True Splice Series

The True Splice 16 is back and brighter than ever. The TS16 cues are tributes to true traditionalists, combining the classic
look and feel of full splice design with modern engineering and vibrant veneer joined with a rich Ebony forearm. Time-
honored craftsmanship meets cutting-edge innovation. Seamless TrueSplice construction and our Radial® Pin come together for powerful shots with minimal effort. Sixteen vibrant points complimented by a genuine leather wrap celebrate the heritage of the sport while continuing to inspire the next generation.

Blak Series

The Blak5 series marks the next evolution of a two-decade legacy. With each generation, Predator’s master craftsmen push the boundaries of design and precision — and the fifth generation stands as the most intricate yet. Each Blak5 cue features longer, more elaborate inlay points that demand greater time, skill, and precision to produce. Genuine exotic Ebony — a rare and precious wood increasingly difficult to source — serves as the foundation, beautifully contrasted by fine curly maple, gleaming alloys, and Ivorine details. The result is a collection of five cues that transcend performance and enter the realm of art. For those who play with passion and collect with purpose, the Blak5 series represents both a statement of excellence and a timeless investment.

P3 Series

The world’s most advanced shaft, paired with our most advanced cue construction technology. You'll never see the game the same way again once you play with P3, it's the most forward-thinking cue we've ever made. Meticulously engineered, obsessively forward-thinking and with unprecedented P3 technology, these pool cues have changed the game forever. Each P3 pool cue can be paired with your choice of our world-renowned low-deflection 314-3, Z-3, Vantage, Centro, or REVO shaft.

REVO Series

The pinnacle of carbon fiber technology. After more than twenty years of innovation and testing, the highest performance pool cue shaft in the world has arrived, featuring aerospace-grade carbon fiber composite and the patented Vault Plate front-end construction. The REVO shaft is Predator’s most accurate shaft, available in multiple sizes including the precision-focused 11.8 mm. It offers the most consistent hit and highest radial consistency among all shafts. It is our most durable and warp-resistant construction, giving you maximum power and pinpoint accuracy with virtually zero deflection.

Z-3 Series

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.

314 Series

The Predator 314-3 low deflection pool cue shaft has been the reference and the best pool cue shaft since its original launch of the 314 shaft in 1994. It is our most forgiving spliced Maple shaft and will help you improve your game.

With its Pro taper, the 314-3 is also the preferred taper and diameter of countless champions and it is even more accurate than before. It is the best choice if you play multiple disciplines and want a versatile toolkit in your cue bag.

Centro Series

Precision is power—and with the new Predator Centro Shaft, you can command both. Designed for the discerning player who demands a superior blend of feel and force, the Centro fuses hard maple tradition with the cutting-edge stability of a carbon fiber tube integrated into the front of the shaft. The result? A shaft that delivers strong energy transfer with controlled, authentic feedback—bridging the gap between classic wood performance and the future of carbon technology.

Vantage Series

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Predator 314³, Z³, and Vantage shafts?

These are Predator's world-famous wood low-deflection shafts. The 314³ is the most popular all-around choice with a pro taper. The has a thinner taper for maximum spin and finesse, while the Vantage is thicker and stiffer, designed for players who want a more traditional wood feel with maximum power.

What joint system does Predator use?

Most Predator cues utilize the Uni-Loc Quick Release joint, which is famous for its precision alignment and the ability to lock with a single turn. Some specific models, especially those in the limited-edition series, may use the Uni-Loc Radial joint for a more "solid" wood-to-wood feel.

Why do so many professional players use Predator?

Predator is the choice of champions like Shane Van Boening and Fedor Gorst because of consistency. In professional play, equipment must perform identically every time. Predator’s engineering ensures that every 314³ or REVO shaft hits with the same predictable deflection, regardless of the environment.

Are Predator cues covered by a warranty?

Yes, Predator offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects. While it does not cover "wear and tear" (like the tip or finish scratches), it does protect against structural failures in the joint or shaft construction.

Why is the "taper" of a shaft important?

The taper refers to the change in diameter from the tip down the shaft. A Pro Taper stays the same diameter for the first 10-12 inches, providing a consistent feel through the bridge. A European/Conical Taper gets thicker immediately, offering a stiffer hit preferred by some power hitters.

What is the difference between a wrap and a wrapless cue handle?

Wraps (usually Irish Linen or Leather) are designed to absorb moisture from your hands and provide a consistent grip. A wrapped cue also gives you more customization options as you pick different types of material and color to match your tastes. Wrapless cues (finished wood) are preferred by players who like to feel the natural texture of the wood and want a smoother transition during their stroke.

What tip hardness (soft, medium, hard) is best for my playing style?

Soft tips provide more "grip" on the cue ball, making it easier to apply extreme spin (English), but they require more frequent shaping. Hard tips last longer and provide more consistency on power shots, but they are more prone to miscuing if not properly chalked. Medium tips are the most popular choice for all-around play.

How do I choose the right weight for a pool cue?

Most players use a cue weighing between 18 and 21 ounces. An 18 or 19oz cue offers more control and finesse, while a 20 or 21oz cue provides more momentum for a heavier hit. Many of our cues feature adjustable weight bolt systems so you can fine-tune the feel.
