Get_A_Grip...You'll be waiting a long time, if you're waiting for Revo shafts to be imported. They are manufactured in Boston...not China.

Predator Revo Shafts
- Thread starter gordml
- Start date
I got it yesterday. I'm just telling you what the company that I bought it from told me. Although, they did say that Predator keeps that type of stuff close to the vest.
The direct quote from email:
Boston, China, wherever, there has been a long back order for Revo.
I looks like there may be some production issues or they would have met the demand.
Not sure if I posted to this thread in December or not; but .... I've had my 12.4 for a couple months now. Very odd feel to it - but I do like it. Personally I think anything over $200 for a shaft is overpriced - so you can imagine how I feel about $500 for the Revo. Still - I have it - I'll use it at times.
My 314-2 was Fat at 13.2. When I changed to open bridge it did not matter. My first Revo is 12.9 and has a great feel but givien the choice i use the 12.4

Love it
Been playing with a 12.9 for about 6 month now and I love it.
My one concern was how difficult it might be to change the tip myself on a small lathe. I finally replaced it today and it really wasn't a big deal. Just took my time.

Nice job. Patience and caution .... it works out fine.

Speaking of black, I was a bit surprised to see that the Revo is more of a dark gray and not actually a deep black color.

yea ... was kinda hoping it matched my P3 a bit better ... but oh well
Hey, did anyone determine that they are shooting more accurately with the Revo?
Now that I've been playing with it more, today I actually said out loud, "deadly" after I played for a few hours.
I'm not sure what it is, but many longer shots now seem to go straight in with no problem.
Whether it's psychological or something else, I don't know, but I'm liking it.

Revo shaft
couple questions
I just got (about 2 weeks ago) a p3 with a 12.4 revo.
I 've been using it without a glove and my bridgehand keeps getting black on it. I've wiped it once with one of the alcohol wipes they send with it, and constantly just wiping it down with a piece of cloth for the chalk buildup.
How long if you use it quite a lot does it take for the black to stop coming off ?
or does it not stop coming off ?
How often do you wipe it with the alcohol wipe ?
I'm assuming that when the wipes that came with it are gone, that I can just use iso alconol on a soft rag. Will that be ok ?
When your aiming, are you putting the tip exactly where you want to hit, because of the lower deflection ?
Any info or suggestions would be appreciated..........

I can't answer your first question because I wear a glove but I have never used the wipes that came with my shaft. I just use 91% isopropyl alcohol (available at any drug store or most supermarkets) and an old t-shirt. I never have to wipe down the shaft when shooting (because of the glove) but if you have to, a slightly dampened paper towel should do the trick.
Appreciate the info.
Anybody not use a glove and have the black coming off on your hand ?
The black may be coming FROM your hand, and not the shaft. Your skin will pick up chalk dust and dirt. The shaft may be rubbing the dirt off your hand, which you may think is stuff coming off the shaft.
Yep. Got the black hand at first but not so much now. Not a big deal. The chalk is a pita. My hand is pretty dirty after a few hours from the chalk
Thanks, at least I know it's not some kind of defect.
Did you just use the alcohol and that stopped it after awhile ?
