PREDATOR Air Rush - The REVIEW

[@ronthepoolstudent]

Great review Sir! I just bought mine a week ago. A friend shared your video with me (just today) as he’s thinking of purchasing a better jump cue. We are meeting up so he can try mine so he can decide which brand cue to go with. As for this cue and me, it’s amazing how easily the cue ball takes flight. I love my new jump cue by predator. My old one was a Rage break/jump and there’s absolutely no comparison. Thanks again for the review. 👍🏻

[@KarlBoyesPoolLife]

Thank you Ron and yes it jumps real easy glad you like it 💪🏻

[@jeffreystricko7656]

Great job as always Karl, keep up the good work. Ps. I hope that you receive a little something from these companies for reviewing their products , because you are helping them achieve their goals.

[@KarlBoyesPoolLife]

Well it’s not my goal it’s more trying to build my channel for sure and giving some help to pool players 💪🏻

[@derekdeese6130]

Great to have an UNSPONSORED professional opinion ✊

[@HendrikPiepke]

comparison to the Cuetec Propel? You had both, right?

[@ChickenBoo1989]

I have the cuetec propel myself but i have had a decent try with the air rush that my friend owns. Between the 2 I found the propel better for me and suits my needs.

[@MagicMikeBilliards]

@hendrik piepke I had the propel for about 10 months and have hit with the air rush and I think the Airush is front weighted better, jumps just as effortlessly if not better, much more control especially full table stop shots, it’s a bit longer which helps with accuracy in some cases, plus it has changeable weight bolts so you can fit it to your needs. I’ve sold my propel and will be getting the AirRush this week period. I think it’s superior

[@KarlBoyesPoolLife]

Maybe I can do a comparison video in the near future 😊

[@VetteWay2Fast]

What’s the difference between the predator jump and break carbon shafts on the air and bk rush? Are they different and could they be used as a break or jump respectively?

[@dallasdoucette7270]

From what I can find it is the same shaft on both cues

[@f1k199]

The becue jump would be nice comparison. And your thought on carbon fiber benefits for break and jump cues. You see alot of pros who dont like carbon fiber because of lack od feel for their playing cue but their break and jumps sre usually carbon fiber.

[@poormanintexas]

[@jeffreystanley4006]

I have the predator air 2, recently got to hit some balls with the air rush. The air 2 is a fantastic jump cue, however the air rush is even more effortless to use. The length is positive note, making it feel more comfortable and accurate in my opinion. I ordered mine yesterday and should have it by the end of the week. Thanks for the video Karl Boyes.

[@KarlBoyesPoolLife]

Agree Jeffrey the length is the winner in this jump stick

@@dangoldenberg704 Even with short jumps, (2 balls - 1/2 a ball width between CB and Blocking Ball) I believe they both get over the ball effortlessly but the AirRush gets over it a little bit easier.

Nice review Karl. Always looking forward to watching your youtube vids. Just wondering about the segmented cue butt though. I suppose a player can just hold a one piece butt higher up or lower down? Or perhaps it's got to do with the balance of the cue.

I know this video is a little older... but I'm thinking about this or the Cuetec Propel. I've heard great things about both... but it's hard to find people who've tried both. You've reviewed both... hate to put you in a situation where you'd have to side with a particular brand, BUT (🤣), did you notice 1 performed significantly better than the other? Or did you notice a value in the predator that justified the $150 price difference. Hit with the air rush for the 1st time last night... it jumps way easier than my Jacoby jumper.

which is better at "ease" of jumping? I feel like the propel is almost effortless. maybe it's the taom tip on it? I'm not a naturally good jumper, and the cuetec felt easier, whereas out of the box, the air rush felt like it "miscued" too easily. I will practice more with both to see if it's just me. By the way, your work with Matchroom, Emily, and the players is really encouraging for pool and highly appreciated. I'd love to see pool become a mainstream sport.

Watching Karl’s technique has helped me with short range jumps with my original Predator Air.

if you are skilled at jumping you can pot any shot and play with top screw side any combination plus pot the ball and play position very consistently, if you are skilled in kicking its still luck if you pot and most skilled kickers try and just hit the correct side of ball to get safe anyways … you are correct at amateur level though …
