Which type of predator are you using? Z or Z2 or 314 or 314-2? Is it a new tip? Or is it worn down? The standard Everest tip on Z,Z2 is pretty good. If you don't have a TipPic handy, here something that I learned on my own... Lick your fore finger and thumb, then clean (and slightly moisten) the edge of the tip. Now chalk will adhere strongly to the tip! I do this before an important shot where I cannot afford a miscue. Also, whenever you have the cue ball in hand (for breaking or whatever), wipe the ball clean. My belief is that even a hair on the ball can cause a miscue.
