4 Reasons to Buy Predator Pool Cues

Since 1992, Predator Cues has led the billiard industry in a technological revolution. Predator Cues believes that innovation is the name of the game. Behind every stronger break, higher jump, and straighter shot is painstaking research, countless redesigns, and relentless testing to make your game better.

Predator Cues will enhance your pool playing performance with their key technologies:

* 314 and Z Shaft 2nd Generation Technology- Patented ferrule (Patent 5725437) and patented internal bore (Patent 6162128) technology feature a lighter weight on the front end of the cue and a shorter ferrule. Making it easier for you to hit at what you're aiming for because Predator Cues shoot straighter.

* C4 Cue Butt Technology- Eliminates the need for threaded weight bolts that other less expensive cues use. The 4 piece splice makes Predator Cues stronger, straighter, and more stable over the long haul. Giving you a solid hit.

* State of the Art Components- Predator Cues begin with Phenolic encased Uni-Loc joints. Phenolic tips with carbon fiber pads on the Predator BK2 or Predator Sport Air cues for super hard strength when you need it. Leather Luxe wraps that absorb hand moisture in IKON Predator Cues. Uni-Loc Weight Cartridge System for unheard of precision in the Predator P3's. No expense has been spared. Only the best materials for the best for pool players world wide!

* Leaders in Radial Consistency- Iron Willie, a Predator Cue designed robot started Predator's drive to create the most perfect billiard shaft ever. Unequaled by any 1 piece shaft, Predator's unique 10 piece splicing construction eliminates grain directionality giving you that consistent flex. You can practice on your stroke knowing that your Predator cue will hit the same way every single time.

Predator Pool cues are accurate, consistent, solid and produce more spin than any conventional pool cue. Predator pool cues are super responsive and will take your pool game to the next level. It will take you about a week to adjust your play to these performance enhancing features, but then it will be so easy that you'll feel like your cheating. Pool Cue Guru has the largest Predator Cue selection on the web with the best prices. We also carry Predator accessories like joint protectors and cue cases.

Players Pool Cue Review: HydroGel HCS40

I have been playing with the Players HydroGel HCS40 Blue pool cue for a couple of weeks now. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much. The cue looks like it was designed to sell in Dick's Sporting Goods. You know, one of those big box chains, where the clerk couldn't tell you anything about pool, so they make the cue all flashy and price it low to attract a buyer.

Well I was surprised. This Players HydroGel cue is pretty cool.

I definitely saw reduced deflection and my shots were more accurate. The HX Low Deflection shaft has a lightweight proprietary absorbing core. The lighter tip is what reduced my unwanted spin therefore giving me more control.

The Players HydroGel HCS40 has a stainless steel 5/16 x 18 joint with a solid hit. Also, there’s the grip, or the HydroGel Contouring system, which is a silicone like substance encased in a molded rubber handle. That felt great when it conformed to my hand. Definitely different! This is not like playing with an Irish Linen wrap. The HCS system is supposed to reduce vibration and feel more responsive. I liked the touch however I couldn't tell how much vibration was reduced.

Overall it has performance features often found in way more expensive cues. If I was trying to master cue ball control with a low deflection shaft then I'd spring for the $151.99. The Players HydroGel HCS40 is a great start to learning how to use the high end technology cues that are popular with the pros like Predator cues or Lucasi Hybrid cues.

Were the 80's really cooler than we remembered?

I was shopping this weekend for a bathing suit. This is the best time of year..Spring. Everything starts over with fresh growth..ahh lovely! I have been watching the fashionistas predict the 80's comeback. UGGH! Rubber bracelets, mullets, big hair, rolled up jeans, docksiders with laces tied in a twirly knot...what could be great about that decade?

Then I saw several swimsuits which took the neon colors of the 80's, added new state of the art fabrics, and psuedo minimalists designs to make some hot looking suits. Wow! I was impressed. I bet custom cue makers could do the same. Billiard tips, wraps, finishes, butt caps, joints have all improved so much in 20 years. Let's take the best 80's looks in cues and design several new masterpieces.

Several manufacturers have created series that hint back to the Golden Age of Pool like Lucasi's Old School series or Predator's Roadline series, but they are missing that 80's mystique. The closest current cue I have found produced is the Viking G50 with the traditional points but mirrored inlays for $500. That is a sweet looking cue! The best place to view the cue is on their website http://www.vikingcue.com/ because they show you the rotation with the sunlight hitting the cue.

Of course, I can save you $100 off this cue when you shop http://www.poolcueguru.com/, and give you a free case. Or just shoot me an email to renee@poolcueguru.com, mention this blog post, and I'll call you for the details and send you a free gift. That simple. Or call and talk to my assistant Kelli @ 1-877-283-6253.

Let me get back to my original train of thought....send me photos of your favorite 80's cue. Tell me why you love it. I am going to take those photos to the next tradeshow, and get some new cues designed! Who knows... your favorite cue might be reincarnated as a Lucasi Hybrid or a Scorpion cue. Send those photos to poolcueguru@poolcueguru.com .
