Description
The Sledgehammer MCDSH1 is built specifically as a break cue, using a 3/8×10 joint and a 13.25mm Classic Wood shaft, slightly thicker than the standard playing cue shafts elsewhere in this catalog, a common trait in cues meant to transfer maximum force into the rack. A black Sport Wrap covers the handle, a grippier, more athletic wrap style than the linen or leather used on McDermott’s playing cues, suited to the harder, faster stroke a break shot calls for. At about $470 it is priced as a dedicated accessory to a player’s main playing cue rather than an everyday shooter. The MCDSH1 is in stock and ready to ship now.

Sledgehammer pool cue
Superb two piece break cue, I’ve used high end break sticks and custom made ones but none have been as solid as this one, I had a white diamond tip put on at pool dawg and couldn’t be happier with the stick. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants their best break possible.

I have to say, after I reciving the McDermott Sledgehammer I broke a rack at home and then took it to League Night ! The whole team is using it now ! POOLDAWG is my 1st choice for online Billards Supply !

McDermott Sledgehammer Break Cue
From my first break I knew I did the right thing in purchasing this stick. What a difference – more durable and a better balance than my existing break cue. And the balls just scattered. I really liked the grip on the butt end as effectively. I would endorse this break cue to anyone that wants to up their game.

Return policy
I researched a stick I bought ftom Pooldawg on all the major pool online retailers. What separated Pooldawg from the others was their return policy. NO questions asked, other retailers wanted to charge restocking fees and shipping fees they incurred. Not decent, not cool with the purchase they return 100% of the purchase price. I bought this stick NOT with the intention of returning it. Pooldawg is now MY official pool supply go to company. Thanks Pooldawg

Sledgehammer is the way to go.
The McDermott Sledgehammer break cue is everything they say it is. Well balanced and hard hitting. My breaks are stronger and the ball action is next to none.

I must admit, incredible and forgiving break stick!

Sledgerhammer Break Cue
This is a great pool cue. The cue ball comes off the tip with a lot of energy and it’s light enough to build a good amount of speed.

Terrific break stick
wonderful cue with excellent grip and balance. Highly recommended!
Riley N. –
Amazing decision!
In my experience, really glad I decided to get this break cue. Much better than constantly different house cues or the fear of damaging a friend’s. The weight and balance are spot on for me too. While I haven’t made an 8-on-break yet, my break has been much more consistent (with a couple of almost made 8s)!

AKA: The JackHammer
Absolutely love the Sledgehammer, or as my teammate calls it, “The JackHammer”. It breaks REALLY well. The standard tip performs great and chalks properly. The rubberized grip feels wonderful too. I bought the 19oz because that’s what I normally shoot with.

This my first break stick
This my first break cue stick. I ordered the 21 ounce and had the phenolic tip changed to a hard clear tip. I like it’s heft and solid feel. I was skeptical of the rubber grip but now I think it’s excellent. My breaks are better now and more consistent. I made the 8 on the break the other night at the local weekly tournament for the first time in competition.

My breaks were only consistent
My breaks were only consistent about 75% of the time. With the Sledgehammer my break consistency has improved to about 97%. Leaving three percent to human error lol.

Capable, efficient. Get LOUD breaks!
Love Am impressed by Appreciate the Sledgehammer. Really good energy transfer, really stable and low-deflection shaft. I use a solid deal of english on the break, and the cue doesn’t seem to flex one little bit. My break has improved significantly with this pool cue, with a quality deal more spread on the balls and better distribution across the table. The silicone grip is a cool addition, and makes for a unique feel. All-in-all, a capable and efficient breaker. One distinct change is just how LOUD my breaks are now, likely from the greater energy sent into the rack.

Smooth breaks! And adjustable…
Sledgehammer feels smooth and well balanced and I like the rubber grip. I also like the fact you can change weights to experiment with lighter or heavier cue weights.

Truthfully, as age is creeping upward upon me, I researched information for a breaker to perform well with that thought in mind. The SH1 sledgehammer has met the criteria and has provided me with a excellent, easier break.

robust gold
I must admit, it acually hit’s like a sledgehammer! It’s controllable and balanced like a shooting cue but punches like a break cue! Everything I wanted with the athletic grip and stiffness of the shaft!

Breaking Stick
I have to say, i am very satisfied with the appropriately named sledgehammer breaking stick. Pocketed the 9 ball on the break in the first few 9 ball games I played with it. Nothing better than a golden break.

McDermott Sledgehammer
I have to say, ordered a 20ounce Sledgehammer and the cue breaks phenomenally. Scuffed the phenoloc tip and it has no issues holding chalk. I hooe to never have to play without a break cue stick again.
