Shaft
Comparison

Introducing Defy — a shaft that defies the stereotype of carbon fiber shafts. Defy gives you the unparalleled accuracy and control that you expect from carbon fiber, but uses state-of-the-art technologies to shatter its limitations. SmacWrap, originally designed for the aerospace industry, absorbs vibration and dampens noise resulting in a confident hit with a soft feel and quiet sound. Our super-smooth coating reduces friction, allowing the shaft to glide through your fingers with ease like a wood shaft. Only Defy’s insane energy transfer and accuracy will remind you that you’re using a carbon fiber shaft. Patent pending.

The i-Pro and i-Pro Slim take your game to a whole new level with unparalleled performance and consistency. Their Octadic Laminated Construction, combined with a Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core, makes the i-Pro and i-Pro Slim the most radial consistent wooden shafts we've ever made. This unique design also maximizes energy transfer, allowing you to generate a higher spin rate while hitting closer to center cue ball.

The i-3 is designed for incredible spin and finesse. It is engineered for highly-skilled players who have great control of their stroke mechanics and are looking for more cue ball action.

The i-2 is known for its incredible control and consistency. It is the perfect all-around performance shaft designed for players that want maximum control without sacrificing power and finesse. The i-2 comes standard on McDermott G-Series cues $1,100 and up.

The i-1 Big Boy is the most powerful shaft in the i-Shaft series. Its special taper, wider shaft diameter and Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber core make it the ideal choice for breaking and jumping with extreme control.

The G-Core is the perfect blend of technology and classic feel. It has the benefits of carbon fiber core technology with the familiar feel of a traditional maple shaft. G-Core shafts come standard on McDermott G-Series cues $420 - $1,090.

Traditional all-maple shafts are made with the finest North American Grade AA hardrock maple wood. This shaft is designed for players who want the classic feel and performance at an affordable price. The traditional all-maple shaft comes standard on McDermott GS-Series cues.

Stinger technology takes the hit energy to the center of the shaft, regardless of where you hit the tip. Our tip can be shaped flatter than a typical break cue’s tip. The flatter profile causes the Stinger tip to have a huge “sweet spot.” You can mishit and still get the result you intended.

Sledgehammer is one of the most recognized and respected names in dedicated break cues. The patented ferrule technology transfers energy unlike other shafts on the market. This gives you insane power and superior accuracy. Known to many as the hardest and most solid hitting break cue on the market, the Sledgehammer simply destroys a rack, leaving your competition speechless.
