Which Predator Revo is Best for You - (Pool Lessons)

[@bigwin426]

I met Bryan at the Philly expo and he is a great guy. He was very approachable and he took time to talk to me. I can’t thank him enough for that experience and all the videos he puts out to help all us pool enthusiast. If you get the chance to meet him, please do. He is very friendly and really made me feel at ease.

[@FXBilliards]

Thank you very much for your kind words. Fxb will have a booth at the expo next year I’m looking forward to seeing you and all of the Subscribers we met.

[@billstoikos9775]

Love the videos, Brian. Keep them coming. One thing you just probably forgot to mention is the Black Vault Plate vs White.

Love my 30” 12.9 revo but I had to get rid of that Victory tip. Glazed over wayyyy too fast. Switched to the Kamui athlete and it’s about the best tip for a CF shaft I’ve found. Great content as always Brian, keep up the good work!

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks for watching

[@joncarr2547]

It was so easy of an adjustment from switching from wood.

[@matthewmcallister8845]

I like the 11.8 myself.

[@darktoster]

Do you adjust the weight in your cue butt forward/back? I left mine in the center for now but I also like my teammate's back weighted cue

[@FXBilliards]

I almost never adjust the weight because I play with 19 ounce which is the default weight for most high-end cues. But if I did adjust it, it would be in the back.

[@darktoster]

@@FXBilliards Thanks for answering! Yes, I meant if you would move the internal weights forward or backward within the butt. I also keep my cue at 19oz but I know the internal weights can be moved to adjust the balance of the cue.

[@SaltChannel1]

I play with both 11.8 and a 12.9 I am good with both but whenever I use a 12.4 I play absolute sheyt and can’t runout. Hahaha but I’m leaning towards a 11.8 as a main because I’m an. A plus player in the Philippines and I’m accurate with my cueball

[@FXBilliards]

That’s interesting that the 12.4 would give you an issue. You should do a double blind test and see if you can tell the difference when you don’t know for sure which one you have in your hand.

[@claytoole1986]

Hey Brian. I’m looking at getting the Revo break shaft. Would it be okay to throw it on a p3 butt to save from buying the bkrush full cue?

[@FXBilliards]

There are characteristics of the BK rush butt, that might improve your break. But you could put that shaft on her P3

[@Jason-rk3zv]

Love my 12.4

[@jefflink4671]

I have a opportunity to buy a "used" Becue Prime, either12mm or 12.5mm for 300.00 ea, uniloc joints, that would fit my Lucasi Or a Revo 12.4 5/16x18 that would fit my Purex for 400.00 Wanting to try carbon just because, beginner but determined to improve. What you think? Thank you.

[@FXBilliards]

Since I’m all predator all the time I would go with the Revo and that $400 shaft is going to hold his value much better in the long run.

[@wojtczak1984]

Is there a way to try out these cues and give back if you don't like it. Or do you have to purchase and just be stuck with it imor try and sell it if you don't like it. I am split between this revo or a cue tech. I have not been able to try either. I have never use MD carbon fiber shaft.

[@billmankin6204]

I know Ozone Billiards offers 30 day return to allow you to try a cue. They have always given me good service. Hard to find Predator equipment in stock to try out at a local billiard shop in some places, but I have been able to demo Cuetec equipment in a local shop, and markup wasn't significant. Plus they can usually do a tip swap for you on the spot or with short turnaround. Also, at major tournaments (APA or BCA) they often have vendors there that will let you try out equipment. Hope this helps.

[@FXBilliards]

I think it would differ from retail to retailer, but if you walked in a place and told them you wanted to take some shots with one I don’t think it would be a problem. The issue is once you chalk up a cue even one time it becomes used.

[@Soul_Freezer]

I believe Pooldawg has a return policy if you don’t like it.

[@darktoster]

the upside to the CF cues is their resale is very strong. You could buy one, play for a year, and get back 95% of your money. Trying them is tough, though, as Brian said they don't let you chalk them when you try out a cue unless they have floor models for testing. Basically means you don't get to test the LD properties as you'll miscue anything but a center ball hit

[@scottbacci8933]

where did you see revo shafts available for 30 inch?

[@FXBilliards]

Predator sells them on their site but they might be out of stock.

[@JamesJohnson-if8rz]

Hey, keep it up. What ever happened to your poker pro channel? I have really considered getting a torrified maple shaft. Just because I am against the gloves and carbon. Always keep a sack of hand chalk in my cue bag. The looks are priceless. Someone walks by and notices a fine dust all over the table😅😅😅

[@FXBilliards]

I still have the poker channel, but I had some other projects that took priority, so I haven’t made a lot of new post recently FXBilliards has a new MasterClass coming out in two weeks

[@JamesJohnson-if8rz]

@@FXBilliards looking forward to it!

[@juanvega2539]

Ey guys can I brake with my shaft.Bull 11.7 kamui soft.carbon fiber...???

[@FXBilliards]

You can break with anything you like.You might not get the best results. And you might lose a tip on the cue you wish to play with...but you can break with it. Soft 11.7mm is not the best option for breaking hard but a know a ton of "old school" pros who show up with one cue in their bag and break with their playing cue.

[@backyardbilliards101]

12.9 as well and it works great for me. Shouldn't really matter too much as long as you give yourself time to get adjusted. Bty call Lowe's kamu's screw on.😅😅😅😅

[@FXBilliards]

FUNNY CHUCK - You know some clown is going to put a screw in tip on his Revo and magically turn it into a $25 shaft LOL
