    Permanent cue extender for Predator cues?

    Got a friend who bought the predator butt extension and have it cut the length into half. Works pretty similar to the mezz extension. Personally I just use the balance rite shaft extension

    An open note to Predator regarding REVO availability

    i wanted to get the revo last month. I got to play with the demo shaft and loved it but 6 months wait list. is too long a wait and the resale market is selling higher than the RRP. i ended up getting a new vantage shaft and an predator butt extension. i'll still get one revo shaft eventually...

    predator shaft choice.

    I already got the vantage shaft as I always wanted a thicker diameter. I find that it's more forgiving for long shots with English. But I noticed no difference between the revo and the vantage. I did try the 3143 as well. But revo and vantage shaft was more to what I am looking for. Maybe it's...

    predator shaft choice.

    Thank for the replies. I have the opportunity to try out both the revo 12.9 and vantage at the shop. Both play quite similar and the revo sounds nicer with the metallic sound and it's slightly better for long straights, but nothing that the vantage couldnt reproduce too. Both of them move the...

    predator shaft choice.

    it will be hard for me to test them out, I dont see any revos being used in the local poolhalls yet. is the vantage's deflection a lot more compared to the 3142? and are both tapers the same? i probably can find the answers from predator website but feedback from real users would be better...

    predator shaft choice.

    after playing with a delaminated 3142 for a long while, i finally decided to change a new shaft. Now the question is, is it still worth to get a vantage shaft as replacement? Everyone is talking about revo shaft nowadays but its a 5 months wait list and higher price than the vantage which is...

    How long does a shaft last?

    I glad to hear that most shafts can last for long time. Clearly it wasn't the case for my 314s shafts. Perhaps they don't make them the way they used to. hopefully my new shaft will last longer then my past shafts, fingers crosssed. Ps: i do not use the play shaft for breaks or jumps. Just...

    best dedicated jump cue

    not sure which jump cue is the best to be honest, it's very hard to say which is best. I have a mezz airshooter in my case for the longest time, it gets the job done when needed.

    How long does a shaft last?

    I agree with everything u said. The 314s are using waterbased glue to hold the laminates together. That was what i was told. Cleaning it too much may make it delaminate faster. Perhaps it may be better not to clean them at all.

    How long does a shaft last?

    when you guys say maintained properly, meaning its kept in the cue case and wiped down every time you finished playing? i never clean my shafts. because i do not really like to introduce too much moisture to the wood. the humidity level is high where i lived. thats why i asked about shaft...

    How long does a shaft last?

    Hi Guys How long does a normal playing shaft last before it show signs of warping or delaminating ( in the case of 314s) or how long before the ferrule cracks? I played with 314s a lot and their ferrules cracked after sometime and one even delaminated from the ferrule spilt to the middle of...

    Mezz butts and mezz joints

    Hi hi May I ask which mezz shaft do you feel is the better mezz shaft in your opinion? I have played with their hp2 and wd700 and the normal maple shaft, but i keep going back to the maple shaft.

    advice on shaft replacement

    Hi Guys I stopped playing for a few years and recently found some time to play again. The 314 shaft i used to play with seems to have some cracks and delaminations on the ferrule area and the wood just below the ferrule. I wonder how did it happened inside the case, maybe the glue just dried...

    How important is the sound a tip makes to you?

    I have a shaft with a old moori tip on it and it gave a sweet ping sound, not too loud, it feels about right. I put another shaft with a triangle tip on the same butt gave a dull thud when hit and also felt quite dead. But i think it's personal preference, sound or no sound, overall it should...
