Engineered for highly skilled players with strong stroke mechanics, the i-3 uses a slimmer 11.75 mm shaft diameter, a European taper, and McDermott’s Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core to provide responsive feedback, consistent performance, and enhanced control.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shaft is made specifically for McDermott cues with a 3\/8\"-10 joint and features a black collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This shaft will not fit cues that use a joint other than 3\/8\"-10. Please confirm your cue’s joint type before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the tip, the i-3 uses a Navigator Sigma Medium leather tip. Within the Navigator tip line, Sigma falls in the midrange for hardness. Its leather fibers are treated through a proprietary process to control firmness in each layer. The medium compression provides good grip and contact time on the cueball while maintaining cueball speed and acceleration, making it especially suitable for players seeking spin, touch, and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcDermott’s patented Tenon Tip Technology transfers energy from the tip directly into the carbon fiber core. This design increases the effective sweet spot of the shaft and produces a more solid hit, helping maximize shot accuracy and improve the efficiency of energy transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber construction runs through the i-Shaft design to improve radial consistency and reduce the natural inconsistencies associated with traditional all-maple shafts. Combined with the i-3’s smaller 11.75 mm diameter and European taper, this construction is designed to provide excellent responsiveness, precise cueball control, and increased spin potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRadial consistency is the shaft’s ability to perform the same way on every shot regardless of how the shaft is rotated. The i-Shaft’s Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core is designed to provide more consistent performance around the full circumference of the shaft, helping produce a straighter cueball path and minimizing the amount of compensation required for spin and throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe i-3 is intended for players who already have good control of their stroke mechanics and want more cueball action. Its slim profile and responsive construction make it especially well suited for position play, English, spin-intensive shots, and precise speed control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcDermott cues and performance shafts are among the most recognized products in the billiard industry. Manufactured in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, McDermott products are known for quality construction, premium materials, detailed craftsmanship, and extensive customization options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProudly made in the USA, McDermott cues are backed by the company’s lifetime warranty, including warpage, and lifetime maintenance program, subject to McDermott’s
