I appreciate the response, however I'm fairly confident in my identification, and am primarily looking for any definitive feedback to either support or refute my conclusion. Is there anything specifically that you're seeing that leads you to believe it's not the maker/model that I've landed on?

I've located another forum post from 8 years ago, with images of an identical cue, and everything seems to line up. The primary reason for my certainty, though, is the attached manufacturers brochure. Wrap color aside, it's a match, and I'm just hoping to get confirmation from someone who's actually owned the model in question.

I have had a number cues from that catalog, including Starfire -Jet, and Starfire-Jet ebony.

You have one. But it's not Abe Rich as you have been told already.

Shoot-Out Drama As The PBS Continues In The Alps

azhousepro
PLAY CONTINUED AT the Predator Pro Billiard Series in St Johann, Austria as the Billard Beckmann Men’s Open played down to the last 32 on the winner’s side, with a quartet of matches decided via the nerve-jangling shoot-out. Dennis Grabe prevailed over Miesko Fortunski by 4-2, while Daniel Maciol bested Pijus Labutis by 5-4. The other two were more epic as firstly Ralf Souquet recorded a wonderful victory over Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, winning 13-12 with just one ball missed between them. Then shortly after Wojciech Szewczyk outlasted Mika Van Berkel 14-13 to advance. Souquet started out as an underdog against […]

That seems plausible, the original owner stated that he purchased in the late sixties after returning from Vietnam. I believe I read somewhere that Saul founded the company, and was followed up by Abe, maybe a father son thing? I'm not sure, but I appreciate the feedback. (y)

The history of predator low defection.. interesting video

By updating the internal structure with their V-Tek construction, Predator engineered the 314-3 to be 3% lighter at the front end. This reduction in mass results in a claimed 4% decrease in deflection compared to the older 314-2, while simultaneously making the shaft stiffer and stronger.

I doubt that 4% is something that a human can notice or adjust for, so in other words, they play just the same…

Has Anyone Ever Seen This?

I
As a teen I used to clean the tables at the pool room daily to "pay" for my pool time. Once a week the owner insisted I use soapy water(he would mix it and there wasn't much soap in it at all) on the bed cloth only. I would scrub it with a regular old handtowel soaked in the liquid. Took the tables about 4 hours to fully dry where you could play on them with the ac running. It worked really well. I would always do it first thing after lunch during a down time when nobody was playing. All the tables were Simonis 860 in the early to mid 90s. The poolroom was owned by the late Bob Ogburn.

I loved mine as well, I even offered to pay him extra but he still refused. I play with longer cues so I can’t even buy one of the old tube style ones when they come up for sale at times, I had Jack make my original one 2” longer than his standard cases were
