Made of carbon fiber composite, REVO 11.8mm shafts incorporate more than twenty years of technological innovation and testing. More accuracy, more spin, more consistency, more comfort, and more longevity, Predator REVO shafts set a new standard for performance. Our 30' shafts are available with the Custom REVO Program for the 12.4 and 12.9, but it is not available for the 11.8 at this time.The Ultimate in Billiards Technology and Performance. To clean a REVO shaft’s surface, simply brush off any exterior dirt with the supplied microfiber cleaning cloth, and then wipe the shaft with a REVO cleaning wipe or a soft cloth treated with isopropyl alcohol (90%). Never use abrasives or chemicals on a REVO shaft doing so will damage the shaft’s surface and performance. We do not recommend breaking with REVO 12.4 or 11.8 shafts. The Predator BK-RUSH features a break optimized REVO BK-R carbon fiber composite break shaft. Its construction was developed as a playing shaft. Yes, you can break with a REVO 12.9 playing shaft it’s strong enough, but it is not optimized for breaking. Due to the shaft’s more complex construction, extra care must be used in changing the tip, ensuring that the shaft isn’t sanded and the Vault Plate and V-Tek tip silencer maintain their appropriate dimensions.īecause of the increased stiffness and energy transfer of REVO shafts, our testing indicated players preferred a somewhat softer tip, and for that reason we elected to make the Predator Victory Soft Tip standard. We recommend only having the tip replaced at an authorized Predator Repair Center. Yes, you can change the tip on any REVO shaft. Doing so would decrease the shafts’ superb accuracy. Because of the stiffness and strength of the carbon fiber composite construction, there is no need to add the additional weight and mass of a ferrule to the shafts’ construction. No, Predator REVO shafts do not have a ferrule. 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?
