C4+ Construction Technology

Sturdy Four-Piece Core

Predator’s advanced C4+ construction utilizes a four-piece spliced butt design that promotes exceptional straightness, consistency, and long-term structural integrity.

Greater Stability

Unlike traditional cue designs, C4+ eliminates the need for a threaded weight bolt connecting the forearm and handle, creating a stronger, more stable cue with enhanced durability.

Precision Performance

The result is a cue that feels remarkably solid in hand while delivering the consistency and confidence demanded by serious players.

Exotic Inlays Without Compromise

Enhancing Sleeve Technology

Predator’s sleeve technology allows luxurious woods, alloys, and decorative materials to be inlaid onto a precision-engineered sleeve surrounding the cue’s core.

This innovative design preserves the cue’s performance characteristics while enabling intricate artistic detailing.

Beauty Meets Strength

Backed by the sturdy fused maple core of the C4+ system, the Blak5-1 offers the visual appeal of a custom masterpiece without sacrificing playability or structural integrity.

Phenolic Reinforcement Technology

Strong & Stable Construction

Predator incorporates high-strength phenolic components throughout the cue, including a Uni-Loc® pin encased within a phenolic core for maximum stability and precision.

Reduced Wood Movement

The use of phenolic materials significantly minimizes movement caused by environmental changes, helping maintain long-term concentricity and providing one of the most solid hits available in an inlaid cue.

Extended Leather Luxe™ Wrap

Comfort for Every Grip Style

Designed for players who grip further back on the cue, the Extended Leather Luxe™ Wrap extends all the way to the butt cap for continuous comfort and control.

Moisture Management

The advanced three-layer construction:

• Provides exceptional comfort and tackiness
• Absorbs moisture effectively
• Keeps hands dry during extended play
• Enhances control under pressure
