Any change would not only destroy the Predator REVO shafts’ low-friction finish, but would also compromise performance, damaging the micro-thin layers of unidirectional carbon fiber tow and releasing potentially hazardous carbon fiber dust as well. No, the taper and the diameter must remain the same. They can be scratched, and sharp edges can cut the finish, but no typical impacts in testing have damaged the REVO shafts’ surface. Predator REVO shafts are highly ding-resistant and their surface is much stronger than wood. In testing we placed REVO shafts in a freezer, various high-humidity environments, and even in an oven each time the shafts held their remarkable straightness. REVO shafts are guaranteed to never warp and feature a limited-lifetime warranty. While it may be “possible”, we haven’t been able to achieve this feat. Any attempt to change or modify the color would alter and damage the low-friction surface finish on the shaft and add unnecessary weight. No, they are only available in carbon matte gray/black. This feedback changes in tone when paired with varying joint collars, inserts, and fitments. Because of its build, it is capable of amplifying sound at a much greater rate than wood, providing audible feedback that articulates how each shot was struck. Predator REVO shafts have a unique acoustic signature. Why do REVO shafts sound different on different cues? Bridge comfort and tip diameter preference should be the main consideration in electing a preferred REVO shaft diameter. Because of their low-rise taper, there is only a 3% percent difference in rise between the two models, when measured over the first fourteen inches from the tip. The two sizes were developed to offer players more comfort and varied tip placement options. The key difference between the REVO 12.4 and 12.9 shafts is their respective diameters. From their ultra low-friction surface, to the sound they make upon impact with the ball, playing with a Predator REVO shaft is a different experience.

Predator REVO shafts have even lower deflection than Predator spliced shafts and an even greater hit consistency, but they do feel somewhat different.

Predator REVO shafts are on average 5-10% more accurate than Predator’s third-generation shafts, depending on the velocity of the cue ball, distance to the object ball, and amount of spin used. This composite is formed using unidirectional aerospace grade carbon fiber tow impregnated with our proprietary resin and filled with R2 molecular multi-density foam. Predator REVO shafts are made of a proprietary carbon fiber composite. Is the 30' shaft for REVO 11.8 available to purchase? How do you maintain or clean a REVO shaft’s surface?
