Predator: Still Dominating The Pool Industry

Predator pool cues have become extraordinarily popular in the last number of years. This is a global phenomenon, as a matter of fact, there isn’t a locale on this planet at this point where you can’t walk into a bar or billiard hall and find a player competing with a predator cue. If you asked most pro players which cue they prefer it’s quite likely that a few popular brands will get mentioned, and among them will be Predator.

The manufacturer of predator cue sticks has not only managed to somehow stay afloat during economically troubling times in the billiard manufacturing universe, but, indeed, managed to continue to flourish. It is very little talked about but an obvious truth that pool is no longer quite as popular as it was in the times in the past. Nintendo games, the web, and all types of other flashing and noisy technologies have entirely supplanted the large amount of time the average joe would spend every weekend in pool halls.

The father of a good friends of mine who happens to be a bit older said to me once: “You know what being really skilled at pocket billiards is a sign of, right?” No. What? “A wasted youth.” Needless to say he was very very good at playing pocket billiards, and this amused me to no end!

This quote really shows how the times have changed. Ask someone what a wasted youth amounts to today and you are likely to hear references to Microsoft’s XBox, Facebook, or any of the Nintendo consoles, but never pool. Then, how is it possible Predator has actually grown? The answer is this: that they have taken sections of the shrinking market that previously belonged to other pool cue brands.

Predator, the billiard manufacturer, not only makes outstanding cues, but Predator also produces a line of performance cue shafts. The most popular of these pool cue shafts are the Predator Z, and the Predator 314 shafts. These performance billiard cue shafts are used by league players around the entire planet to get an edge on their varied levels of competition. Both the Predator 314 and Z shaft are available not only for Predator pool sticks, but also for a wide variety of other popular brands of cues as well.
