The next Carbon shaft from Predator

[fish2]

The Revo is around 9 years old, any news if Predator will be releasing a new shaft?

We all will learn when they release one Their only new 'CF' shaft is the Centro wood shaft with a carbon core. I can't picture anything new as far as a all-cf shaft coming out. What would you expect one to be?

lower CB deflection....

lower CB deflection....

How much lower do you want it to be? Everything has some harmonic resonance. No matter what you use you will always have some deflection/vibration.

And if or whenever they release a V2. It would probably have a different taper or sizes or have something to make the weight adjustable or balance adjustable.

Not one cue maker has built V2 on a CF shaft.

Jacoby is on V4, there is differences in theirs. I agree weight adjustability for balance would be good and easily doable.

how is that gonna happen? the 12.4 and 11.5 are super low-def as it is. only way that MIGHT happen would involve making the shaft so light that it would be unplayable as far as balance is concerned. i'm not big on shafts with adjustable/removable ANYTHING, too many ways to get rattles. Not worth the effort.

Some co's have gone from flag-wrapped to filament and/or changed the finish. As far as basic construction cf shafts haven't changed much since they came out. No need to really. Only so many ways to make a cf tube.
