Our take on the Predator REVO 11.8 shaft with Black Vault Plate

The Predator REVO 11.8 is a carbon fiber composite pool cue shaft with an 11.8mm tip and a Black Vault Plate joint collar. Predator claims the lowest front-end mass and lowest rate of rise taper of its shafts, which it says gives more accuracy at both soft and hard speeds, more spin and a smoother finish than wood. The 11.8mm tip suits players who want more spin and a finer aim picture than the 12.4mm REVO, while the low-deflection carbon build is the main draw over a standard maple shaft. The Black Vault Plate is a cosmetic change; the shaft itself is unchanged from earlier REVO versions.

Best forPlayers who want maximum spin and a small tip diameterLow-deflection players moving up from a maple shaftOwners of a Predator butt who want a carbon shaftSerious league and tournament players
Pros
  • Carbon fiber composite build resists dings and warping better than wood
  • Low front-end mass keeps deflection down on off-center hits
  • 11.8mm tip gives more spin and a finer aim picture than the 12.4mm REVO
  • Smooth, low-friction finish that stays clean
  • Black Vault Plate gives a darker look at the joint
Cons
  • Carbon shafts cost far more than a quality maple shaft
  • 11.8mm is less forgiving on off-center hits than a 12.4mm or 12.9mm tip
  • Stiffer hit than wood; some players never adjust to the feel
  • Joint pin and collar must match your butt, so check compatibility before buying

What reviewers say

Players who use the REVO line praise the low deflection, the durable finish and the consistent hit, and many say the 11.8mm tip gives noticeably more spin than the 12.4mm. The main complaints are the stiff, non-wood feel and the cost, and some players find the small tip less forgiving.

Questions and answers

Is the 11.8mm REVO better than the 12.4mm?
The 11.8mm tip gives more spin and a finer aim picture; the 12.4mm is more forgiving on off-center hits. Choose by whether you want more spin or more margin for error.
Does the Black Vault Plate change how it plays?
No. Predator states the only change is the black vault plate; the shaft plays the same as other REVO shafts.
Will it fit my cue butt?
It fits Predator butts with the matching joint, and other butts with a compatible pin and collar. Check your butt's joint type before ordering.
Do I need to maintain a carbon shaft differently?
Wipe it with a damp cloth and avoid abrasives; the composite does not need the sanding and sealing a wooden shaft does.
What comes in the box?
The shaft with the Black Vault Plate and its tip installed. A joint protector and case are not guaranteed, so confirm with the seller.
