Looking for a Predator Z-3 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 particular listing is a partial Z-3 shaft without a joint, sold with a Predator logo decal — ideal for cue makers, repair techs, or players who already have a compatible joint fitting and simply need the shaft blank itself. It features the patented Vault Plate front-end construction (Patent US9814963B2), a Conical-Hybrid taper, a 0.40″ ferrule, and a 29″ length. For the complete engineering breakdown behind the Z-3’s construction, see Predator’s official Z-3 technology page.
If you’re looking for a fully finished, ready-to-install shaft instead, we also carry the Z-3 Shaft for 5/16×18 Joint with Black Collar and the Z-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.
Anderson Billiard Supply ships the Predator Z-3 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.
