hi forums just ordered a predator sneaky Pete no wrap, radial joint with the Revo 12-9 shaft ,never played with a radial joint cue ,all my cues are 5/16-14 steel joint, hope I am going to like it.any feedback is welcome,thanks.
 
Well, when you get it you will find out if you like it, what other people like won't really have any affect on you. In my personal preference, I liked the hit of the radial Predator cues better than their unilock one but if you are swapping cues and shafts for different brands and models, there is absolutely no way anyone except you can guess if you will like it or not, especially if you have not tried that setup before. If you are just worried that you made a mistake, no way to know what you will like without trying it so can't really call that a mistake or wasted money especially if you don't have anyone in your area to try out the shaft from.

Asking after you ordered it? You'll find out as soon as you hit some balls. I really liked the 12.9Revo i test hit.

I enjoy shooting with my Predator SP the only difference is mine has the uniloc joint and a 314 2 shaft which I enjoy playing with even if others may not .
I'm looking forward to hearing more from you after you receive it and get to play a few racks with it for the money they're hard to beat .
 
Not knocking on the OP by any means as so many people I know way smarter than me do this. I am curious however, what is the mindset of asking for feedback on a decision you already made as opposed to just waiting to get the cue and making your own opinions?
 
I do not think these new SP4... and SP8 cues look as good as the previous generation SP4... and SP8... sneaky petes.

But it is good to see them back in the lineup.
 
I should probably clarify that my Predator SP I've had for a few year's now when I go to one of the local bars to practice I've had people think it was a bar cue and they wanted to barrow it to play with but I turn them down ha ha
 
In all honesty my SP may even be older I got it from a friend who had surgery and wasn't sure he could continue to play pool . It hits a ball very well and I feel I'd be hard pressed to find a cue that hits a ball better and no I'll never sell or trade it .

Yeah, it's tough to throw down several hundred dollars for something you don't know if you will like but it has to be done. I think a couple of places have a good return policy. They are in the mail order business so they have to accept that as part of the job.

Anxiety waiting on the cue. Wants confirmation that he made a good choice. Maybe set up an alternate plan in case he isn't happy with his purchase. I haven't asked questions about things I've ordered but I still wind up reading a lot of reviews while waiting. I suffer from the same impulse.

Hey, OP, I hope the cue works out well for you, let us know what you think.

Many minds are greater than one. I often consult the internet to tell me what to think.

Depends on what other type of shafts you are used to playing with along with what diameter you have experience with. Feed back is muted on the revo (vs wood) and the sound is a bit tingy vs other CF shafts on the market. With that said my radial revo'd sneaky is main player. Shot many racks with it. Solid cue and the CF is so easy to keep clean. The tip you will either love or hate. It mushrooms pretty quick if you whack balls with some force often but it holds chalk really well and putting English on the ball is really easy. We are sensitive creatures when it comes to our equipment so you'll see when you get it. If you have not played with LD it can take some getting used to. Took me a week or so to adjust but I also went down from 13mm maple to 12.4 on revo. Congrats on the purchase. I hope you enjoy it.

One thing I forgot to mention my sneaky (the 8 series with green points) the balance is very back heavy towards the butt. It makes it feel heavier in the hand to me.
