The NG01 Stinger jump/break cue from McDermott features their patented tip/ferrule technology. The tip has a stem that projects downward through the ferrule. On impact the shock of the hit transmits the impact through the stem and directly down the shaft for a more precise hit. The forearm is built of maple with a rosewood handle and 4 rosewood points, a 3/8"-10 main joint and quick-release jump joint.
