I had a predator shaft (314-2) and after2years a crack appeared just below the ferrule. I returned it to predator and they told me it was due to the diameter being reduced to 11.85 mm.......so I bought another shaft 2 months ago and yesterday, much to my chagrin, I see a crack 3/4 way down the shaft. no way in hell the diameter would have reduced in that amount of time and I am basically done with predator shafts. so, my question is, "what type of glue would be appropriate that would dry clear"? or, is there some other remedy?

Do a search and you will find many in a similar situation. If you must have a Predator shaft, it can be repaired, but will not play the same (depending on how bad it is). I have dealt with Predator's CS in the past and have nothing bad to say about it. I use Tiger Ultra X LD shafts, currently, but I have not dealt with their CS yet.

I would give Predator a call and see what they can do about it. A company that stands behind their product is a good company. It's your decision if Predator is a good company.

I must invest in one ASAP, I used my friends BK3 all day yesterday and fell in love, I never thought I needed one because I like soft breaking with my playing cue but some tournaments encourage that you break hard in my area.
