Predator CRM Carom Cues | 3 Cushion Cues | Billiards Cues
GET AN EDGE WITH SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY
Predator carom and 3-Cushion billiard cues have been engineered for higher performance and are the top choice of professional 3-cushion players who need consistent action. Predator cue technology minimizes cue ball deflection, helping you maximize control and progress faster. You don't need to adjust your aim when using side-spin the same way you do with other cues. And the extra spin means you can get more power with less effort.
Choose between our tournament-grade Virtuoso CRM cues, collector-grade Limited Edition CRM cues, and specialty lines including P3 CRM, SP2 CRM, Sport CRM, and True Splice CRM. Explore the full Predator carom collection to find the good fit for your discipline.
CRM Carom Cues Questions
A carom cue (or 3-cushion cue) is engineered specifically for carom billiards — a game played on a heated, pocketless table with three balls. Carom cues are shorter than pool cues (typically 55-57" instead of 58"), lighter at the tip, and use a faster taper to support the soft, precise strokes the game requires. Using a pool cue for carom is possible but limits your control; a purpose-built carom cue lets you produce the gentle, controlled action across multiple cushions that defines the game.
3-cushion is the most popular form of carom billiards worldwide. The goal: strike both object balls with your cue ball after the cue ball contacts at least three cushions. The game is played on a pocketless table and rewards finesse, geometry, and patience over the power-and-pocket strategy of pool. Predator CRM cues are engineered specifically for 3-cushion play, with a dimensional and balance philosophy distinct from our pool cues.
The Virtuoso CRM is our standard production line — tournament-grade construction, handcrafted with premium materials, the right starting point for most competitive 3-cushion players. The Limited Edition CRM cues offer short-run artistry with exotic woods and intricate inlays for collectors and players who want a singular cue. We also offer specialty lines, including P3 CRM, SP2 CRM, Sport CRM, and True Splice CRM — each pairing the Predator construction philosophy with a different aesthetic and price point.
Yes, but with carom-specific tuning. Predator CRM cues pair with our REVO 3C carbon fiber shafts (the carom version of our REVO shaft) or our Vantage 3C maple shafts — both engineered with the same low-deflection principles as our pool shafts, but dimensionally calibrated for the carom stroke. The result: minimum cue ball deflection on side-spin shots, maximum consistency across the heated cloth, and the kind of predictable action 3-cushion play demands.
Technically yes, but it isn't optimal. A carom cue is shorter and lighter at the tip than a pool cue, which works against you on power shots and break shots in pool. If you play both games seriously, the right answer is a dedicated cue for each discipline. Browse our complete Predator pool cues lineup for the pool side of your kit.
