I've seen lots of fake Predator cues coming out of China... shafts all have the 314-2 logo and cat on them, some are spliced, most are not. Basically just junk cues that are stamped with logos and sold at a premium.

Check this out, you can even get a P6?! for 147 bucks!

Wow, at that price, who cares if "Predator" is spelled wrong!

Funny part is, it may be out of the same factory the real Predator cues come from :D;)

That's some funny stuff right there, I'll look around the site and see if I can get some Goochie shoes and a Rollex while I'm at it

For the likely quality of this cue, 147 bucks is highway robbery. It's bound to be God awful. But then again it is labelled as a billiards club:rolleyes:, so maybe it will do that job better. Also there is something about "ball bucket suit", those automatic translations fail miserably sometimes.

I doubt it. Contract manufacturers are pretty scrupulous about not knocking off their own customer; it's just not in their own best interest. More likely it's an "inside job" where an employee stole a couple thousand labels and sold them to another manufacturer.

I know, was just teasing Predator a bit for being made overseas.

Although the shafts in these knock-offs look horrible, the finish and logos on the butt look nicely done, and the spelling of the logo is just funny. Wonder what other spellings they tried before using that one? Preadortor, Prdator, Priadator, Prydortor...
