The McDermott H850 pool cue combines artistic craftsmanship with state-of-the-art performance features. Handcrafted in the USA, this cue is part of McDermott's innovative H-Series, offering unmatched precision, customizable balance, and a sleek aesthetic. Whether you’re a competitive player or an enthusiast, the H850 is designed to elevate your game.

The forearm and sleeve are crafted from Birdseye maple with a stunning double-wash grey and natural walnut stain, accentuated by green urethane clover and bone urethane diamond inlays. The black-painted, no-wrap handle provides a seamless and smooth grip, making it a standout in both performance and style.

The I-3 Shaft is a low-deflection shaft that balances modern performance with traditional feel. Made from solid wood and cored out to insert a triple-layer carbon fiber core, the I-3 Shaft provides a softer hit, enhanced spin control, and low deflection. Players enjoy consistent feedback and precision, making the I-3 an ideal choice for advanced play.

Spine, Spin, Deflection, and Performance

The spine of a cue shaft refers to the stiffest part of the shaft, offering the most resistance during a shot. Opposite the spine is the section that bends the most, and this variation can influence spin, deflection, and performance, particularly when players rotate the shaft between shots. In solid maple shafts, the spine where it is stiffest is invariably off-center, affecting the ball's response when applying spin or English.

In contrast, the I-3 Shaft’s triple-layer carbon fiber core centers the spine to eliminate this variable, instead offering exceptional radial consistency. This uniform structure ensures predictable performance, allowing players to execute precise shots with optimal spin control and reduced deflection.
