If someone likes it and has the $$$ to burn on a shiny new cue they like - more power to them.
I'm not really a fan and i think $5k is ridiculous, but that's why i won't be buying one. Different strokes.
How does it shoot?
I agree on the LD stuff. And shared the same opinion on the breakers until I ordered a $2500 custom cue to break with about a month ago. Now it turns me into a hypocrite if I agree with you on that one. Although I’d never shoot a Predator, $800 isn’t a bad price if it’s a breaker from the manufacturer you like best…..Not a Predator fan and have always thought the whole “LD” thing waa a gimmick marketed to marginal players in an attempt to sell hopium. Irrelevant of my thoughts, they certainly have an army of followers as those $800 break cues and jump cues and $400+ Revos seem to fly off the shelves. While it appears this cue was made from wood cut from the ugly tree, I'm quite sure it will sell to their fanboys like all of their other stuff does. Everyone has their something, there’s an ass for every seat.![]()
That is one gaudy piece of wood and... I can't count that high, but looks 'spensiv.'Let me start by saying that I'm a huge Predator fan. Been a 314 user for 25 years (on a custom). Love what they do for the sport. Some of their marketing could be a stretch (cloth, balls, chalk and tables) but oh well if it brings dollars to industry...I'm down. This morning I got this via email. Really 5K? Some of their products can be a little pricey but this thing I wouldn't put in my case for free. Say what you want about $800 break and jump cues that probably cost $75 all in but at least they perform. You get something for your R&D dollars. $30 chalk. It better be the best, Regardless of manufacturing cost. But this thing will not play any better than their sub $1000 cues and is the new pinnacle of ugly. They better grab some second year graphic artist because this almost Budweiser cue ugly. I bet you Johnny Archer is pissed.
Maybe it will sell in Asia. They must have at least 200 stupid people with money.

That's my meal ticket right there!!This is nothing compared to the ugly-ass oversized Hustlin' USA shirts that you see in every pool hall in America.
If money were no object I'd rather play with these cues than wear, say, this:

Pick pocket teams often worked banks with one inside the bank that would “mark” clothing of those that had just withdrawn cash with a piece of tailors chalk to alert their partners outside of potential victims or “marks” as they became known.This is nothing compared to the ugly-ass oversized Hustlin' USA shirts that you see in every pool hall in America.

I view the shirts you refer to here as a way that potential victims “mark” themselves for fleecing.![]()
