Does the added information and pictures clear this up some?It's there to spread the impact forces. It's a pretty common design, Predator aren't the only ones using that design. OB shafts used a similar pad and many CF shafts with very short ferrules uses a pad to spread the load and also dampen vibrations.
Please explain?You just outed yourself![]()
Yes - I “shattered” 2 OB cue shafts, resulting in the switch to Predator. That’s why this is so important to me.It's there to spread the impact forces.

Yeah, I guess I didn't frame them as two different questions.The question is ambiguous. If you want maximum spin relative to speed as the ball leaves the tip, hit the cue ball as far off-center as you can.
If you want max side spin relative to speed after the cue ball has acquired normal roll, hit at 4:30 or 7:30 and as far from center as you can without miscuing.
"How high or low" means nothing without more context.
If you really want maximum backspin, elevate to near 90 degrees. The cue ball will come back to you without hitting a ball.

Samsara tips can pop off if they aren't prepped right.
You are using very confusing language, that doesn't help.
Predator shafts isn't more difficult to work on than any other brands, granted you know what you are doing.
Sorry - It “functions” like a boilerplate according to their website.One last thing: if we're talking about a wood BK2 shaft that plate is just called a 'tip plate', never heard 'boilerplate' used in regards to these shafts. Should not be hard to fix.

The cue technician couldn’t understand why it was there.
You just outed yourselfYes, bigots and crybabies are often one in the same.
That’s the feedback that I’d gotten from the tech. It made me a bit uncomfortable. Hey - The tip came off and exposed the dirt. Anyone knows how seeing a tip fly off during a match can be.Sorry - it’s called the “vault plate.”
Now we’re on the same page. The cue technician couldn’t understand why it was there."The tip technology with the phenolic tip and carbon fiber plate, provides maximum energy transfer for a wood shaft"
