The Predator has a firmer hit ,with the Predator shaft, I can use less of the cue ball ,and less power to achieve english ,and sets..
OB's hits are much softer than predator,, I have to hit the ball harder to get around the table ,, and I have to compensate the tangent line more with Ob's to achieve my desired english ..
Predators Trump OB's hands down i.m.o.
I started with Predator shafts and I like them, but I had to try the OB1 shafts to see if they felt better to me so I bought 2 of them. One of the OB1 shafts I bought felt real good, but the other shaft didn't feel anything like the first OB1. I don't know why they played so differently, but they did. I sold the OB1 shafts and i'm back playing with my predator 314-2 shafts. I agree with the above post that the predator shafts have a firmer hit than the OB1 shafts that I tried and I like that better. I think it's up to the individual as far as what's better, but for me i'm sticking with Predator shafts. They've improved my game and confidence a lot.........
