The H653 by McDermott is a wrap-less cue that is built with a Bocote handle. The forearm uses Birdseye Maple and is accented with 6 bocote & black urethane points. The struggle to get a perfectly balanced cue is officially over. McDermott’s new H-Series cues addresses this problem with the first ever cue to features the fully-adjustable Variable Balance Point (VBP) weight system. This system features a full-length carbon fiber core with a rail on which the weights can be re-positioned forward or backward. Comes standard with a G-Core shaft and a lifetime warranty that includes warpage. Color Disclaimer: The beauty of wood lies in its natural irregularities. The color of wood and the stain applied to wood is affected by many factors outside of the control of McDermott Cue including, but not limited to, type of wood, color of wood, grain pattern or figure, wood density, mineral marks in the wood, and the staining application process. Every monitor and printer displays colors differently, therefore samples shown online or in print are for basic comparison purposes only and should not be used as exact references. By choosing wood you are accepting the natural and acceptable differences in color.
