McDermott Pool Cue Care
Pool Cue Care: Proper Storage
The cue should be stored in consistent temperature and moisture
conditions. Extreme temperatures or humidity will cause warpage. If the
cue is being stored on a wall mounted rack, be sure it is kept perfectly
straight. Avoid wall mounted racks that are installed on an outside
wall. For extended storage, use a carrying case laid on a flat surface,
leaving the case open to allow movement of air.
Pool Cue Care: Cue Tip Shape
 Probably
the most important part of the pool cue is the pool cue tip. A cue
tip shape should be formed in a convex manner to help create maximum cue ball
response on all shots. The pool cue tips should also be kept coarse
allowing pool chalk to adhere to it. When using any pool cue tips tool
to shape and scuff your pool cue tips always follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Once the side wall of the pool cue tip becomes thinner
than a dime, the pool cue tip should be replaced. We recommend the
Ultimate Tip Tool for pool cue tips maintenance.
Pool Cue Care: Cue Shaft Care
Through use of the pool cue, the pool cue
shaft may become soiled. There are many products available to clean the
pool cue shaft. Avoid using products containing waxes or oils, such as
silicone and lanolin. Application of these products will break down the
structure of the wood of your pool cue shaft causing it to soften and
decay. We recommend the use of the
Perfect Shaft. Regular use of
Perfect
Shaft will smooth the pool cue shaft and make it less likely to
absorb dirt.
 Pool Cue
Care: Pool Cue Joints
To protect pool cue joints when the cue is not in play, we suggest the
use of
pool cue joint protectors.
Pool cue joint protectors serve 2 purposes:
- To protect the pool cue joint pin and
shaft threads from any damage.
- To seal off the unfinished end of the
pool cue shaft from moisture.

Pool Cue Care: The Butt
The Irish Linen wrap works to absorb moisture from the
player's hands. We recommend your cue be re-wrapped after extended use
to keep a clean absorbent surface on the butt of the cue.
