Predator Group is headquartered at 4901 Belfort Road in Jacksonville,
Florida, where the company has operated since founding the brand in 1994.
Predator built its early reputation on the 314-3 and Z-3 low-deflection maple
shafts, then introduced the REVO carbon fiber shaft in 2016, which the company
credits with changing how the sport thinks about deflection and consistency.
Predator's own marketing describes REVO as an aerospace-grade carbon fiber
composite shaft that cannot warp and states that more than half of the top-20
ranked professional players use Predator cues; its Pro Team page names current
and recent world champions including Joshua Filler and Carlo Biado among the
players it sponsors. That technology-and-sponsorship positioning is the core
of how Predator presents itself against other cue makers: a performance brand
built around its shaft engineering first and its cue lines second.
Quarter King's current Predator assortment runs to 123 listings. 52 are
complete pool cues across ten lines, organized under our
Predator Pool Cues
category. The other 71 round out the brand: 29 replacement shafts, a set of
break and jump cues, and a run of accessories including chalk, gloves, joint
protectors, cue extensions, a cue tip, pool table cloth, billiard balls, a cue
holder, and REVO cleaning wipes. Three additional 9K-series cue listings sit
outside the main cue shelf in our system, priced from about $800 to about
$1,100. Sixty-one of the 123 listings are in stock as of this writing, and
that availability skews heavily toward the non-cue side of the brand: 54 of
the 71 shaft and accessory listings are in stock, against 7 of 52 on the cue
shelf itself.
Predator organizes its current catalog by cue line and by shaft material,
and Quarter King carries products across both.
Our 52 Predator cues split into ten lines: the traditional Sneaky Pete and
entry-priced Aspire series, the Uni-Loc BLAK line, the limited-run True Splice
16, the exotic-wood Ikon4 collection, the modern Throne3 and P3 lines, the
REVO-equipped 9K series, the SP2 Palisander pair, and a single 10K-2 listing.
Where a current price is on file it spans about $330 up to about $2,230, though
BLAK, 9K, and SP2 currently carry no live price in our system. See the full
series breakdown, including which lines are in stock, on the
Predator Pool Cues
shelf.
Beyond the cues, Quarter King stocks 29 Predator replacement shafts. Most
are REVO carbon fiber shafts in 11.8mm, 12.4mm, or 12.9mm tip diameters, built
for Uni-Loc, Radial, and several other joint fittings, priced about $550 to
$570. The rest are Predator's 314 3rd Generation and Z wood shafts, priced
about $360. Nineteen of the 29 shafts are in stock as of this writing.
Quarter King also carries five Predator break cues (the BK4 and Black BK
Rush lines) from about $450 to $1,000, and four Air Rush jump cues from about
$590 to $660. Rounding out the brand: Arcadia pool table cloth in six sizes
from about $200 to $360, Predator's Crest and Pure chalk from about $20 to
$40, a Victory cue tip at $29, joint protectors at $10 to $20, cue extensions
from about $100 to $200, two ball products from $50 to about $420, a folding
cue holder at about $60, Second Skin bridge gloves at $29, and REVO cleaning wipes
from $1 to $29.
Predator's cues and shafts share a small set of proprietary systems across
the assortment, which is why the differences between individual products come
down mostly to material and finish rather than the underlying engineering.
Predator's own comparison of its shaft materials describes REVO carbon
fiber as its lowest-deflection, most climate-stable option, built from an
aerospace-grade composite with no wood core, immune to warping and requiring
minimal upkeep. Its 314-3 and Z wood shafts use a hard-spliced maple
construction the company calls V-Tek, built around a front-end design
Predator has patented under US9814963B2 to reduce mass at the tip, offering a
warmer traditional feel with more tip and taper choices but requiring the
conditioning and careful storage any wood shaft needs. Quarter King carries
both materials separately in our
shafts category. See our
glossary for more on deflection and shaft
construction terms.
Across our 52 Predator cues, 34 use the Uni-Loc
pin and 18 use the Radial pin, both
proprietary quick-release systems. Our REVO shafts are sold separately for
each fitting, including Uni-Loc, Radial, 5/16x18, 5/16x14, and 3/8x10, so a
replacement shaft has to match the joint already on the cue.
Among the 52 cues, 25 use a leather wrap, 14 use an Irish linen wrap, and
13 skip the wrap entirely for a wrapless forearm-to-butt design. Shaft size on
the cues that list one runs 12.75mm.
Because Quarter King's Predator range spans a $10 joint protector up to a
$2,230 flagship cue, it covers a wide span of buyers rather than one type of
player. The Aspire and Sneaky Pete lines suit a player stepping up from a
house cue who wants access to Predator's shaft options without paying
flagship prices. The 9K, Ikon4, Throne3, and P3 lines sit at the top of the
range and suit a player already committed to Predator's low-deflection
technology for a primary playing cue. A player who already owns a cue from
another maker but wants to try Predator's shaft engineering can start with a
REVO or 314-3 replacement shaft rather than buying a full new cue, and a
player who only needs a break or jump cue to pair with an existing playing
cue should look at the BK4, Black BK Rush, or Air Rush lines rather than a
full playing cue from one of the ten named series above. Players on
the AZBilliards forums are genuinely split on the brand: many credit Predator
with pioneering low-deflection shaft testing, note the near-zero deflection of
the REVO shaft, and point to Predator's roster of touring pros as proof the
engineering holds up under pressure, while others argue the brand's pricing
leans on its marketing budget and describe some entry-level components,
including the Aspire line's joint, as underwhelming for the money. That split
is worth knowing going in, since it means trying a specific model or shaft
before committing is more useful with Predator than with a brand where
opinion runs one direction.
Predator backs eligible cues, shafts, and extensions with a Limited
Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship,
covering the original purchaser for as long as they own the product. Tips,
ferrules, finishes, wraps, and bumpers are excluded as replaceable wear parts,
and general warpage is not covered on wood-shafted cues, though the REVO
carbon fiber shaft carries its own separate lifetime warranty against warpage.
Cue cases and billiard balls, where applicable, carry a one-year warranty
against defects rather than the lifetime term. Coverage is non-transferable,
applies to products bought through Predator's authorized retail network or
directly from Predator, and requires proof of the original purchase to start
a claim through Predator's contact form or by phone before shipping anything
back. A covered product is repaired or replaced at Predator's discretion. Shafts
built for Uni-Loc or Radial joints are only warranted when used with genuine
Uni-Loc or Radial hardware, so mixing an aftermarket joint with a Predator
shaft can void coverage.
Long-running AZBilliards threads on the REVO shaft return a consistent
technical picture: several posters report the shaft is difficult to ding or
scratch, with one describing it surviving repeated drops and even a run-in
with a ceiling fan without damage, and multiple threads confirm the near-zero
deflection Predator advertises, with some finding it lower than competing
low-deflection shafts. Opinion on feel is more divided. Some players say the
REVO delivers exactly as promised and grade it highly for finesse and control
at soft speeds, while others describe the hit as soft, muted, or dull compared
to a wood shaft and say they never adjusted to it despite trying.
On the cues themselves, forum sentiment splits along similar lines. Several
posters credit Predator as an early leader in low-deflection testing and note
that current and past world champions play the brand, and one long-time
skeptic wrote that after actually buying a Predator cue they understood why
players who own one tend to stick with it. Others push back hard on price,
arguing that Predator's cost reflects its marketing and sponsorship budget as
much as its materials, and several say they wouldn't pay four figures for a
Throne3 or Ikon-tier cue when other production cues hit just as well for
less. On the entry-level Aspire line specifically, posters have called the
cues underwhelming for the price and criticized the Mini-Radial joint, while
Sneaky Pete owners more often describe the line as a dependable daily-use cue
at a fair price. The recurring theme across these threads is that Predator's
technology claims hold up under scrutiny even from skeptical posters, but
whether the price is worth it comes down to personal feel more than with most
other brands, which is why trying a specific cue or shaft before buying is the
advice that comes up most often.
Yes. Alongside 52 Predator pool cues we stock 29 REVO and wood replacement shafts, break and jump cues, chalk, gloves, cloth, and other accessories.
Predator Group is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, and has built low-deflection pool cue shafts under the Predator name since 1994.
REVO is an aerospace-grade carbon fiber shaft with ultra-low deflection and a lifetime warranty against warpage. Predator's 314 and Z shafts are traditional spliced-maple wood shafts.
A Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects, excluding tips, ferrules, finishes, wraps, and bumpers. REVO shafts carry a separate lifetime warranty against warpage specifically.
Ten: Sneaky Pete, Aspire, BLAK, True Splice 16, Ikon4, Throne3, P3, 9K, SP2 Palisander, and a single 10K-2 listing.
