The McDermott H551 is a blacked‑out cue with eye‑catching ringwork and fully adjustable feel. It’s part of the H‑Series, the first McDermott line to feature the Variable Balance Point (VBP) system—an internal carbon‑reinforced core and weight rail that lets you slide weights inside the butt to change how heavy the cue is and where it balances. That means you can tailor the hit to your stroke instead of adapting to the cue.

The H551 uses black‑painted Michigan maple from forearm through sleeve, dressed up with silver, red pearl, bone urethane and index rings that give it a high‑end custom feel. A matching black maple no‑wrap handle keeps the look clean and offers a smooth, solid grip. Performance-wise, it includes a G‑Core shaft, 13 mm Pro taper, Navigator Black Medium tip, and 3/8"‑10 joint, plus a lifetime warranty that includes warpage—making it a tough, reliable player with a dial‑in‑yourself balance.

McDermott, Stinger, and Sledgehammer cues come with a lifetime warranty that covers manufacturing defects, including warpage. Register your cue and learn more about the warranty details by visiting the McDermott Lifetime Warranty Page.
