The i-Pro is McDermott's most radial-consistent wooden shaft ever made, featuring Octadic Laminated Construction with eight spliced pieces of premium maple bonded together over a Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core. That combination of stealthy black cosmetics and tour-grade shaft technology makes the McDermott SL7 one of the best-value playing cues in the Select Series lineup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the i-Pro High-Performance Shaft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eThe i-Pro is engineered for unmatched consistency and maximum energy transfer into the cue ball.

The no-wrap handle appeals to players who prefer a bare wood feel in the bridge hand, and the black-on-black aesthetic looks equally at home in a bar box or on the nine-foot table. With adjustable weight from 18 to 21 ounces, you can dial the SL7 in to match your stroke.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shaft comes with the McDermott SL7?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eThe SL7 ships standard with the McDermott i-Pro shaft — available in 12.5mm or 12.0mm i-Pro Slim.
