Predator 314-3 Shaft for 5/16×18 Joint with Black Collar

Looking for a Predator 314-3 5/16×18 shaft? Known as the all-around athlete of Predator’s lineup, the 314-3 is the most forgiving shaft in the entire range, while still being even more accurate than previous generations. With its Pro taper — the preferred taper and diameter of countless champions — it’s the ideal choice if you play multiple disciplines and want one truly versatile tool in your cue bag rather than switching shafts between games.

In terms of feel, the 314-3 sits right in the middle of Predator’s wood shaft lineup: stiffer than the thinner, more accuracy-focused Z-3, but not as stiff as the power-oriented Vantage — genuinely the balanced, do-everything option for players who don’t want to compromise between control and forgiveness.

This fully finished, ready-to-install model comes fitted for the 5/16×18 joint pin size with a sleek black collar, and includes a Pro taper, Thermax™ ferrule (0.50″), 12.75mm tip diameter, Predator Victory Tip (Medium), and a 29″ length. For the complete engineering breakdown behind the 314-3’s construction, see Predator’s official 314-3 technology page.

If your cue uses a different joint fitting, we also carry the 314-3 Shaft for 5/16×14 Joint with Black Collar and the 314-3 Shaft for Radial Joint with Thin Black Collar – 30″. If you’re deciding between wood and carbon fiber, our Predator REVO shafts offer the dimensional stability of carbon composite construction instead.
