McDermott Pool Cues are made in Wisconsin, USA. |
Craftsmanship is a
fine art. Found among the gifted artisans in Menomonee
Falls, Wisconsin are the finest wood-makers in America.
Through decades of cue building experience, McDermott
utilizes a process that includes over 150 separate
operations in the construction of each cue. All shafts are
made from the finest Kiln-dried, Hand Selected, North
American Hard Rock maple and turned 11 times. All forearm
and butts are handcrafted from the most unusual, and finest,
woods from around the world. The wood is aged for up to two
years and is machined three separate times to ensure
straightness.
Wood:
McDermott Hand Selects only
the finest woods from around the globe (North
America, South America, Central America, West
Africa). The wood is aged for 18 to 24 months by
alternately storing and machining each piece three
times allowing the maximum amount of moisture to
escape, thus ensuring absolute straightness.
Shaft:
Our North American Hard Rock maple shafts are Hand
Selected for straightness of grain, optimum moisture
content, and white color. Each shaft is machined,
bored, and CNC-thread cut to achieve perfect
consistency and concentricity and then turned 11
times to ensure straightness and a "true roll."
Joint:
McDermott's signature wood-to-wood joint provides
consistent surface contact throughout the cue, thus
delivering maximum feel, and the most solid hit in
the industry.
Construction:
McDermott's "Tri-Core" butt construction promotes
straightness over the life of the cue. Inlays and
rings are precision milled to within .001" and Hand
Glued to ensure the perfect fit.
Tip:
McDermott cues feature Medium Hard Triangle tips
made from special Water Buffalo, Chrome Tanned
leather. These specially treated tips provide the
ultimate in cue ball control and require less
reshaping than most standard tips.
Collar:
McDermott utilizes our exclusive
Impact Control Ring, which is made from a Polymer
Matrix Composite that was originally developed by
NASA. |
Ferrule:
Our Fine Weave Linen-based Ivorine 3 ferrules are
both Hand-glued and Hand-screwed onto a wood tenon,
resulting in direct contact between the shaft and
tip, which maximizes feedback at the point of
contact.
Pin:
Heavy gauge stainless steel
joint pin with rolled threads for strength prolongs
thread life and is rust-resistant.
Wrap:
Our Genuine Imported Irish
linen wrap is tightly wound, double-pressed, and
polished for a perfect fit and smooth feel, thus
protecting the cue from the elements and absorbing
hand moisture for a "Sure Grip."
Finish:
McDermott cues are
Hand-stained with our exclusive imported European
"Organic-Pigment" stain, which is made from the
finest pigments in the world. McDermott stain is
clearly superior to the synthetic stains generally
used in the industry, and is notable for its uniform
saturation of the wood and exacting consistency of
color. The cues are completed with five coats of
Ultra High-luster urethane, which make each
McDermott cue extremely scratch-resistant. Uniform
Hand-application results in the clearest finish in
the industry.
Bumper:
Our patented McDermott Soft Durometer
Polymer Composite bumper gives maximum protection to
your cue and is double-bonded by an interchangeable
weight bolt system, allowing the fine tuning of the
balance point and weight.
