DA said on his FB page that he has cut ties with Predator. His decision. Said he's lookin forward. Be great to see him playing again. Any guesses on his new wand? Cuetec? Tiger(he likes their tips)? Peri? Meucci(yeah right)?
 
This was posted by him on Facebook and it mentions his own brand of cues.

I doubt a custom cue make will match the $$ of the production companies. Cue tech seems logical.
 
"Own line of cues" could translate in a variety of ways. The most extreme being, building the whole thing from scratch, ordering machinery, etc., and still hiring some talented cuemaker to actually make them. My guess though, in this case Darren could have been collaborating with some of the manufacturers, most probably based in China.
 
Someone mentioned Cuetec and he said no

I'm no pro, but having shot with Predator since the 90's, I find it so difficult to play anything else. I wonder how well he will adjust, as he's been with them since the beginning I believe.

Last time I saw him, which was not too long ago, he was playing with the new budget Predator cue, and the shaft from that is not very low deflection when compared to say a 314-3 or a Z. The Cuetec LD shafts are about the same LD level so aiming would not really be an issue.
