REVO Carbon Fiber Shaft Performance

The REVO Carbon Pool Shaft option represents cutting-edge composite technology for players seeking maximum consistency and reduced deflection. Carbon fiber construction offers superior stability and responsiveness compared to traditional maple alternatives.

REVO shaft variants accommodate different playing preferences with shaft diameters of 11.8mm, 12.4mm, or 12.9mm. This range ensures compatibility with your preferred cue weight and playing technique. The carbon composite construction minimizes warping and provides reliable performance across varied conditions.

Players choosing carbon technology benefit from enhanced accuracy on long-distance shots and improved cue ball control during draw, follow, and English strokes.

Alternative Shaft Options for Every Playing Style

Beyond the REVO Carbon option, the Predator SP2 Red Metallic 1 accommodates multiple shaft selections:

• Centro Hybrid Pool Shaft: 12.4mm diameter, blending modern and traditional construction
• 314-3 Spliced Maple Pool Shaft: 12.75mm diameter, classic maple construction for traditional feel
• Z-3 Spliced Maple Pool Shaft: 11.85mm diameter, premium spliced maple for nuanced control
• Vantage Spliced Maple Pool Shaft: 12.9mm diameter, thick diameter option for maximum stability

Each shaft option pairs with the red metallic butt to create a cohesive, balanced playing instrument. Whether you prioritize carbon technology’s consistency or spliced maple’s traditional feedback, the SP2 Red Metallic 1 delivers your choice without compromise.

Uni-Loc Quick-Release Joint System

The Uni-Loc Quick-Release Joint represents precision engineering at the connection point between butt and shaft. This system provides:

• Secure alignment without wobbling or movement during play
• Quick separation for convenient transport and storage
• Consistent performance across multiple disassembly and reassembly cycles
• Compatibility with all available shaft options on this cue

Premium joint technology ensures that every connection maintains the integrity and feel you expect from a Predator cue, shot after shot.

Tip Selection for Precision Control

Your tip choice directly impacts spin potential, impact feel, and cue ball control. The Predator SP2 Red Metallic 1 accommodates both Predator and third-party premium tips:

Predator Victory Tip Series: Hard, Medium, and Soft options offering varying levels of cue ball response and English holding capacity.

Kamui Black Tip Series: Hard, Medium, Soft, and Super Soft variants providing alternative feel profiles for maximum spin generation and precision accuracy.

Selecting your tip hardness determines how the cue reacts to spin strokes, draw, and follow through. Softer tips excel at holding English during complex shot sequences, while harder tips reduce miscues during power-stroke situations.

Weight Customization for Your Playing Style

Available weights span 18.5 oz through 20 oz, accommodating preferences from swift, responsive play to heavier, more powerful strokes. Weight selection influences:

• Swing speed and acceleration
• Overall cue balance and feel
• Force delivery during break shots
• Comfort during extended playing sessions

Lighter weights (18.5 oz, 19 oz) suit players favoring rapid stroke delivery and responsive feedback. Standard weights (19.5 oz, 20 oz) appeal to players seeking balanced performance across all shot types.

Design: Red Metallic Finish and Professional Aesthetics

The red metallic finish distinguishes this SP2 series cue while the matte black forearm provides visual contrast and practical non-glare performance during play. This color combination reflects Predator’s commitment to merging aesthetics with functional design.

The Leather Luxe Wrap enhances grip security and comfort, particularly during extended practice sessions or competitive play.
