Predator LE Artisan Series Ebony and Maple Pool Cue – Radial

The Apex of Craftsmanship: Predator LE Artisan Series

Every square inch of the Predator LE Artisan Series Ebony and Maple pool cue speaks to a legacy of meticulous craftsmanship. Billiards is a game of millimeters, where a microscopic deviation in your stroke or equipment can mean the difference between clearing the table and leaving a winning pocket open for your opponent. Predator built the Artisan Series specifically to eliminate those variables.

The Contrast of Premium Exotic Tonewoods

The visual anchor of this luxury cue is the stunning interplay between rich, midnight Jet-Black Ebony and the clean, tight-grained brilliance of Natural Hard Rock Maple.

• Jet-Black Exotic Ebony: Prized by master cuemakers for centuries, the ultra-dense ebony used in the forearm and butt sleeve provides a solid, uncompromising weight distribution. Its tight grain structure naturally dampens vibrations, offering a crisp, solid feedback on every strike.

• Premium Hard Rock Maple: The maple accents and core structure inject a classic, timeless contrast. Selected for its structural integrity, the seasoned maple ensures the cue remains perfectly straight, balanced, and resistant to atmospheric changes over years of intense play.

The Power of Radial Joint Engineering

At the heart of this high-performance pool cue is the elite Radial joint system. Unlike standard pinned joints that can suffer from minor alignment shifting or a “buzzing” feedback, the Radial pin tightens directly into the wood wood-to-wood or into a precision insert to deliver a completely seamless feel.

Why Serious Players Insist on a Radial Pin

The Radial joint maximizes energy transfer from your grip hand through to the cue ball. When the pin secures the shaft to the butt, it creates a unified, one-piece feel. You will instantly notice a solid, dead-on hit with virtually zero energy loss, allowing you to control the cue ball with pinpoint accuracy across the entire length of the slate.

Engineered to Dominate: Technology That Wins Tournaments

Standard pool sticks bend and deflect upon impact, pushing the cue ball offline when you apply lateral spin (english). The Predator LE Artisan Series is explicitly engineered to neutralize this issue, giving you the confidence to execute complex position plays effortlessly.

Pure Performance Architecture

Beneath the elegant exterior of the Ebony and Maple points lies a highly advanced interior core. Predator’s proprietary construction techniques reinforce the cue’s interior structure, drastically increasing its radial consistency. This means no matter how you rotate the cue in your hand, it will flex and react identically on every single shot.

Wrap-less Design for Pure Tactile Feedback

This specific model features a premium wrap-less handle. While linen or leather wraps can sometimes cushion or mask the vibration of a shot, a wrap-less ebony handle gives your skin direct contact with the wood. This provides an unadulterated feedback loop, telling your hands exactly how cleanly you struck the ball. If you are a player who relies on touch, speed control, and subtle finesse, this wrap-less configuration is an absolute game-changer.

Custom Tuning with Uni-Loc Compatibility

Every player has a distinct preference when it comes to balance points and total physical weight. The Predator LE Artisan Series comes fully compatible with the Uni-Loc® Weight Cartridge System. This allows you to fine-tune the weight of your cue in precise 0.1-ounce increments, altering the balance point to perfectly complement your natural stroke mechanics.
