Vantage shafts have been designed and developed for players seeking increased shaft stiffness and velocity in a spliced-maple shaft construction. Packed with Predator’s proven accuracy and control, Vantage shafts feature the Pro V taper and have the lowest front-end mass of the entire Predator spliced maple shaft line-up, making them especially powerful. The Predator Vantage 12.9 mm low-deflection pool cue shaft is our thickest and most powerful spliced maple shaft. It will give you more playing power and forgiveness that will improve your game.
