Predator shafts are built on technology that is so good they patented it!
Predators ferrule (Pat. 5725437) and internal bore (Pat. 6162128) reduce the shafts tendency to buckle on impact and allow the cue ball to push the shaft aside instead of the shaft pushing the cue ball off line. Simply put, Predators technology makes it easier to hit what you’re aiming at because it shoots straighter.
To read more about the Predator Shaft advantage look below the pictures and chart.

    SPIN

     

    Spin is indirectly related to cue ball deflection. The less deflection, the more spin. Predator produces more spin than any conventional cue, which makes it easier to draw, follow and move your cue ball around the table.

     

     

     

    FEEL

     

    The pure transfer of energy in a Predator produces less vibration and gives the player a solid and positive feedback.  And better feel leads to better control.

     

    CONSISTENCY

     

    Predator's unique 10 piece construction produces a straighter cue with a more consistent flex than any traditional one piece shaft.
