I shot with a predator sneaky a few years back. i ended up selling it because any time i had to use a little power in my shot it seemed that the uniloc collar would come loose. Told myself I would not buy another predator and up to this point i had not. I saw that they came out with a radial willie 526 series cues. I really like the old school look of these and I had to pick one up. it also gave me a chance to try out the new 12.4 revo. i tried the 12.9 when it first came out and that shaft was just too thick for me to use. I primarily use 12.4 down to 11.75 mm shafts. I really love the hit and like the look of this cue.
