McDermott Cue From Dicks Circa 2010
McDermott with steel butt indicative of star line. But can find any info on it.
It has no "Lucky" or "Star" cue markings. It only says "Genuine" under the McDermott clover logo up on the forearm near the joint collar.
I bought it from Dick's Sporting Goods around 2009-2010.
Thanks for any help identifying!

McDermott probably did a special economy-grade line of cues for Dicks Sporting Goods.
I've sent the question to the folks at McDermott for identification. Will post their reply when received.

Thanks a lot! I’ll be checking back for that an update.
Thanks for not giving up!
Have a good day.

I heard back from McDermott Cue this afternoon. They confirmed that it was a cue they made specifically for sale in Dicks Sporting goods in the period you purchased it. It was not sold anywhere else.
The main guy couldn't locate any info, but confirmed it with a McDermott Vice President today.
Sorry, I don't know how I missed this. I sent the photos to our VP to see what he remembers about it. I'm guessing you pretty much nailed it (as that's a pretty common scenario with big-box retailers in any industry), but we'll see if he comes back with anything more.
The latest reply from the McDermott rep:
Yep, as I guessed, there's not really anything more to this story. Just a cue made for Dick's, wasn't sold to anyone else.
There's no model number or anything like that.

Thanks for the detective work. It is what it is. But for what it is, it plays well. Not like my g series but for a beginner cue, you could do much worse. Thanks again for your time and help.
