New Predator Break Cue is out
- Thread starter RickLafayette
- Start date
I have no problem paying $2K+ for a custom player....but $700 for a break cue is ridiculous. Even if it cost only $200 more than the BK3 because of the revo shaft, it's just for Breaking!
Probably just trying to cash in before break cues are banned.
Ya, the break doesn't mean a thing....smh.
If you want one, Rick at Seybert's could probably get one to you before anyone else.
It's what the market will bear. Predator is no longer a pool company. It is a cash manufacturing marketing machine. $500 for a Revo? Please. I know guys that have both Revos but whatever floats your boat. I'm one of the fools that says it's good to have comfortable equipment, shafts with comfortable tapers and thickness, but it's still the indian, not the arrow that can read the table.
I have absolutely no problem with the people who wouldn't mind spending the money for the BK-Rush. If they feel it's worth their money, God Bless them. I'm not some jealous socialist. I'm just saying, they are a minority amongst all the pool players. It's certainly not for the masses, which includes me.
I agree. It's their money. I'm of the camp that technique and timing on the break shot is more important than the break stick. Make a ball on the break and leave the cue ball smack in the center of the table. Hopefully you can do ti consistently. All the money in the world won't buy that.
People spend 750-800 on a dymundwood j/b so everyone saying overpriced are too funny.
Sept 15th is the date I've heard.
You don't own one yet and will give Predator more money if you buy it. Of course that holds true for pretty much any product LOL, look at the iPhone craze every time they change a color or move or remove a jack, seems half the planet is in line waiting to buy it to replace their 1 year of phones.
I totally agree... Some times the Tip can help. But you are correct buddy.
You can spend your money any way you want. God bless you. Not me. I just spent $1400 on a custom player I designed and had made for me so I can spend my money too. I will never sell it and I'm keeping it forever to pass on to my son. $500 on a shaft? $700 on a jump cue? $600 on a break cue. I can afford it but don't see the value. No thanks.
There must be demand, or they would not have built it and priced it this way, but for the life of me, I CANNOT understand how someone would spend this much on a break cue. A 80 dollar Amazon special is going to give you very close to the same results...
Save your money and do one\a few of the following:
Take a lesson or two
Pay table time for a long time and practice
Put your skills to the test and lay some cash down on a money game
If you do not have a quality playing cue, buy one. (I suspect this is not an issue for someone who would drop 7 hundred on a break cue
If breaking is your achilles heal...practice it over and over. Hit em hard, leave the ball in the middle of the table...Continue practicing until you can do that...
Crazy.

It's magic. It says Predator on it.
