So is it going to hit like wood reinforced with carbon?

or

Hit like carbon disguised as wood.

It's getting out of hand.

Oh, the predator website says sold out. I didn’t really look around to see if it was sold out everywhere.

Seems to defeat the main advantage of carbon for many which is the fact that it doesn’t ding easily like wood..

So, did predator just remake the cuetec r360 shaft? If memory serves correctly, this is the same principle.

I don’t know what to tell you I was on their website right before I put this and at the bottom it said sold out

New to pool cues, not new to baseball bats.

Looks like they have copied the Mezz EX Pro shaft. It’s an identical model…

 

[mistamikel]

McDermott has been doing this for years with their I-shaft series.
Mezz as well.
And countless others.
This isn't new tech.

OB also had a "Fusion" line with the same idea.

Sounds more like the OB Fusion.

Yea this one too. I forget about it.

They are essentially late to the game but still want that market. LOL

Yep.

So the carbon insert/rod through the shaft is also to prevent warps.

Play with one or the other. Hybrids is a joke ting.

Mezz Hybrid Pro 2 was on the market a good while before OB Fusion

I think the triple 60 carbon shaft that looks like wood is a better product. But I still play with a Predator Z.

I was about to pull the trigger on a mezz expro shaft, but since the centro just came out ima give it a shot. They both seem pretty much identical
