Conditions
Returns and Exchanges:
A 30% restocking fee applies to all returns. Cash refunds are at the
discretion of Midnightcues. Used items will be shipped back to the
buyer, at the purchasers expense. In other words the cue can not be
used. (Cues that have been used, chalked, dinged or damaged, no
exceptions.) exchanges allowed only with receipt. And will be
applied to items of equal or lesser value. No refunds on sale
items or special orders.
When ordering a shaft we would require you to
send your cue. We will then ship it to McDermott. And they will
build the shaft to line up perfectly with your existing cue. We ask
this so there is no gaps, butting, and miss matching issues
when ordering a new shaft.
Payment Options:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, and Discover. Payable through
paypal.

Our Quality
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.
