    Predator Revo shaft full review and deflection test

    This shaft is only available with the purchase of a cue -- yes for $3500.00 !! The Cues, there are 3 or 4 of them, are ugly as all hell - at least to my eyes...

    Predator Revo shaft full review and deflection test

    So .. How much does this shaft weigh? I remember reading that this shaft would be adjustable by adding or removing some sort of weight. Anyone know?

    Custom joint protectors

    Thanks - next time I'm around there I know where I'll be staying. The MGM property will be off the charts, that's how they do things ... the poker room at their Las Vegas casino is too loud - not isolated well enough from the casino - but the action there has always been strong. Glad to here...

    Custom joint protectors

    There is a Horseshoe in Baltimore these days? When did that happen and where is it? Always thought the inner harbor would be a great place for a casino - you could rob folks from NY, Philly and DC all at one place. I am still surprised that Hooters got to build a joint on the water there.

    Most racks ever run on a Valley bar box

    Sounds like a good Pool Room in here -- Makes me proud to be a member of this virtual meeting place of Pool Hall Junkies. Thanks to all for restoring my faith in humanity... Now Envy, I don't disbelieve that you once made the run you claim to. However, being a gaming man, I am willing to...

    How Do You Maintain Your Shaft?

    Do you care how it looks? Do you refuse to ever do this or that to it? Nick's Edge? Mc Magic? Wet towels? A Steamer? A kitchen cleaning product? Elephant Snot rub down? Just curious to how my fellow members care for their shafts, and why they do it how they do... For me it's Nick's...

    Most racks ever run on a Valley bar box

    Hippie Jimmy Reid was an unbelievably great 8 ball bar box player - in his prime Valley was the table - I have no idea how many racks in a row, but he could hit the big ball better than anyone I have ever known. He once told me he went over 3 years without missing a shot on a bar box -- who...

    Why are Jacoby cues not more popular? Are they not considered custom?

    I'm not sure it is or is not the result from an impact. However there are two different types of damage that can be seen in the photograph. 1) further forward on the sleeve you can see a cloudy void between the clear and the ring under it, as well as many other places on the sleeve .. this...

    Why are Jacoby cues not more popular? Are they not considered custom?

    If a custom cue maker decides to produce a run of cues to sell to a retailer, that doesn't mean that he is no longer a custom builder - provided he still builds customs. About a year ago I went to Dave's booth at the Nationals. He is friendly and informative - he let me hit his hybrid shaft...

    Yes .. now I need professional help. I have to have this butt bored and tapped - perhaps 1/2 16 that goes 8 1/2 inches into the butt. Are you in Nevada, Mike? I see NV after your handle...

    Replacing weight bolt with brass threaded rod

    Thank you 63KCODE and Black Cat - great advice! I have installed the brass rod. Just for the record the 6" brass rod - six inches was all I was able to add without re-boring and tapping - weighed 2.5 ounces compared to the 2.3 ounce weight of the stainless bolt. So, brass is heavier but not...

    Replacing weight bolt with brass threaded rod

    I have a 6" Stainless weight bolt in my Predator Sneaky .. it weighs 2.3 ounces. I have decided to replace it with 9" of like threaded brass rod at 3.7 ounces. I cut a slot in the end of the rod so I can set it with a flat head screw driver. After screwing it in about 2 or 3 inches I noticed...

    Higher end Production Cues have No Value

    Thanks to all who added their strong opinions and insults. About a few things that have been brought up... 1) Schon: They have been around for a while. Folks have come and gone, this company has changed as a result in terms of product offered, customer service, ect. I have no beef with...

    Higher end Production Cues have No Value

    Just wanted to take a few minutes and express some strong opinions, sling a few insults and speak my mind about any production cue, and yes this means you too Schon, that sells for over $500 beans. Why would anyone pay over $500 for any production cue? I think there are two reasons: I have to...

    Ordered MEZZ with ExPro ... :)

    Could you tell us how much the EX PRO weighs? And what weight bolt do you have in the butt? I am curious how heavy it would be with the Mezz 2 oz bolt. Thanks

    Predator "black shafts?"

    A weight adjustable shaft -- I really like this !!! My biggest problem with most LD shafts is that they are too light and buzzy. McDermott has used carbon fiber and or graphite in their shafts for some time, and Mezz has taken it to new heights with their Ex pro shaft, but this new Predator...

    Thanks for all the info everyone. This will be my third rugged case, got the last one from Seyberts and the first one directly from John - he shipped it to me out of his ride as he was traveling between events. Sounds like you need to find a way to increase production, John! Glad to hear...
