Reloaded with new technology. The third generation of Predator’s world-renowned low -deflection shafts has arrived, featuring a new front end construction, stronger high-tech materials, and even better game-changing performance. The Predator Z-3 pool cue shaft is our thinnest shaft with its 11.85 mm tip diameter. It allows for pinpoint tip placement and has the lowest deflection among wooden pool cue shafts. It is our most accurate spliced maple shaft and will give you extra spin with less effort.
