Shaft Options: Victory Tip, REVO, Centro, and More
The Predator Blak5 3 Pool Cue accommodates five distinct shaft options, allowing you to customize performance characteristics to match your playing style and preferences:
REVO Carbon Pool Shaft
Available in three taper options: 11.8mm, 12.4mm, or 12.9mm. The REVO shaft delivers advanced carbon fiber technology for consistent performance and reduced deflection, providing pinpoint control on every shot.
Centro Hybrid Pool Shaft
The Centro Hybrid features a 12.4mm taper and combines traditional maple with modern hybrid construction for a balanced blend of classic feel and contemporary control.
314-3 Spliced Maple Pool Shaft
This 12.75mm option delivers traditional spliced maple construction, offering a pure, responsive feel favored by players who value classic performance characteristics.
Z-3 Spliced Maple Pool Shaft
The Z-3 provides a refined 11.85mm taper with spliced maple construction, ideal for players seeking a lighter touch with traditional maple responsiveness.
Vantage Spliced Maple Pool Shaft
A 12.9mm option that combines spliced maple durability with Vantage’s proven performance profile, delivering consistent stroke feedback.
Tip Customization for Your Preferred Play Style
Beyond shaft selection, the Predator Blak5 3 Pool Cue offers comprehensive tip options to fine-tune your game. Choose between Predator Victory Tip in Hard, Medium, or Soft densities for consistent, responsive performance, or select from Kamui Black Hard, Medium, Soft, or Super Soft for alternative feel preferences.
Each tip option pairs seamlessly with the Uni-Loc Quick-Release joint, ensuring secure, repeatable connections between butt and shaft for maximum consistency.
Technical Specifications and Features
Joint System: Uni-Loc Quick-Release ensures tool-free assembly and disassembly with a secure, rattle-free connection that maintains alignment through thousands of shots.
Weight Options: Available in 18.5 oz, 19 oz, 19.5 oz, or 20 oz to match your balance and swing preferences.

The combination of customizable weight, shaft diameter, shaft material, and tip hardness means you can dial in the exact playing characteristics you need. Whether you prefer a low deflection carbon shaft with a soft tip for finesse shots or a traditional maple shaft with a hard tip for aggressive play, the Predator Blak5 3 delivers.
Why Players Choose the Predator Blak5 3
This cue bridges the gap between collector’s item and tournament-ready instrument. The visual appeal of rich ebony and dynamic alloy inlays makes it display-worthy, while the engineering and customization options ensure it performs when it matters most. The Uni-Loc Quick-Release joint provides the reliability serious players demand, and the Leather Luxe wrap delivers comfort during extended play sessions.
Players appreciate the flexibility to dial in their exact specifications rather than compromising on shaft, tip, or weight. This level of customization is rarely offered on premium cues without special order, yet the Predator Blak5 3 includes multiple options as standard.
Blak5 3 vs Other Blak5 Models
The Blak5 series spans multiple models, each with distinct visual characteristics and material combinations. The Blak5 3 occupies a unique position within the lineup, offering the ebony and alloy combination with curly maple accents. If you’re comparing across the Blak5 range, consider whether you prefer the specific aesthetic and inlay point configuration of the 3, or whether the visual presentation of Predator Blak5 4 Pool Cue better matches your collection preferences.

Jump cues like the Predator Air Rush Teal Jump Cue Sport Wrap and Predator Air II Black Jump Cue Sport Wrap allow you to expand your game while maintaining Predator’s quality standards.
