Alpha II American Cherry
Alpha II American Cherry, as pictured on the shop’s own page for it

Discerning. Hand Selected North American Hard Rock maple forearm and sleeve. The forearm and sleeve is stained with our exclusive imported European “Organic-Pigment” American Cherry 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 Alpha II features five coats of “High-Luster” urethane to dramatically increase the cue’s scratch resistance. This cue features the exclusive McDermott Impact Control Ring, made from a Polymer Matrix Composite (developed by NASA), which maximizes feel. The design is complemented by a McDermott Soft Durometer Polymer bumper, the most wear and shock resistant bumper in the industry.
