Why do people like Predator cues?

Everyone has preferences and that's what keeps all of the cue builders in business.

That's it in a nutshell. I LOVE the USS but others I know have tried them and didn't like them one bit. To each their own.

Their break cue starts at $340.00, the playing cues start at closer to $500.00 don't they?

You can buy an American made custom for less than $500.00, now again I am not knocking Predator, it just amazes me that people pay this kind of money for an Asian production line cue.

I am also not knocking anyone for owning or buying one, if they hit the way you like who cares where they are made and what they cost, be happy!

There playing cues start at $340. http://www.billiardwarehouse.com/cues/predator/predator_spj_series.htm

There is a large amount of professionals that use their cues and/or shafts, so it shouldnt amaze you too much that they are popular among non professionals.

Everyone wants "American made", but nobody wants to pay for it. When I lived in Ohio, this seemed to be the popular mentality, but the same people shopped at WalMart. (Not saying this is you, Dawgie... just making a point.)

As far as Predator, they make a great product. Its a top of the line production cue and starting at $340, I dont think they are unreasonable.

I know what you're saying. Just for the record I do everything within my power to AVOID WAL-MART.

I know other people will complain about walmart and then go shop there. They do this and can FULLY afford to shop at other stores.

Just one man's opinion but I hate them. Feel hollow and they are always way too light for me. I have been using a Universal Smart Shaft for about 2 years now and God forbid the day I can't get another. Might need to stockpile them so I never have to worry about that.

Much praise goes out to Bill Stroud who invented them.

I am happy that you have found a shaft that you love to play with. But I would bet that Billy Stroud doesn't play with a Smart Shaft.

Amen to that statement!

I have predator shafts matched to my Mottey cue by Paul Mottey and I couldn't be happier with the way my cue plays.

Predator shafts have made me a much better player and if they are made out of the US I can't help that. I'm all for buying American products and I wish the shafts were still made in America.

You're probably right Bill, but I love it nonetheless.
