hi forum,i want to get a new cue,i like joss,but was looking at the new predator roadline le6 purple heart cue,your opinions would be welcome.thanks
If you are talking about a regular Joss cue I would recommend Predator.
I don't know anything about Joss low deflection stuff, but I can't imagine it being better than Predator.
Also Predator will retain more of the original value.
Of those 2 choices I would have to pass on either, except an old block letter Joss. I would choose a Schmelke over either. I would choose Pechauer over ANY production cue, and that includes Schon, except Runde era! (These are my opinions)hi forum,i want to get a new cue,i like joss,but was looking at the new predator roadline le6 purple heart cue,your opinions would be welcome.thanks

I do not need to back it up, however, I've owned each, so I have the right to opine. You threw your comment out there about Joss like Peter wrote it on the the Rock, without backing it up. I thought for sure I expressed in english, in my last sentence, in parenthesis, that these were my opinions. Maybe I should edit my comment!Why? It`s one thing to just throw out statements, but you need to back it up somehow.

Mezz......
The OP clearly asked for opinions from anybody on this forum. Was that a 'language thing' for you? I expressed my opinion then you come trying to bulldog me? Not happening. You should have immediately told the OP not to ask opinions from just anybody on this forum, to only ask self-proclaimed experts like yourself.That didn`t make much sense to me, might be a language thing?
Anyway, the OP asked abouth Joss or Predator, I gave an aswer based on a a volume of experience with both brands.
I do a fair bit of repair work, and some brands are more represented than others, Pechauer and Predator are amongst them...
Pechauer also has that nasty proprietary screw, making it more difficult to find aftermarket shafts that fits.
@J2pac. Yeah I agree, Mezz is the superior production brand out there.
The other day I mentioned Pechauer to a top tier cuemaker when we were discussing wood, and he said "Pechauer should not be building pool cues."

I have been shooting pool since 1978 and had many custom and production cues. IMO none of the compare to the Predator Revo. The shaft is what is important! I personally think that butt of any cue is for looks, the shaft is for performance. Get what looks good to you and put a Revo shaft on it. You will not be disappointed.
