When I bought my first Predator break cue about 3 years ago from Predator there was a problem with the tip. I brought the cue to Valley Forge and Predator had someone change it for me. No charge. The tip had a clicking sound. I was told the tip was loose. This year I bought a Predator Break 2 at Valley Forge. Not from Predator, but an independent dealer. When I got home I found this tip was loose with a clicking sound. I called the dealer and he said Predator would not give him a new tip for me to have installed. I called Predator. They said they would not give me a tip, but instead I should just send them the shaft. This was at my expense, packing and shipping. When the post office notified me of delivery confirmation I contacted Predator. They lost the shaft. They send me a new one. Guess what? This one clicks also.
Does anyone know what type of tip they use? I don't want to deal with them anymore. I own two other Predator sticks, and use a Predator shaft on another cue. I use moori tips on my playing cues, but I would like to use the type of tip they provide with the break cue. I like their products, but their quality control is a bit weak.
 
Unlike the old BK that had a leather tip, the BK-2 has a phenolic tip and that click is it's sound, you just need to get used to it.

BTW I have to say that I've owned lots of break cues and the BK-2 is the best I've had so far.
 
I also own a BK-2 and the click sound you're hearing is normal. Don't sweat it, the tip isn't loose.
 
Phenolic tips do sound like they are loose. I took the tip off of my BK2 and put on a Moori hard. It breaks really well now.

I have one also. What's the purpose of phenolic other than power? Best for control??? (not so sure)
 
I also own a BK2 and the sound is normal. I owned a fury before and the clicking sound there was a lot more. So i love my BK2, breaking is much easier with it (More controlled)
