The Ikon series has the same C4 construction as the 5k and Blak. In essence, the should play the same
The cue that I would pick isn't exactly a Predator, it is a cue from Pechauer called the "Custom 314". It is a cue that a large billiard supply company distributes that has a 314-2 as the standard shaft fitted to the Pechauer 2009 JP butts. This cue is listed in both their Predator product line and also their Pechauer product line, so this is why I even mention it in this thread. It has better performance (hit / accuracy) than any other "all Predator" that I've tried, including my older favorite Predator, the 4K3. I think the combination of the new 314-2 shaft with the Pechauer 2009 JP butt with their speed joint really makes for a very good cue. For the record I've hit the 4K's, 5K's, Sneaky Pete's, the Hoppe limited edition, the Longini limiteds, the P2 and P3. I have not hit the "Quiet Roller" (w/ radial pin) as yet.
I love my 4K3, with both original Z and 314 shaft's. I have been offered what I paid for it when I purchased it new, and have turned it down flat. It is a production cue, yes, but I have tried a few customs, plus other production cues, and I still prefer my 4K3.
I have had and played with many predator cues and own 3 P2's (Golden Leapord and Charcoal) 2 SE's and a 5K I love the P2's hit even with the original 314 shafts....but everyone is diffrent!
Thats something i will agree on. I was able to hit with my friends P2 a couple of weeks ago and it was the absolute worst hitting cue i've ever tried.
