Detailed description of the Predator Revo and BeCue Prime M carbon fiber shafts

[@BecueOfficial]

Becue Official no problem you make a great product I believe you’re ahead of some of these more popular brands, of course these things are like cars everybody likes different things

[@tylerbarnard5428]

My biggest set back with buying the Becue is the clear pad. I wish there was a white pad or ferrule. One that is a little thicker than Predator's vault plate. Everyone says you can't see it down on the shot. I want to see it. But other than the clear pad, the Becue sounds like the best option. I love the mat finish!

[@GudoPoolTv]

Can u do a comparison test which can draw easier a 12.9mm carbon fiber shaft, a 12.5mm, 12.4mm or 11.8mm carbon fiber shaft

[@bertraminc9412]

Just off the phone with predator. The revo shaft will be available in standard shaft joint mid next hear. Until then, you can custom order your specific joint even in the 12.4 using a custom order form from them via email for a +100 dollar 90 day turn around time order.

I just bought the becue and sold it right away .. It was a little quieter of a shaft..But it played way too soft even when I put it hard tip on it..The Revo shaft just plays better..I think the big clear pad under the tip was what was making the prime shaft feel so soft .. Please let me know what you think of the Cue tech carbon fiber shaft.. thank u

[@RobbyM32CREW]

Steve Vranas I agree it hits extremely soft, I would like to try a harder tip, I played with the BeCue all weekend in 3 tournaments and had the best weekend I’ve had in a long time... it’s not the shaft that did it but it performed just as well as the revo... It depends which butt it’s on as to how soft it feels for me, the aluminum pin feels like a revo, brass pin made it feel completely dead

[@Gr1mTh3R34p3r]

@@RobbyM32CREW maybe the brass has swelled a tiny bit not sure but i would love to own either shaft

[@monarchlifestyle6299]

How do you like the 12.9 revo

[@tonyruiz347]

So I just bought a predator P3 with the 314 shaft and I can't play with it. Any advise? When I switch over to a house action 1 piece cue with a 13mm tip, I am so much better seeing my shots. Could that be the tip size, LD, or maybe shaft color? Seems to me that light color shafts blend with the light but that could be me. That's why I am considering a black Revo with the 12.9mm tip.

[@iimiboy]

Your used to the high deflection of old 1 piece maple, you have to compensate way way less with the predator shafts

[@jkane]

My revo has absolutely no glare.

[@RobbyM32CREW]

James I would like to see that as proof because they all do

[@familiamelendresfigueroa1653]

Hola amigo, me gustó tu vídeo. Te escribo desde Medellín Colombia que sabes acerca de la marca Tiger. Espero una comparación con los ejes de fibra de carbono de Tiger con otras marcas ya que tengo un taco de esa marca y estoy Interesado en adquirir ese eje. Saludos y gracias...

[@kylekratzer3490]

Did you get the cuetec shaft yet?

[@RobbyM32CREW]

Kyle Kratzer still waiting for my dealer to get them... the dealer shipment was short on shafts from warehouse

[@kylekratzer3490]

@@RobbyM32CREW okay,if you find that you dislike cuetec shaft,ill gladly buy it from you

[@CFCseventy]

You will get better because you will keep going thank you for review

[@robinrenox3372]

Why don't you show you hitting any balls with the different shafts, like the sound it makes as the cue strike's the cue ball? That's what I'm curious about the sounds they make

[@RobbyM32CREW]

Robin Renox you really can’t tell a difference in sound with a cell phone video camera... and my webcam picks up too much background noise to be able to do it in my basement

[@SamuL147]

Super soft...never ever. Medium or max soft

[@wilhelmbott3426]

can you make a deflection Test with the BeCue and the revo please?

[@RobbyM32CREW]

Wilhelm Bott I can try to make a deflection video for everyone but I have a 7’ table so there’s less room to show the discrepancies, I’ll have to mount a camera above and do some slow motion video... from what I have done though with the naked eye I can’t tell a difference between revo or BeCue... when the cuetec shows up I will do a deflection test, factory tips on all shafts just to see what’s better

[@wilhelmbott3426]

@@RobbyM32CREW I'm glad, thank you

[@bertraminc9412]

You can’t buy the revo for a standard joint anyway. Predator only makes the radial and similar joint. They are killing their own profit by refusing to make standard joints!

[@RobbyM32CREW]

bertraminc you can order the revo in any pin you want... Mezz is the only company limited right now

[@VirtueEST]

Not the 12.4 revo. I’m pissed only the 12.9 revo has a 3/8x10 joint.

[@bertraminc9412]

Robby Standard joints are 5/16-14. You can’t get the predator in this joint in either the 12.4 or the 12.9.

[@RobbyM32CREW]

bertraminc seyberts has them in stock in the United States.. I don’t know why you think 5/16-14 is standard since there’s no standard in the industry and radial is the most popular joint type... but call me a liar if you want seyberts site shows them in stock and predator released you can order them almost a year ago

[@tlinjr]

The brass pin is more susceptible to heat expansion which is why it fit tighter. Cool it down with compressed air and it will fit a little looser.

[@RobbyM32CREW]

Thomas Lin I understand the concept of metal expansion but it does not help, the tolerance on the brass pin was slightly larger diameter than the other pins, sold the butt, no longer an issue

[@derricksakai1]

I have the original becue 5.1 and prime shafts and they don't really seem straight when rolled on a table. Does the Prime M roll true?

[@RobbyM32CREW]

Derrick S guess I never rolled it I mean what part isn’t true? All shafts are prone to a small taper roll

[@derricksakai1]

@@RobbyM32CREW It's noticeable at the tip where there's none on my Revo. Try it, wouldn't you like to know too?

[@RobbyM32CREW]

Derrick S if you would really like to be pissed off your revo might roll straight but I bet it’s heavier on one side if you roll it on a glass table...all 5 of mine are... but my ‘M’ rolls straight

[@scottmacdonald5592]

I put a Ulrraskin HH tip on a revo 12.9 for my buddy and first thought it would be a bad choice because the tip is super hard and the revo is so rigid. Well I had to bite my tongue after the shaft was done. The revo played so damn good i couldnt believe it. I would never put a soft tip ever again after this eye opener.

[@RobbyM32CREW]

scott MacDonald yea I’m going to put a harder tip on the BeCue it’s way too soft
