Pool is a game of extreme accuracy. So why wouldn't you want to play with the cue that shoots the straightest?
That's exactly why so many professionals have switched to Predator technology. More than 50% of today's top 40 ranked male professionals rely on Predator. But Predator isn't only for the professional. Players at all levels need time to learn how to compensate for cue ball deflection and since Predator shafts dramatically reduce cue ball deflection, they help less experienced players move more quickly through the learning process. In fact, the majority of beginning or intermediate players notice an immediate improvement in their game when they use Predator.
Predator's ferrule (US Pat. 5725437) and internal bore (US Pat. 6162128) reduce the shaft's tendency to buckle on impact and allow the cue ball to push the shaft aside instead of the shaft pushing the cue ball off line.
The purer transfer of energy in a Predator produces less vibration and leaves you with a very solid and positive feedback from your cue.
Spin is directly related to cue ball deflection. The less deflection, the more spin. Predator produces more spin than any conventional cue, which makes it easier to draw, follow and move your cue ball around the table.
Predator's unique 10 piece splicing eliminates grain directionality and produces a consistency of flex and straightness unequaled by any traditional one-piece shaft.
