Just saw this on there web site. I like predator. Like the way it hits..never had a problem with quality but I do recognize that no one pushes there brand and some nonsense to go with it like they do lol

I'm sure the predator sucks people will roll in and to you I say to each their own. :smile: life is to short to eat bad food, drink cheap booze , having sex with ugly mean women and playing pool with a cue you don't like. lol
 
From what I learned at SBX from the creator of this shaft, these wipes have an alcohol to water ratio that is suitable to clean the shafts and not compromise the process finish on the shaft. They use a profilometer (sp?) to measure the surface friction and these are custom made to work with the finish. I guess we can ask someone who uses REVO after a while that does use these, and someone who doesnt and compare. Im certain the one who doesnt will have stickier shaft..they give you a microfiber towlette to wipe off all the major debris, and then you use the wipe to provide that factory finish every time you clean it, so its just like new again. This is pretty smart considering you cannot sand or clean the shaft like most cue repair shops attempt to do, poorly.

I got the impression that you can use any kind of wipe on the Revo shaft. The ones that Predator are selling have no additives or fragrance. We'll see how it works...I get my Revo shaft this Friday. I can't wait! I'll be posting performance reviews regularly. :thumbup:

Yet, the sales people and pros bang the shafts on the table rails to prove how indestructible they are for life...But use an alcohol based pre packaged towelette from McDonald's and you are SOL.

:rolleyes:

Trob is correct- that company is a marketing wonder.

I did not think you could just bye the shaft, that you needed to by special edition cue for $2100 to get revo.
 
Predator tells you that they're selling a shaft that you can only get with the purchase of a cue that costs $3,100, nobody panics. They sell one little piece of alcohol prep pad for $20 and everyone loses their minds!!!
 
Scott, You probably won't like the shaft since with perfect mechanics (which I've seen you have) it'll be to no advantage. I on the other hand should use any tool which might help me shoot a little better. Having said that, I think you ought to send it to me. Call me and I'll send you my address. I'll even pay shipping.

No no that's the layman's ignorant assumption. These are clearly specially formulated with microdroplets carefully manufactured in the vacuum of space to have an UtlraPrecision(tm) anti-abrasion polymer reaction with the surface. Thus the resulting film perfectly adjusts to each users skin cells to create a frictionless bond allowing for an UltraGlide(tm) environment that enhances the application of spin by 63.7% over the best shaft ever tested. Only Revo Wipes with a Revo shaft can achieve this level of human-shaft grafting.

Get with the program people, Technology - Unquestionable - Unchallengeable - UnUnderstandable.
 
You may say this is going too far, but I don't think they're going far enough! IMO, everyone that buys the spec. edition cues should be forced to wear a full Predator clothing line, complete with backwards baseball cap. Kind of like the Ferrari clothes that some people wear:rolleyes:.

Isn't that with a super expensive cue?

That's how I understood it.
 
Mitch...I've had my Revo shaft now for two weeks...and I love it! Tell you what...you can play with it the next time I come up your way (probably Sept.). You should be able to find a jump cue by then too! :grin-square:

UM, yeah...that's more or less what I was thinking,

I'd bet that the Predator Revo wipes, while an ingenious stroke of capitalism, are nothing more than smaller, way more expensive versions of what I've used on my children's butts (anatomical, not pool cue) while they were in diapers.

Granted, the Revo sizing of the wipes are a lot more practical for your average cue case accessory compartment than are the Costco size. That may justify the price difference, LOL.

I'm mildly shocked that you left out the part about the 2 different sized shafts. Its like the biggest thing now...using 12.4mm wipes on the 12.9mm shaft...it reduces cue ball squirt by 19%.

I'm ready for the new market of high performance CF Shaft wipes. Get on my level.

Edit> I like the Revo and want one. Also I believe in most cases isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol which is in most wipes) typically is offered in 70% and 91% concentrations. For quick cleaning of wood shafts, the 91% is far more preferable, since it evaporates more quickly and doesn't raise the grain of the wood. The 70% has a fair amount of water in it I believe. You can buy a liter of 91% at CVS for like a buck fitty. Then you get some gauze, and one of those plastic bag sealers. You could make about 500 of those wipes for around 3 bucks (if you own the bag sealer) lol.

Lol.

I suspect that the wearing of Ferrari clothes correlates negatively with owning a Ferrari car.
