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.
