Double Butterfly

Usually I'm not a big fan of butterfly cues but this one loooks really nice if it didn't have the big cat logo in the middle of it.

It is a beautiful cue, agreed the cat should stay outside.
But God almighty, I could buy a used Subaru for that price.
I would love to see how it plays.

I dig butterfly splices but could do without the kitty.

If I had a unlimited supply of extra cash I'd order one of those cues "IF " the cat logo were to go away !

But I'll be satisfied to bring my old predator Sneaky Pete out of retirement just to listen to them cuss because I still am playing pool ha ha

And they haven't offered to sponsor me so the neck with them !

That might be the first Predator cue I can stand to look at.

With money to burn I would send it to a cue maker, get a wrap channel cut, and have a smooth black leather wrap put on it.

What a way to destroy a cue. That branding.

I could not buy, or even use, it. The Cat, as do other logos, signatures, etc., becomes more and more intrusive and distracting every day. Bad juju for me. I like the fact that the identity of a maker is readily available, but Scruggs, et al., solved this problem long ago in a very fine fashion. I too considered immediate modification as a potential remedy. However, if Predator thought so little of their cues, then how could I care more? Sadly, this like so much of modern life, will get worse before it has even a chance of getting better.

Edit under the heading "Not What But How"
I am compelled to note that signatures can be applied in a manner I find wholly acceptable. I have a Russ Espiritu cue signed and dated in such manner (deep between the points, in small script, which blends in with the grain) that I have to search to find it. It's as though Mr. Espiritu and I share inside information while Predator chooses to run roads it owns, while screaming, "look at me, look at me". This comparison speaks volumes and sufficiently informs me of my preference.
