New Predator Cues and Shafts

No matter what anyone in this industry, especially predator, does to try to come up with new technology, there are always going to be plenty of nay sayers out there quick to line up and bash these products or "be critical" of them. Fortunately, not everyone bases there opinion of products on the same criteria. I am a fan of predator shafts and am excited to try the new shaft. If I don't like it, so be it. My opinion of predator will not be swayed. We wouldn't have advanced this far in the world if not for people throwing new ideas out there and getting some feedback for the next time.
 
I had always heard that the 314 came about because the final design they used came after 313 that they tried before they were ultimately satisfied.

Does this mean the tip will be 162.56mm and the shaft 784in long? Im lost?

nipponbilliards, I too thought of the pi connection and it makes sense. But after that I just think that it was what looked/sounded the best for the new design. They thought they were being clever the first time but ha, what now you math debauchees? What else would they have called it? I thinks its catchy and thats what they wanted this time around IMO.
 
Squared or Two...?

I know how the new logo appears on the shafts. But my question is... Is it meant to represent 314 squared or 314 two (as in BK2)? Possibly the smaller #2 was used to avoid the new product being a 3142 (Not to be confused w/ the 5280 cue line), 314-2, or 314/2? Some times things can't be taken so literal. Just a thought.

I always thought they used 314 because it represented "pi", which ties to the "pie" piece laminated design of the shaft. It had nothing to do with the actual number.

Anyway, Predator's marketing and technology have not only been a great success story, they have changed the pool world.

No, that is not what I meant. When I saw that logo, the maths implication came to mind right away, and it just did not make any sense to me.

Perhaps it had to do with the "pie" shaped laminations used for radial consistancy?
