Seybert's Billiards Supply has custom created a pro-tapered Predator Z-3 shaft. The custom-built Predator Z-3 S-Tuned (Seybert's Tuned Shaft) starts with the popular Predator Z-3 partial shaft. (a finished Predator Z-3 shaft without a joint). The Predator Z-3 partial standard Conical Hybrid taper is then modified by our specialist to that of the popular pro taper. This provides the user a longer taper as available on the Predator 314-3 shafts but with the smaller tip diameter (11.85mm) offered by the Z-3. From there we add standard joints to fit many of the popular cues in use today. As this is a custom-built and tuned shaft from Seyberts.com... if we don't have a joint style you would like in stock... drop us a call to see if we can produce a Seybert's S-Tuned shaft for your cue.
