Poison Technology

Poison exists to bring Predator's engineering philosophy to players who aren't ready to spend flagship money — and the Venom Carbon Fiber shaft is where that philosophy actually lives.

Venom Carbon Fiber Shaft

Poison runs on Venom. No dilution. Every Poison cue — VX Break, VX Jump/Break, Maelith, Candy — ships with the same shaft technology, full strength, at every price point in the lineup.

  • What it does: Venom is a carbon fiber composite shaft engineered on the same low-deflection principles behind Predator's REVO shaft.
  • Why it matters: A beginner or league player fighting an unpredictable wood shaft is fighting their equipment as much as their opponent.
