March 25, 2026
Why Predator Dominates the Pool Cue Industry
If you’ve spent any time in a pool hall, tournament room, or online forum in the last decade, one name comes up more than any other: Predator. From their revolutionary low-deflection shafts to their sleek, performance-driven cue designs, Predator has earned its reputation as the go-to brand for serious players at every level.
In 2026, Predator’s lineup is broader than ever — spanning entry-level performance cues to ultra-premium collector pieces. Whether you’re upgrading from a house cue or adding a new weapon to your rotation, this guide breaks down every current Predator series so you can find the right fit for your game and your budget.
The Predator BLAK Series: Premium Performance Meets Stealth Design
The Predator BLAK Series represents the pinnacle of Predator’s playing cue lineup. These cues feature a sleek, murdered-out aesthetic with subtle design elements that let the craftsmanship speak for itself.
Each BLAK series cue ships with Predator’s flagship REVO shaft, widely considered the best carbon fiber shaft on the market. The butt construction uses premium woods with a proprietary core designed for maximum feedback and minimal vibration.
Who it’s for: Tournament players, serious competitors, and anyone who wants top-shelf performance with a clean, modern look.
Price range: Starting around $1,195

The Predator Throne Series: Where Art Meets Accuracy
The Predator Throne Series sits in a sweet spot between Predator’s mid-range and premium tiers. These cues feature ornate inlay work, exotic wood forearms, and the same precision engineering that defines the brand.
At around $549, the Throne line delivers Predator build quality and performance without requiring a four-figure investment. These cues pair beautifully with any Predator shaft upgrade — whether you’re running a 314 or stepping up to the REVO.
Who it’s for: Intermediate to advanced players who want Predator quality with more visual flair at a mid-range price.
Price range: Starting around $549

The Predator P3 Series: The Workhorse of the Predator Lineup
The Predator P3 is arguably the most popular playing cue in Predator’s current catalog. Its clean, minimalist design puts the focus squarely on performance. Available in multiple wrap options — including no wrap, Irish linen, and leather luxe — the P3 lets you customize your grip preference without compromising on engineering.
The P3 comes standard with Predator’s Uni-Loc joint system for quick shaft swaps, making it an ideal platform if you rotate between different shafts for practice and competition.
Who it’s for: Players at any level who want a versatile, no-nonsense performance cue. A favorite among league players and tournament competitors.
Price range: $640 – $1,329 depending on shaft and wrap configuration

The Predator BK Rush Break Cue: Engineered to Shatter Racks
Every serious player needs a dedicated break cue, and the Predator BK Rush is the gold standard. Using a carbon fiber construction that delivers explosive power with a surprisingly soft hit, the BK Rush has become the break cue of choice for professionals worldwide.
The 2026 lineup includes the White Rush variants — available in both wrap and no-wrap configurations — offering the same devastating break performance with a fresh, clean colorway.
Who it’s for: Any player who takes their break seriously. If you’re still breaking with your playing cue, upgrading to a BK Rush is one of the biggest improvements you can make.
Price range: $799 – $849

Predator Arcadia Cloth: Don’t Forget the Table

Price range: $200 (7ft) – $360 (9ft Reserve)
How to Choose the Right Predator Cue for Your Game
