V-Tek Ferrule

Predator Cues proprietary formula allows Predator to create it’s own highly specific ferrule material. V-Tek Ferrules are not only stronger, but also lighter, reducing mass and increasing accuracy.

V-Tek Construction

Vault-Plate

The re-engineered front end construction incorporates the patent pending vault plate. The vault plate completely re-configures the stress points between the tip, tip silencer, ferrule, and splices to create a construction that is stronger from every axis with less mass and a higher level of kinetic energy transfer.

V-Tek Ferrule

Predator Cues proprietary formula allows Predator to create it’s own highly specific ferrule material. V-Tek Ferrules are not only stronger, but also lighter, reducing mass and increasing accuracy.

V-Tek Fiber Tip Silencing

Predator's proprietary blend creates a stronger and more tactile glueing surface, while creating an audibly pleasing sound upon contact with the ball.

iMatch Pairing

iMatch is Predator Cues patented process in which every single triangle is tested for density, mass, and stiffness for optimum pairing resulting in better shaft consistency and playability.

10-Piece North American Hard Maple

Hand selected and kiln dried, only the highest grade North American Maple goes into every Predator Shaft.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

WARPAGE – FINISH. Wood will soak up moisture in wet climates and release moisture in dry climates. To prevent warpage or finish problems, store your cue in an environment that has a stable and consistent temperature with a humidity level of 40 to 45 percent.

ABUSE. Cues made of wood are not designed to withstand lateral pressure and should not be leaned or propped up against a wall, dropped on the floor, bent excessively while playing, or hit on a table. We recommend protecting your cue with a case.

TIP DIAMETER. We do not recommend turning your shaft down. You can choose to turn your shaft, but any 3143 shafts turned below 12.25 mm, any Z3 shaft turned below 11.40 mm, and any Fat shaft turned below 12.70 mm will result in an automatic void of your warranty.

PHENOLIC TIP REPLACEMENT. If you want to replace your phenolic tip on your BK2/Bk3 break cue or your Air/Air2 jump cue, do not remove the black carbon fiber tip plate located under the brown phenolic tip as this will reduce the strength of your shaft and void the warranty. Leave .020″ of the brown phenolic before gluing on the replacement tip.

WOOD SHAFT MAINTENANCE. To clean your Predator shaft, use a towel slightly dampened with rubbing alcohol. After cleaning, use a leather burnisher or similar material to seal the shaft. Using a Carnuba wax may also help to seal the shaft and protect it from moisture. To avoid damage, do not sand the shaft; no abrasive is necessary. Do not expose the shaft to excessive moisture and do not steam it to remove dings. Importantly, do not use any water-based cleaner.

THE ORIGINAL UNI-LOC® JOINT. We recommend cleaning the Original Uni-Loc® Quick Release joint when you first receive your cue and every six months thereafter. These joints are precision manufactured to exact tolerances and even a modest amount of dirt can create a problem. You can use a Q-Tip dipped in Isopropyl alcohol to clean the inside threads and bore of the shaft insert. Clean the joint pin and threads with alcohol and a clean rag. We recommend the use of joint protectors to help keep your joint clean and to protect it from damage.

FERRULE. Much of the shaft’s performance can be attributed to our ferrule design and composition. Due to the performance-enhancing material used for the ferrule, scratches may appear with normal use. In this case, we recommend sending your shaft to an authorized Predator repair center for a cleanup. Removing or changing the ferrule will void the warranty.

TIP. The Everest® tip (2nd gen) Or Predator Victory Tips (3rd gen) comes standard on all Predator shafts. If a tip replacement is needed, we recommend a medium-hard tip. For the best results, we recommend that you send it to an authorized Predator repair center for the installation of a new tip.

IMPORTANT. For 3rd Gen Shafts be sure not to remove the V-Tek Fiber Tip Silencer (Tip Pad) when replacing the tip. Removal will void your Predator Shaft warranty.

WRAP CLEANING. For leather and Uni-Loc® Leather Luxe wraps, barely dampen a towel with water, wipe the wrap, and dry it immediately. Use Isopropyl alcohol for Irish Linen wraps.
