Broom cue vs. Predator II with 314
Posted by Geoff Arnold as Predator Pool Cue, meucci pool cues
Heres a video of many from Meucci who test the Black Dot shaft against other shafts.
Predator pool cues are the manufacturers of one of the most popular shafts in billiards today. The Predator 314 shaft is the choice shaft of numerous professionals. The Predator 314 shaft dramatically reduces cue ball deflection which helps less experienced and professional players alike. Predator’s patented ferrule and internal bore reduce the shaft’s 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, Predator pool cues and shafts make pool easier by helping you shoot straighter.

This is a piece of garbage video. Anyone who knows anything about cue shaft deflection and cue ball squirt will know that this demonstration is for those who don’t have a clue.

It has nothing to do with the path of the struck object ball, that is why he (Bob Meucci) did it this way. Predator Shafts will apply more spin with the same tip position so the cue ball will have more rotational KE at impact with the OB. All Mr. Meucci would have to do is spritz a bit of moisture on the OB when he used the broom and the CB will not hold the OB as long during contact, making his false test believable.
Trust me! I have …
Trust me! I have tested Meucci, Cue-Tec’s, and yes broom sticks many times during 1000+ classes. They all are garbage compared to a PREDATOR of any generation!! The “Oyster”, Academy of the Cueing Arts Professional Master Instructor

which offers something like 55% less deflection than the 314/2 series which is even better than the standard 314 by more than 10% (don’t remember the exact percentages) I will stand by predator, pound for pound i dont think there’s a person in the world that would say there’s a shaft in this world better than the z2!!!!

my brother uses a meucci power piston with a red-dot shaft. after palying for years with house cues, i finally decided to get a cue. i’d played with his cue for months and then a very good friend lent me his lucassi with a z-2. night and day my friends, night and day. my cue is coming soon, it’s a predator sp8rj-z2 i can’t wait.
the one that …
the one that produces less deflection could be the z2, however, THE BEST is what fit perfectly in your hans and in your sight. cue 30% and player 70%. Remember efren reyes became popular while playing with a $15 cue

Thanks for not making me feel like i’ve wasted money with my Z2!! I really do love my cue and it’ll be a shame if someone with experience didn’t concur with me!
This is the EXACT …
This is the EXACT cue I use. I upgraded it to a sniper tip, The FIRST day I got it I ran 4 tables before my opponent got a shot. My Cue gets A LOT of attention! Last Week I played in Vegas in the annual amateur competition and finished 33rd out of more than 600 in my division! I Loveeeeeeee this Cue!

Nice!! I love my Viking butt and the predator shaft made a bigger diff than I thought it would. when I play a heavy draw my viking shaft used to have a slight shudder on the hit but the predator absorbs it perfectly. We also make cues and have a new shaft design in testing. 9 pie design with a 3/16 phenolic resin rod core from tip to joint to transfer the “feel”. so far so good. Play on Friend!

Predator 4K5 with Z^2, Predator BK2 and a Predator air for me! Hit ‘em good.
Thank you…;)

Thank you…;)
This one is so far off base tho I’m surprised any real player doesn’t see thru it instantly. Any slight spin on the cue ball or any misplacment of the object ball will skew results, this is just a dumb setup. BTW I play a Viking F65 with a 314 2nd gen and I LOVE it. Take care!
Well played…Well …
Well played…Well played
At least they’re …
At least they’re using a somewhat reliable test machine similar to Iron Willy. These goofs are completely off base with this setup, I could probably make just using the broom with no shaft at all look better than anything sold if I tried hard enough with this setup. Waste of time and space.
This video is a complete bullshit. Bob Meucci is making a big mistake by joining a Low Deflection shaft competition in the market. Red and Black Dot shaft are nowhere near Predator Z2, OB1, Mezz HybridProI&II, Mezz WD700, and etc. I would not say that Meucci’s shaft are not good. They have their own advantages. Red Dot is known for its great ability to flex due to its wimpiness making the shaft able to generate a distinguish kind of spin on the cue ball.This is also the reason why Red Dot has high deflection. Black Dot works similarly, however, because of the 35 layered construction, it is somehow stiffer, hence a little less deflection than the Red. Nonetheless, both shafts play wonderfully. Most beginner player would not fancy these shaft due high level of adjustment to the game, however, the longer you play, the longer you will understand why these shafts are great shafts to play with. Unlike the dead Predator shaft, Meucci shafts are very alive
