Nothing against their cues, but if I'm going to spend that much coin, it'll be local with a cuemaker I know and trust.

Not at all the same price... how much do you think a cue like that will cost with a local cue maker? https://jflowerscues.com/product/jf20-23/
Jesus and how much do you think it costs to make that pair of shoes on your feet or shirt on your back or the food you had at a restaurant or just about anything you own in comparison to what you paid. You’re not being ripped off. theres more to it then just the initial cost of product and A company has to make a profit.
This is one of the things I like better about golf. No one wines about prices. If you want to buy a cheap $100 driver buy it.. if you want to buy a $600 Taylor made driver.. buy it. They both can exist for different people.
Also I would expect a v2 at some point as well. Predator reminds me of golf club companies and what they do to keep market share. You have to constantly have new products. I believe it was an interview with The callaway ceo that I watched that said if they didn’t come out with new clubs every year they would lose close to 60% of their market share. Thats just how people are. If they are buying new clubs this years new club must be better then last years club right ? Lol

I'm going to get a shaft but I was hoping to find a decent looking wood butt but can't find one that's not a sneaky pete locally.
So when I saw this I thought maybe just buy the whole cue. The 3/8-8 joint has me wondering what other butt this would fit if I ever find one. Anyone know? I also wondered about the design and how it was applied and how durable it was, so I asked them and this is their response. "
Our Retrô cue butt is a composite material with exclusive premium printing technology.
As for our finished paint, it depends on many objective factors of the user and how the player preserves the cue.
Our current and previous cues products still receive a lot of good feedback about the paint finish and have a certain durability that makes customers satisfied." Anyone have one of their butts and have issues with the finish?

3/8-8 is a radial joint. They recently change the names of their Uniloc and Radial joints, I assume because of some kind of trademark thing.
I doubt you'll have to wait long, they'd be crazy not to come out with one. I can't believe they haven't already.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Someone posted a link on the forum with a test they were doing on their facebook page. It was an all cf 3 piece. I'd like to get one, just for the longer section as it comes in handy sometimes.
by screens you mean they're dipped? is there any difference in quality of the fake wood?
Looks like it wasn’t mentioned, so I’ll point out the CF shafts were finally on sale again yesterday. 179 plus another 5% off for signing up online for the first time. I bought a shaft and glove for 211 after tax and shipping (shipping approximately 23).
I could have worded that better.
Printed. They have a process that prints the entire butt w whatever wood grain you prefer, then wrapped or not, depending on the order.
gotcha. the grain print looks identical on all versions of each wood type.
at least the snakewood won't crack
Not a lot of fancy finish on a P3. I think their using real wood.
Yes, I see they use 30 pieces of wood laminated together , but what do they use for the color and finishing ?
most builders aren't going to release that info. most mid-low end asian stuff is all decals. screen printing and dipping have become common in last few years too. no clue how pred paints/finishes their cues.
