Best All-Around C4+ Pool Cue — SP2 Series
The SP2 line, including the SP2 Lime Green models, pairs C4+ construction with a carbon fiber shaft in a versatile, competition-ready package.

Don't Forget the Shaft — REVO Carbon Fiber
Every C4+ cue's low-deflection performance comes from its REVO carbon fiber shaft. If you already own a Predator butt, a REVO shaft upgrade is the fastest way to add carbon fiber performance to your current setup.
