The McDermott Vanquish VQ1 Carbon Fiber Playing Cue combines a carbon fiber butt with a Defy carbon fiber shaft for a lightweight, rigid playing setup. The construction is built to support strength, stability, and consistency across shots while reducing vibration for a more controlled feel from tip to grip.
Its patented Variable Balance Point (VBP) system brings a high level of adjustment to the cue. Internal weights move along a carbon fiber rail, allowing the player to fine-tune both overall weight and balance. Set it up with a forward balance, rear weight, or an in-between configuration that matches your stroke and preferences.
The VQ1 is fitted with a no-wrap carbon fiber handle, stainless steel joint collar, and stainless steel butt plate. An American Flag graphic runs along the cue for a distinctive finish. Choose a 12mm, 12.5mm, or 13mm Defy carbon fiber shaft option to suit your playing style.
Built around carbon fiber construction and adjustable balance, the Vanquish VQ1 gives players a performance-focused cue platform that can be tailored over time rather than locked into a single feel.
