Summary

My specialty is product Knowledge, I have been collecting, buying and selling Billiards supplies since 2020. I have learned all the ends and outs of different cue brands and I have taken a full liking to the Predator Billiards brand. I have studied many different cues, backgrounds, specialty cues, Limited edition and Special Edition models. I have gathered a special interest in retired cues and the Predator Marketing of the product. I have built a collection of Special edition cues especially the Panthera models, production models and some custom made cues. Predator is my home and i defend the products on a daily basis in many marketplace groups. I understand the warranty policies and the performance of the products and what makes them special over other cues. I actually was told i educated one of your customer representatives Mrs. Glenda whom recommended me to pit in a resume. Would be a pleasure and honor to be a part of the group and brand.
