If he had a Predator he would have ran 626!!!
To each their own on Predator. I do respect the fact they make a very nice quality cue, and yeah it is made in China. So is the keyboard I am typing this on, the monitor I'm reading this on, the shoes on my feet, the iPhone in my pocket, etc etc. China is capable of making good quality goods, the USA is capable of making good quality goods. China is also capable of making crap stuff, and there are some things made in the USA that are crap.
I love made in the USA as much as the next guy, but when it comes to my hard earned dollar, I'll spend it where I can get the most for it. I play with a Predator P3, I love the cue, I've owned hundreds of cues in my life. Fifteen years ago I would have scoffed at a made in China cue, not anymore. As far as the retail price of them? No, I wouldn't have bought this cue for the $830 street price, but yeah, I did buy it used for significantly less, and I couldn't be happier (for now).
I never said anything about where it was made,oh and Mike Eufemia did in 1960,again not using a Predator cue!:wink:
