Due to popular request, we wanted to give you our recent review of the always-popular Predator Ikon1 Pool Cue.

If you’ve been playing pool for any length of time, you already know that Predator cues are world-renown for their quality and level of control that their C4 technology provides by reducing the negative feedback you feel when hitting the ball.  In our tests, the Predator Ikon1 cue shoots straight and there was minimal deflection of the cue ball, so our shots were very accurate.

The Ikon Series cues come standard with a rugged Predator 314-2 shaft, which has the popular pro taper, and is constructed of a hard maple with an attractive all black finish.  The high-gloss finish is all the ornamentation it needs, and the Predator logo on the butt lets them know you came to win.

When you pick up the Ikon 1, 0ne of the first things you notice is the Leather-Luxe wrap.  The wrap has three layers that absorb moisture, and is superior to leather as it is not slick-feeling in your hands and has more cushion than other cues on the market.  This helps the IKON1 to be easier to grip, thereby increasing your comfort level and confidence in your shots.

The Predator Ikon1 Specifications:

- Everest Tip

- Uni-Loc Joint

- 29″ 314-2 Shaft (Upgradable to Z-2 Shaft)

- Leather Luxe Wrap

If you’re ready to improve your game and upgrade to a Semi-Pro to Pro level cue, the Predator Ikon1 is a great cue.   If you’d like something a little flashier, check out the other IKON series cues here.

Today, we wanted to give you our recent product review on the solid-performer and best-selling Predator 314v2 Shaft with Black Uni Loc Collar.

The Predator 314v2 is the second generation of 314 model shaft. Predator is known for its professional quality and performance. In fact, more than half of today’s high-ranking professionals use Predator products.

The re-engineered front end of the 314v2 shaft gives greater accuracy and more spin than other conventional cues, providing you with a significant advantage when taking your shot.

The Phenolic core of the 314v2 shaft provides a nice, solid “thunk” when hitting the ball, with less negative feedback. One interesting feature about the Predator line of cue shafts is that they utilize a “splicing” method of building shafts that makes for a straighter cue without the inconsistencies that can be commonly be found in wood grain.

This particular model shaft comes with an upgraded Everest tip, standard, and adds even more accuracy to your game. In addition, the 314s include a traditional, or “pro” taper in their design, which can help newer players become more proficient and comfortable with the cue in a shorter amount of time.

The Predator 314v2 Shaft with Black Uniloc Collar Specs include:

• Tip diameter 12.75m
• PRO taper
• Ferrule length 6/10″
• Tip Everest® by Tiger Products and standard shaft length 29″
• Quick-Release Uni-Loc Joint

While the 314v2 is a very easy-to-use cue, we think that the players who would notice the most improvements would be at the beginner to intermediate level players. If you’d like to upgrade, to a more professional grade model, try the top-customer rated Predator Z-2 shafts.

Our latest pool cue review is for the Player’s Foxy Diva Cue, part of the Player’s Flirt Series Cues. Player’s introduced their Flirt Series to be their women-centric line of cues, but don’t let the name fool you, these cues are for serious play. Built with a thinner butt, the Foxy Diva offers easier handling for women but adheres to the same strict quality standard as all other Players cues.

Player’s typically offers great pool sticks at affordable price points, and this cue is no exception.

The first thing that you notice is the solid feel of the cue in your hands and outstanding clarity of the graphics on the butt of the stick.  This is a very playable cue and would be an excellent option for an beginning or semi-serious player..

The design of the Foxy Diva Pool Cue is fashion forward – the girly skull and pink flames have a rocker chic look to them, and the pink and black pressed Irish linen play nicely off of the black forearm. Just because you play as well as a guy doesn’t mean you can’t look great doing it.

The Stats on this Cue:

- 100% USA Rock Maple

- Super High-Gloss UV Finish resists fading

- Le Pro tip included for maximum control

- Irish linen wrap and stainless steel joint collar

The only downside we can find is that the Foxy Diva may not quite be your style.  If not, be sure to check out the rest of the Flirt Pool Cue Series.
