i tell you it is worth it. I have been able to do everything you can think of with it. Well worth it. Had to speak on this cue😂

what a superb video. i appreciate all the work involved, will be much happier paying some pro's to come do this on my personal table vs trying this myself heh. thanks + hi hi hi from spain.

I’m in process of getting new cue in that price range, I hope it comes in all black, 16-17.75 ounces. I’m in between Valhalla and champion gator.

Any ETA on when the lucky cue review is coming out? Curious which one you think plays better

Hi sir! Where can i get tip to unscrew the pockets?

I play mostly snooker and english 8 ball these days. Not played 9 ball for about 15 years. Thinking of starting to play more 9 ball again. Might grab one today. Cheers for the review.

Nice starter cue. Thanks for the video!

man you got me sold on this cue😃 but unfortunatly it does not ship to austria, i will be waiting for the luky cue since it does ship to austria, hope it performes like the valhalla. Great revew keep it up you deserve more subscribers and vewers👍

Great series and love the movie clips added in! Funny, SVB prob couldn’t recreate the exact same results of the pocketed two in 10 tries. Sometimes lightning strikes in a bottle lol

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.

@AverageJoesPool I'm a new pre-owned pool table owner. I've been told that I need a machinist level to level the slates correctly. Your video is in direct contradiction of that claim. Does the carpenter's level work well enough? I really don't want to spend $270 for a tool that I'll use maybe twice. Thanks for your video and hopefully response.

If anyone is considering a lucky cue by McDermott or this, dont make the mistake to buy a lucky cue if you are ever worry about warpage , Valhalla cue is life time warranty, all you pay for is shipping cost. But McDermott does not ever cover warpage, only other minor defects , joint or pin imperfection. The cost to ship to McDermott and warpage repair is about $80 u might as well buy different cue at that point or have local fix it for you… Just my 2 cents, I already made the mistake of buying a Lucky cue I just hope it play well for few years before needed to replace.

My wife and I did it. We were somewhat slow, starting and stopping the video moving very slowly watching it several times. It turned out great. I used the worshed 20 oz cloth. played my first game on it today. I think the rails were the hardest and I think mine looked better then the videos. OK maybe. Thanks for your instructional video, no way could I have done this on my own. you are awesome sharing your knowledge.

Great video and very informative! Thanks to your video I recently purchased a set of these balls and I am very happy with them indeed. Thumbs up!

Thanks for great explanation. Leveling now my 8'ft Buffalo table. Bondo is way better than beeswax. After sanding seams, it look like one solid slate.

Great review, I'm going to grab one ASAP!

Good job

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.

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.

Great video! Thanks 😊

All hype it's no better than masters

I've been binging your videos. I found the Vahala 100 review very useful. A buddy of mine wants to get into pool, and that seems to fit the bill. But I'm a big McDermott, so I'm gonna reserve judgment until the Lucky arrives and has been tested. I hope it does well, as the Vahala has set the bar very high at the $100 price point.

Hello I am a past coin machine technician and repairman I've reclothed billiards tables of all brands over 45 yrs. I was really trying to find new people to train in that area. I have reclothed in all shades of cloth backed and unbacked. thank you for having this on video.

can you do a review for mcdermott lucky cues, really curious if its anything like their star cues or more like these aska cues?

When will McDermott Lucky cue review release? Can't wait for the review! 😂 Been choosing Lucky or Valhalla. Btw, I'm amazed by this valhalla review!

I played a lot of pool when I was younger. I started on a Player's cue and my mother got me a Lucasi for my birthday when I was 14. I played avidly into my early twenties but kind of put it down. This Christmas she again got me a cue, this time a McDermott Star S72. I was very surprised at the quality and shot of a relatively low range cue. So much so in fact. I bought a G Core shaft used for it and it is still my main playing cue. I intend to get a Defy shaft for it, that's how much I like it. I can't recommend them enough as a good amateur cue.

i have this cue (the wrapless version) and it is awesome. best $100 i've ever spent!

New subscriber! I don't know if you guys did a review on Scorpion cues yet. Would love to see one for the SCO116 specifically!

What's the difference between the 100 series and the 200, 300, and 400 series as seen on Amazon? The price steps up a small amount as the series number goes up.

hands down best cue reviewer on YT

After having my cue re-shafted with a I-Pro slim shaft and navigator pro max tip I switched from 1080 chalk to the V10 and love it. it's clean unlike the 1080 and hooks up great. yes it less forgiving then the 1080 but a 13mm tip is less forgiving then a 12. If your hits are right you'll love the V10 too.

Can you make a video with lucky cue ? I can't buy this one in My country

Its a very good super grippy chalk so in those extreme side or low hit shots it performs amazing. Ive tested most chalks with extreme draw shots and found this predator and blue diamond perform the best, it definitely grips much much more than triangle and masters

I JUST SONT LIKE THEIR NEW DLORS WITH THE PINK AND BROWN BALLS,😂😂😂😂😂,JUSTMPLAIN UGULY!!!!!!!!!!

My Wife bought me this Cue for my 75th birthday, couldn't be happier.

THIS IS WHATNYA GET WHEN YA WANTMCHEAPER,LOL,YOU GETMWHAT YOU PAY FOR,LOL

I bought this cue over a year ago. I'm so glad I did.

I know Valhalla is a great cue for the price. I struggled between the Valhalla and the McDermott Lucky cue. I went with the Lucky because I actually shot with one years ago and really liked it. But I've heard nothing but good about the Valhalla.

True ❤😊

I seem some lines on your table time stamp 10:25 plus you said it yo tapped your tip on the table it left a little chalk. so when you hit the cue ball what do you think happens :)

I really appreciate this video! One question though... How do you tell which side of the cloth is the playing side?
