Josh Filler 2025 results

[Woodshaft]

Filler misses his wood Z3 shaft imo. Predator basically "forced" him to use Revo (again) so he told them to make him a specially engineered one and he would use it.
Predator also tried to force Biado to switch from his wood Vantage shaft to Revo a few times, but Biado wins World Championships with wood and is back with Vantage shaft and in World 10-Ball final 4 atm.
But back to Filler-- most of his major tournament wins are with his Z3, he misses it, he just shoots better with it.
He looks less confident using the Revo, bobbles a lot more shots with it, and is losing more matches to the 800+ guys than he used to because of his lack of confidence. Watch him in his chair against the better players, he gets nervous/upset more often than he did with Z3.
If I were him I'd go back to wood like Biado did, especially now that tournament pots are getting larger.

I would love to know how it is you know what Predator "forces" their players to do? That is some real inside info right there thanks for filling us in.

I have also noticed Filler shaking in his chair from lack of confidence which is obviously because he has to play with a revo and not his wood shaft. Great observation as he remains the highest rated player in the world with the revo lol.

he almost clean sweeped derby with that revo, won two china opens, a world 8b champs, MR european open, buffalos one pocket.. so it doesn't really hold water.

it's probably true there was a financial incentive from predator though, and that he didn't want to change from the Z3 at first.

With the way Shane has been playing lately, only a very very small number of players would want to go up against him.
