Predator Z-3 Shaft for Uni-Loc QR Joint with Silver Ring – 30″

Looking for a Predator Z-3 Uni-Loc 30” shaft? Reloaded with new technology, the third generation of Predator’s world-renowned low deflection shafts features a new front-end construction, stronger high-tech materials, and even better game-changing performance. At 11.85mm, the Z-3 is Predator’s thinnest maple shaft, allowing for genuinely pin-point tip placement and the lowest deflection among any wooden pool cue shaft in Predator’s lineup.

As Predator’s most accurate spliced maple shaft, the Z-3 delivers extra spin with less effort — making it a favourite among frequent intermediate and expert players, particularly those who play 8-Ball on smaller tables, or slower-paced, high-spin games like One Pocket and Banks where precise cue ball control matters more than raw power.

This fully finished, ready-to-install model features the Uni-Loc® Quick-Release Joint, letting you swap between cue butts quickly and securely, and is built in a 30″ length for players who prefer a slightly longer shaft for their stance and bridge compared to the standard 29″ option. It’s finished with a distinctive silver ring collar, and includes the patented Vault Plate front-end construction (Patent US9814963B2), a Conical-Hybrid taper, Thermax™ ferrule (0.40″), and Predator Victory Tip (Medium). For the complete engineering breakdown behind the Z-3’s construction, see Predator’s official Z-3 technology page.

If you prefer the standard 29″ length instead, we also carry the Z-3 Shaft for Uni-Loc QR Joint with Silver Ring, or the 3/8×10 Joint version with black collar if your cue uses that fitting. If you’re deciding between wood and carbon fiber, our Predator REVO shafts offer the dimensional stability of carbon composite construction instead.

Anderson Billiard Supply ships the Predator Z-3 Uni-Loc 30” shaft directly from our Calgary warehouse — meaning Canadian players get genuine, authenticated shafts without cross-border shipping delays, customs surprises, or USD currency conversion. Priced and shipped entirely in CAD, coast to coast.
