Sure, no problem. Every cue has its own properties, one of the main properties being how much energy it can actually transfer to the cueball. I wont go into deep detail, simply put the more stiffer the hit the better energy transfer - the more a cue vibrates after the hit of the cueball the less energy went actually into the cueball itself. In theory if you had perfectly stiff cue which would have no vibration at all then you would have found the cue with perfect energy transfer. In real world you either have LD shafts which flex a lot or you have standard wooden shaft which have amazing energy transfer but you have to compensate for deflection a lot. And then you have all the shafts between which try to find "the golden middle way".
Now there is Revo (carbon shaft) which has the best of both worlds - its super stiff (vibrates very little) yet it still deflects a lot when hitting the cueball with sidespin. How Predator managed to do that is beyond my knowledge, but its a fact that with Revo you can draw the cueball much easier (longer distances) than with maple LD shafts, I would say that only the stiff non-LD wooden shafts can draw the cueball like Revo can. Thats probably what that house cue OP mentioned is - stiff non-LD cue
Hope that helps
