Jeebus he said he assumed it was made there and was happy to be corrected. Revo fanboys need to settle down. It's been handled.
IMO, a major upside to the pred/revo is it's easily replaced. I would be devastated if one of my hand made cues was stolen. If I played with a factory cue like a predator, a newer, cleaner replacement would be on my doorstep in a matter of days.
You guys find ways to differentiate your cues from the others? My buddy bought one recently and brought it to league. One week later, two other guys had the EXACT same cue. Same color and everything. It's harder to sell a stolen custom but these revos seen like prime targets for thieves because they're all the same and in demand. Predator should serialize them or something. Do they?

Revo shafts have serial numbers on the cue itself. Becue and Cynergy do not. Not many people in my area have either of the 2 butts I have and my break butt is engraved. I personally really only shoot in a dive bar so I don't ever bring any of my customs there. Not that I'd be concerned with theft but scared shitless about damage.
There are quite a few revos where I play at so I wrote my shaft serial number down. Not too concerned about the butt because no one around has a blak 4-1 .
Sure you did already but you can register that # on predator website for the warranty to be valid.
who makes carbon composite cues?Carbon shaft cues do play different to wood ones. I prefer the carbon composite myself. For those who have never tried them before they are different. And if the right tip is on the carbon shaft that does make a real big difference. I find that most who are used to a wood cue, when switching to carbon, end up preferring a grade softer tip. So if they normally play with a medium, will play better with a medium soft to a soft tip. I have no idea as to why, but my testing has most often showed this result.
After quite a bit of contemplating I decided to join the dark side and ordered a revo 12.9 unlilok for a predator blak 4 I have had for several years. The reason I chose to get one is that I have decided to quit swapping out the dozen or so cues I have and just stick to one cue.
Two very good players at Blue Fin Billiards told me this past week they were switching back to maple shafts and abandoning CF shafts.
I used to until I started getting allegies to alot of the woods in cues. Thought at one stage I was having allergies to the epoxies etc. But I have an autoimmune disorder. When I get it under control will be making cues again.who makes carbon composite cues?

Me too man. Hypothyroidism.I used to until I started getting allegies to alot of the woods in cues. Thought at one stage I was having allergies to the epoxies etc. But I have an autoimmune disorder. When I get it under control will be making cues again.
Interesting. I started using a conversion Duff house cue and enjoy the feel of wood.I went back to my maple shafts and will not look back.
Will be selling the Revo soon.
