Are high end predators hard to sell on the secondary market?

1) they are pro’s . I never compare myself what an elite player uses. Because I’m not them.
2) they all use different cue’s and shafts because we aren’t all robots and like different shit. It’s not being a fan boy. If I didn’t the the way the revo hit I wouldn’t play with it. If you think a wood shaft plays better then by all means use it. Don’t try force yourself to play with something you don’t like.

There is nothing wrong with people liking what they like, I was just responding to the idea of amateur pool players thinking CF will make them better because they see pros using them.

Are high end predators hard to sell on the secondary market?

It plays fine. The only thing I like less about the P+ pro is the 5/8" ferrule, but the blame for that falls solely on my other shafts that have 1/2" ferrule (wood Predator) or less (Revo <1/16", HOW flash 1/16".) I've fallen out of love with it, which strictly speaking was never marriage material to begin with. Maybe the Rogue is ex-wife material (1/8" ferrule), who knows. Their P+ lite (7/16" ferrule) would be more of my jam if I were starting my Pechauer wood shaft journey from scratch. But for the money you have to spend (~$300 new) and having played with Predator shafts, I'd just buy a new 314-3/Z3 for $60-80 more or a used/previous generation 314/Z.

I actually prefer ferrules to be at least half an inch, I think the Meucci one is perfect

FairCue software is the most advanced Pool Tournament/League management software on the market

Hi everyone,

I'm a pool player and the developer of FairCue, a Windows desktop program for running pool tournaments and leagues.

Why it's different
  • 100% offline. It runs on your PC with no internet needed. That means no dropped Wi-Fi in a basement pool hall, no cloud account, and your player data stays on your machine.
  • Perpetual license. Pay once and own it. There are no monthly or yearly fees, and nothing stops working if you stop paying.
  • Auto Resume : Your laptop ran out of battery, no problem, you find that power cable and restart FairCue. The tournament will restart where you left off. Normally, I would add if your laptop or windows crashes but since we have launch the software, this has never happen. Finger's Crossed
What it does
  • Fair matchups: brackets and pairings built with fairness in mind, plus tools to test how fair a draw is. This is based on an advance Blossom equation. Fairness is guaranteed. You will not play against the same player unless you have played all of them. We have operators with 6 months of data that shows how fair our software is.
  • Chip and Bracket Tournament : Whether you want to run a "Chip tournament" or your typical single or double elimination tournament, We got you covered.
  • Purse and payouts: track entry fees and prize money.
  • Table assignment management : Set your table priorities and let FairCue do the rest. It will assign tables to all matches automatically based on your table priority.
  • Leagues and history: season standings and past results in one place.
  • PDF export: print or share results and brackets.
  • Live display: a stream overlay and companion app for spectators.
  • Optional Challonge sync: only if you want it. Everything else works without it.
  • Languages: English and French.
  • Fargo and custom "ELO" tracking : You are in control with FairCue. Choose the Fargo Rating formula or out custom ELO rating formula.
  • Build for speed : FairCue is quick, even on old hardware. The matchup generation is almost instant.
  • Who it's for : Tour directors, league operators, and room owners who run weekly or regional events and want a tool they own outright and can trust on tournament day.

We've have been running this software in our local pool hall for months. It has been battle tested. Fairness guaranteed.

We are open to customization based on your need.

Thanks,

Cue Sports International

In fairness, it's pretty easy to "chat" with an Amazon representative. I've gotten things sorted out with them in the past this way. Your point still stands though. Something has to give on the customer care front sooner or later.
And I had a good experience with an Adobe tech (in India) but I don't think he was actually supposed to help me. Adobe has moved to a subscription model, so you have to pay them every month whether you use the software or not. After having paid over a thousand for a "permanent" license, they want me to also pay a subscription fee.
