OH MY YOU GUYS MIGHT BE RIGHT Predator product specialist 11.8 HIGHEST DEFLECTION..

That might be the one. I went through all the videos on their YouTube channel and opened each one that might have it in a new tab about an hour ago. This was one of them. I’ll watch them later.

watched it not the one

Billiards is the tower of babel, lots of talking and lots of misunderstanding.
The academic discussion on language is interesting.

Predator provides great opportunities for the billiard community.
I love having different deflection cues for when my guests are enjoying the table.

Don't all three shafts cause very similar squirt? I figure it's more of a pick your preferred tip size and taper when choosing between them.

the lower the end-mass equates to lower squirt. not a huge difference in them but the 11.8 is the lowest. i A-B'd a Mezz Ignite(12.2) against a Rhino 12.8. The Mezz was lower but by a very small amount. The Mezz feels/plays great but i just don't like that small a diameter.

I’m 99% sure there is a video out from Predator a few years back, where the main designer of the shafts for 30 years himself was on it. NOT a marketing person. He had said the 12.9 was less “cb squirt” than the 12.4. This video was probably before the 11.8 was released.

I've been talking math and science. The ability to detect the differences in deflection in the fewest number of shots is why I am talking on the thread.

How many players can visually identify the differences when shooting with different deflection cues?

I finally brought my home cue ball to the tournament table, equipment matters.

Deflection issues are amplified on less than standard equipment.
