McDermott SL3 Select Series Pool Cue

The McDermott SL3 is where classic craftsmanship meets modern performance. Featuring a light grey stained Birdseye Maple forearm and butt sleeve, the SL3 is accented by six green urethane clover inlays and white urethane diamonds — a clean, traditional look with just enough character to stand out on the rack. Silver and black dashed index rings frame a genuine black with white speck Irish linen wrap, finishing off one of the sharpest-looking cues in McDermott's Select Series lineup.

Like every cue in the Select Series, the McDermott SL3 ships standard with the high-performance i-3 carbon core shaft — a $370 upgrade included at no additional cost. For players who want classic Birdseye Maple aesthetics paired with tour-grade shaft technology, the SL3 is one of the best values McDermott builds.

About the i-3 High-Performance Shaft

The i-3 is engineered for incredible spin and finesse — built for intermediate and advanced players who have great stroke mechanics and want more cue ball action on every shot. Its Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core extends the full length of the shaft, from ferrule to joint, stabilizing the entire shaft for absolute control and predictable response.

  • Increased radial consistency — every shot feels the same regardless of shaft orientation
  • Reduced vibration virtually eliminates the inconsistencies found in traditional maple shafts
  • Straighter cue ball path minimizes the need to compensate for cue ball squirt
  • European Taper 11.75mm with a Navigator Blue Impact Super Soft tip for maximum grip and spin on the cue ball
  • Ivorine III ferrule for a solid, consistent hit

Who Is the McDermott SL3 For?

The SL3 is an excellent pick for league players, tournament competitors, and intermediate players looking to upgrade from an entry-level cue to something with both curb appeal and real playing performance. The Irish linen wrap appeals to traditionalists who prefer the classic feel of linen over leather, and the grey Birdseye Maple finish strikes a balance between understated and eye-catching. With adjustable weight from 18 to 21 ounces, the SL3 can be dialed in to match your stroke preference.
