I agree with what you said except for one thing. The P2 cue was the only cue ever that was made top to bottom in Jacksonville Florida. I spoke years ago to a guy at the plant and asked him why they stopped. He said it was to time consuming and would be much more expensive compared to...

Did you know him? He was skinny and white but creepy, no clue. Hopefully he does the smart thing and let some time go. These aren't hardcore thugs, there wannabe terd pellets who think there hard by robbing a guy for peanuts. One by one he should blind-side each everyone of them till there...

I've loved Predator for years and even when I don't play,I can pick one up and run out. I love most LD shafts and feel Predator wont fade but might take a lapse due to people experimenting with other LD shafts. I went through a period where it really bugged me that my game would take a massive...

I said the communication got bad all the way around. It doesnt take just insults to make a conversation go awry. It could be yelling or not what is said but how its said. You felt insulted, Jim felt insulted, all over a piece of wood at the end of the day. I'm not saying your in the wrong cause...

As far as stroke is concerned, everything before the final stroke is just pre-shot routine imo. Look at Mike Davis for example, he has one of the most disturbing strokes I've ever seen from a player on his level. What he does before the final stroke looks brutal till the last one where he comes...

I'm not sure your theory is correct about bowling alley wood. There is alot of wasted alleywood that is no good for cues but when you get some optimal pieces I find it very stable. I have a entire cue made from that wood including the butt and its as straight as an iron rod and plays incredible...

This is your nicest cue to date, at least for my taste:)Really nice

I think tapers and playability will depend on the day and the runout for the average player.Its sort of like the weight of a cue.I used to play at a decent speed way back and find now that some days I shoot like a king with a 18 ounce cue and the next week I'll feel stronger and play like crap...

What happened? He has 100% feedback and green. Whats the story behind the rip off comment?Thanks

Alot of time people strive for perfection on the table and start going downhill. I for one rely on grinding and potting to get me out of my imperfect game. I've beat big players, won events not even giving a hoot about proper runouts. I consider a proper runout when I runout anyway possible...

They play completly different and thats a fact, just hit with both. I think the difference is that if you take a tray of balls from a poolhall most of the finish is pretty worn down, in turn going down in weight and playing different. I've never hit with 2 brandnew ones side by side but the ones...

Imho, when you use pretty woods, it takes away from it when you use Viking like material at the bottom and the ringwork. The wood is the hero, keep it that way and your work looks clean. Brian Mordt is a prime example of a cuemaker that makes simple plain cues but because of his wood selection...

Miscuing is a result of a poor stroke most of the time. All this pre-flag masters is better than new masters is pure phooey. A lady I know that goes to the trade shows talked to many people about this Masters theory and believe that chalk will dry out and not stick so well overtime unless stored...

Fantastic post!!! Only a handful can play like Efern. With all the great equipment out there really doesn't do a diddly doo unless you have the brain to use it and understand whats really going on.

No ivory unless your willing to except the possibility of cracking due to climate change. Depends on the quality of ivory, can be a giant pain in the ass. Go with any other material that isn't so tempermental.Goodluck

I've drawn my own conclusions on LD shafts. I believe the lower deflection= less feel More deflection = more feel. Most people that like Predator think the feel is dead. Other LD shafts might deflect more than Predator but have more feel. The only LD shaft that I've tried that almost has a pure...

I can post pics if needed but shouldn't last long at all. I've got a first edition green veneer predator sneaky with a steel uniloc joint.The butt has a roll at the which makes the whole cue roll like crap.The shaft is dead nuts straight but has some dings and bluing but structurely great. The...

I've got a Pristine Dustin Yorksie butt with a Pristine 314-2 shaft with a new Kamui Black medium tip.No bluing on the shaft.The butt has a Cortland wrap and a stainless steel 5-16-14 pin.Classic 4pointer . $300 shipped is the best I can do and the cue plays superb.Thanks Scott

You shouldn't pay anymore than 35-50 max. Make sure your cue guy is comfortable working on a Predator. If not done very carefully, the shaft can form little splits on the inside of the shaft and effect the hit of the shaft. Its really should be done with a blank, much less risk of ending up with...

good luck with the sale. BUMP
