Navigator Alpha Pro Tip

Within the Navigator tip line, Alpha Pro falls in the midrange for hardness and was created through a proprietary process of adjusting the leather fiber firmness in each layer. The higher compression of the leather will maximize grip force (contact time on the cue ball), which increases cue ball spin when English is applied.

Queue Technologie McDermott: iPRO Slim Shaft

iPRO Slim Shaft

Octadic Laminated Shaft Construction

The i-Pro Slim features eight spliced pieces of premium maple that are bonded together to form our most radial consistent shaft yet. This construction method drastically reduces the performance inconsistencies caused by natural wood grain and maximizes energy transfer from the shaft into the cue ball at impact. This allows you to generate a higher spin rate while hitting closer to center cue ball.

What it does:

• Stabilizes the entire shaft for absolute control & predictability
• Generates more spin while hitting closer to center cue ball
• Increased accuracy at low & high speeds

Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core

The i-Pro Slim’s Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core extends the full-length of the shaft (from ferrule to joint), stabilizing the entire shaft for absolute control and predictability.

What it does:

• Increases radial consistency
• Reduces vibration and virtually eliminates the inconsistencies found in a traditional maple shaft
• Provides a straighter cue ball path, minimizing the need to compensate for cue ball squirt
