The 314-3 low deflection shaft is the all around athlete and our most forgiving shaft at the same time. With its Pro taper, the 314-3 is also the preferred taper and diameter of countless champions and it is even more accurate than before. It is the best choice if you play multiple disciplines and you want a versatile tool kit in your cue bag. In terms of feel, it is stiffer than a Z-3, but not as stiff as Vantage. The re-engineered front end is significantly stronger, lighter and more flexible, allowing the cue ball to push the shaft aside, reducing cue ball deflection. Each shaft is constructed with our patented iMatch process. Every single triangle is tested for optimal density, mass, and stiffness and paired to create the best 10-piece shaft possible for better consistency and playability.
