Predator Blak4 3 Pool Cue with Radial Joint

Description

Predator Blak4-3 — Overview

The Blak4-3 sits near the top of Predator’s luxury playing-cue lineup. It combines Predator’s proven C4+ construction technology with one of the most elaborate ebony-and-inlay designs in the Blak series.

Construction & Performance

• C4+ 4-piece core construction
  • Fused maple core for improved straightness and stability.
  • Less susceptible to warping than traditional full-splice cues.
• Phenolic-reinforced construction
  • Increases durability and long-term concentricity.
  • Produces a solid, consistent hit.
• Radial® Joint
  • Wood-to-wood style feel.
  • Often preferred by players seeking a slightly softer, more connected hit compared with Uni-Loc Quick Release joints.
• Leather Luxe™ Wrap
  • Soft, tacky feel.
  • Excellent moisture management.
• Thin grip diameter
  • Comfortable for players who prefer a slimmer handle.

Design Features

• Rich ebony forearm and butt sleeve.
• Curly maple and micarta inlays.
• Polished alloy accents.
• Four long floating points and four short points.
• Silver and micarta double rings.
• Tear-shaped stainless-steel butt cap.

Among the Blak4 models:

• Blak4-1 = simpler point design.
• Blak4-2 = floating points.
• Blak4-3 = most intricate point work and visual detailing.

Shaft Options

The butt can be paired with:

• Predator 314-3 — balanced all-around wood shaft.
• Predator Z-3 — lower deflection, smaller diameter.
• Predator Vantage — stiffer hit and more power.
• Predator REVO 12.4 — maximum precision with a slightly softer carbon-fiber feel.
• Predator REVO 12.9 — stiffer carbon-fiber option favored by many professionals.

Who It’s Best For

• Intermediate to professional players.
• Players wanting a premium, luxury cue with strong resale value.
• Those who like the feel of a Radial joint and a softer, more traditional hit than the P3 series.
• Collectors who appreciate detailed inlay work.
