Each month, McDermott gives away a free pool cue to a lucky contestant. For July, the giveaway cue is the G229; one of the new cues debuted in the 2014-2015 catalog. It features a birdseye maple forearm, sleeve and no-wrap handle; a light American cherry stain; and bocote, cocobolo, green & index rings. The G229 comes standard with McDermott’s high-performance G-Core shaft.
