Since 1975, McDermott Handcrafted Cues has made it their mission to
raise the bar of what billiard players expect from a high performance
cue. Drawing on the latest technology and a state-of-the-art facility,
each year McDermott consistently delivers tasteful yet aggressive
designs.
Over 150 separate operations are used to build each
McDermott cue. After the original design is developed, a CAD programmer
uses CAM software to translate the design into machining language. The
design is then sent to a sophisticated milling machine so sensitive it
can hold tolerances to within one thousandth of an inch, even on the
most unique and highly detailed designs. Experienced finish artisans
hand-apply stain coloration by hand, one cue at a time. McDermott inlays
are precision milled from a variety of exotic woods, precious metals,
pearls, ivory and specialty composites. Each inlay and ring is inset by
hand to ensure a perfect fit. Each cue is finished with a
moisture-barrier to prevent warpage and give the trademark McDermott
high-gloss finish.
