Are Poison Billiard Cues good?

Question

Are Poison Billiard Cues good? ( for price, and all together) in particular the poison cyanide ones

Answer 1

I personally think they are ugly, but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The quality is on par with Players, Lucasi, or similar cues and I believe the Poison cues are over priced for a Chinese mass produced cue. Others may have a different opinion.

Answer 2

They are made by Predator cues, and all I have to say about Predator cues is this.... Nice cues, waaaaaaaay over priced.  I've shot with lots and lots of different cues and talked to lots of different people about Predator and this is what I have come up with.... Its all in the head of the holder.  I can do anything with, and a Predator cue can do nothing more then I can do with my stock Jacoby shaft.  And my cue looks 1000% better then any Predator cue I have ever seen.  Good luck and keep rackn em up!

Answer 3

Poison Cues are not a cheap China cue!

Late in 2007 Predator USA from Jacksonville Florida opened a subsidiary company and launched another entire line of cues called Poison. With these cues Predator has brought out their second runner up innovation at deflection reduction in the use of a double density hollow core shaft insert that may not be as good a design as the original Predator in direct comparison on the robotic-testing but it leaves all other cues behind in performance. The feel of the demonstrator I tried has a very similar hit to the Predator so the Poison Cues hit with a similar accuracy to the Predator but will out shoot any other production cue. I have the catalog here and the designs are indeed different and unusual if your tastes run conventionally, however, they have a new and edgy look that is very appealing. With cue styles named like Strychnine, Anthrax, Arsenic, and Cyanide these cues have a humourous attitude to killing the competition. This is my kind of Cue!  Poison Cues are specifically priced very competitively head to head against all the quality cues out there. Today, even at half the price of Predator, I think the best Bang for the Buck is still a cue from the Predator technology group.

Poison is not only the latest entry into the game but comes with a very respectable family history for again providing an innovative advanced quality that you can feel and see in results more than just pretty looks and they do it at a very reasonable street price too. I'm not affiliated with Predator but I shoot with Predator cues and this is my own belief after I went out to check out the new Poison lineup. Might I suggest, that you go try a Predator, and a Poison cue and compare for yourself the feel and hit to other cues and make up your own mind.

Good Shooting!
