Build Quality:
One of the first things you’ll notice when you look at this cue is that it has no wrap. It’s this lack of wrap that really highlights the beautiful curly maple wood used in the handle. Since the cue has no wrap, it actually holds to your hand quite nicely so even if your hands are a little sweaty, you’ll still stick to the cue really well.
The cue also has 6 beautiful elongated points featuring orange veneer. This really makes the cue “pop” in the forearm and will absolutely get some complements when you go out playing with it.
This cue comes standard with a 314² shaft, which is a 12.75mm shaft with a pro taper. A Z² shaft, which is 11.75mm, is also available if you prefer a narrower shaft. The tip is a laminated Everest Tip which is standard for just about every Predator shaft.
How It Actually Plays:
- 314² Shaft(12.75mm)
- Hitting the ball with slow speed, the ball hit the far rail at about 1″, maybe 1 1/4″ inch.
- Hitting the ball with medium speed, the ball hit the far rail at the 2″ mark.
- Hitting the ball with a firm speed, the ball hit the far rail at the 3″ mark.
- Z² Shaft(11.75mm)
- Hitting the ball with slow speed, the ball hit the far rail a little under the 1″ mark.
- Hitting the ball with medium speed, the ball hit the far rail just a little over the 1″ mark but less than 2″.
- Hitting the ball with firm speed, the ball hit the far rail right around 2.5″ mark.
Final Thoughts:
I love this cue. At first glance, it could pass for a house cue but when closer inspection is given, it’s really a beautifully designed cue. Play-wise, it’s suitable for both beginners and advanced players. It’s an Entry Level cue for the Predator line. You really can’t go wrong with this cue.

I bought an 18oz, and I really dig it. I been playing with a $100 McDermott which was fine but I had a better idea of cue preference in recent times. Great product and I’d say this is a great intermediate to high skilled player’s cue. Worth every penny!
