Predator cues are used by professionals from every country in the world. Their incredible design sets them apart from the rest. They have been used by Charlie Williams, Jennifer Baretta, and Dennis Orcollo to name a few. The predator brand was created in 1994 and has been aiming for perfection since. They utilize greater accuracy in production to insure greater results in game play. One of their top design styles is Blak. The great looks are created to distract your opponent in game play. The shaft is in ten segments which is designed for better stability. The Blak combines both looks and moves. They also have created an old style thicker pro taper shaft cue designed for the stiffer feel in the butt. This type is known as the FAT shaft. This thicker staff was originally only available in Taiwan, but can now be obtained all over the world.

When creating your own billiards room, the number one challenge is finding your location. No matter where you choose your billiards room to be you must analyze that space.

Keep lighting in mind when mapping out your game room. Your lighting can make or break the mood. Most billiards rooms will have a pool light over the table. This will eliminate the cast of shadows across your table. Lighting then the rest of the room should be soft and mute for the perfect mood. For other areas such as dining and sitting areas, directional lights would work best. This way you have full control of all of the lighting in the room. If your room has a window, make sure you have window treatments that can be drawn to prevent light from the sun or a passing car in the night from shining in your eyes. When picking your fixtures for lights, also keep in mind you room decor. Make sure that they match and tie into the rest of your room setting.

The most common choice for billiards rooms is a wood stain finish. This is more pleasing to the eye. But keep it balanced. Have your larger items in one area like sofas and tables in one area and your racks and stools in another. When everything is said and done, you will have the billiards room of your dreams that you can enjoy for years to come.
