Played with a very nice Predator for about 4/5 years. Purchased additional shafts (314/2,Z2) looking to maximize my cue ball action for my stroke and of course accuracy. Happened to win a Dominiak at one of the tour stops. Liked the way it hit so much, that I played the following stops with it...won two more. Have been playing well with it ever since. It's a great hitting, well-made cue all the way around (especially for the price). Radial laminated shaft (and butt in some models) with a 3/8 10 pin, w/wo wrap. No fancy point work, etc. Very basic, but very nice. Diameter is a matter of preference. Usually comes with a Kamui, but I have found a Sniper plays for me.
