Predator has been setting the standard in cue technology for decades. We've carried their full lineup since 1999, and what separates Predator from the competition isn't just marketing, it's engineering. Their low-deflection shafts genuinely change the way you aim and execute, reducing cue ball deflection so your natural stroke translates more accurately to the shot.
Why Choose Predator Cues?
Whether you're a weekend player or competing at a high level, the difference Predator technology makes is something you feel immediately. Here's what sets them apart:
1
Customization and Comfort
The Uni-Loc Weight Cartridge System lets you dial in the weight and balance to match exactly how you play, whether that's a lighter touch for finesse shots or more mass behind a powerful break. Pair that with a wide selection of shaft options and you have a cue that genuinely fits your game.
2
A Lineup Built for Every Level
From entry-level players picking up their first quality cue to seasoned competitors looking for a high-end playing cue or specialty jump cue, Predator has a model built for you. Our staff knows this lineup inside and out, so if you're not sure where to start, reach out and we'll point you in the right direction.

Technology That Actually Makes a Difference
Predator doesn't add features for the sake of it. From the carbon fiber construction of the REVO shaft to precision-machined joint interfaces that keep your cue playing true over time, every design decision is made with performance in mind. It's why Predator is the cue of choice for so many serious players, and why we've been proud to carry them for over 25 years.

Already Have a Shaft? Buy Butt Only
FCI Billiards understands that sometimes you already own a shaft or two and just want a new butt design to play with. That's why we offer all Predator cues (excluding break and jump cues) with an option to purchase as butt only, with no shaft included. Just make sure that your current shaft(s) are compatible with the joint on the butt you are buying.
Predator Shaft Options
Most Predator playing cues can be configured with your choice of shaft, each built around a different balance of feel, deflection, and playability:
314-3 Shaft+
The shaft that started it all for Predator, first launched in 1994. Built with 10-piece spliced maple construction in a 12.75mm diameter with a pro taper, the 314-3 is the most forgiving option in the lineup and a great fit for players who want a natural, traditional feel. Comes standard with a Predator Victory Medium tip.
Z-3 Shaft+
At 11.85mm, the Z-3 is the lowest deflection shaft among Predator's wood shaft options. It trades a bit of the 314-3's forgiveness for more english generation, making it a strong choice for players who want extra spin control. Comes standard with a Predator Victory Medium tip.
Centro Shaft+
The Centro takes a hybrid approach, pairing a carbon fiber core with a classic maple exterior. The result is a shaft that combines the stiffness of carbon with the feel and feedback players expect from maple. Available in 12.4mm and comes standard with a Predator Victory Medium tip.
REVO Shaft+
Predator's flagship full carbon fiber shaft, offering the lowest deflection in the entire lineup. Available in 11.8mm, 12.4mm, and 12.9mm diameters, so you can dial in the exact feel you want. Comes standard with a Predator Victory Medium tip.
