I like nice butts! ???

[The Captain]

Ok, here’s the situation. I want a Revo CF shaft. Looking for an all black wrapless butt. So far, the choices I’ve found are a Predator P3, and Predator SP2. I LOVE my 1985 McDermont with original shaft, but also my 2011 Schon with original shaft. I KNOW, I KNOW…. EXACT opposite feels. Lol. I would honestly like something in either END of the spectrum. Softer like the McD, or crispier like the Schon. I know the Revo shaft will be the crispier end! BUT… is there any difference between the feel/quality of the P3 or the Sport 2 butts from Predator? Also…. If you have any other recommendations for a HIGHER quality butt, I’m open. Again preferences are either plain black collar or no collar, to look continuous with the Revo shaft. I have allocated 2k for the BUTT only. But, I want QUALITY and playability more than collectibility. So no Balabuska, Tascarella, Tad, Searing (his shafts RULE), Ginacue, etc…. Thank you

A friend of mine found a nice plain Diveney that matches nice with the revo. I think he paid 400.00 for it. I wonder how much difference there is in playability from say a cheap 100 dollar cue/butt versus a 500-1000 dollar cue/butt,given same pin/joint style and weight?

Go to Syberts and buy a black/brown 1811 wrap less Uni Loc quick release cue for $149.
Add that $499 Revo and your good to go.

P3 with the radial pin has a nice hit, but really you are paying for some paint and a Chinese made cue for the price of what many guys will build you a custom US made plain jane for.

The Aspire series from Predator should match the Revo nicely and is much cheaper than a P3.

If you don't mind leather instead of wrapless the Konnlen and J Flowers cues are well made and will be fine with a Revo. I know someone that has one, and played with it, with a Revo, was not bad at all, the fit and finish was very good. The shafts they come with are not very good but the butts are well done. I would buy one of those over a Predator for the cost all day long. https://www.amazon.com/Professional...d1-a49a-7b1259a4b36e&pd_rd_i=B08TC41291&psc=1

For a Predator, this Roadline is nice with a Revo if you like the black on black look, looks to be 1,000 including the shaft. https://www.pooldawg.com/catalog/product/view/id/63694/s/presp4bn-pool-cue/category/809/
