Centro Shafts

Centro Shafts represent Predator’s hybrid approach to pool cue construction, combining the classic feel of premium maple with modern carbon fiber technology to deliver low deflection and consistent power. This curated collection features the latest Centro shaft options, each engineered to give you responsive feedback at the tip while minimizing unwanted deflection during aggressive play.

Predator Centro: Hybrid Feel with Carbon Power

The Centro line bridges the gap between traditional spliced maple shafts and contemporary low-deflection designs. Unlike purely wood-based shafts, Predator Centro shafts integrate a carbon fiber core that enhances stability and ball control without sacrificing the organic touch that classic players expect. Whether you’re drawn to traditional cue feel or seeking measurable performance improvements, the Centro shaft delivers both.

Key Features of the Centro Low-Deflection Shaft

Predator Centro shafts feature a 12.4mm tip diameter and are constructed with a hybrid maple and carbon fiber composition that optimizes both power and precision. The low deflection technology means straighter shots, especially useful when executing draw, follow, and English. You’ll notice improved accuracy on long-distance shots and tighter cue ball control during break and power strokes.

Available Joint Options: Uni-Loc and Radial

This category includes two primary joint configurations to match your cue setup. The Uni-Loc Quick-Release joint provides convenient one-hand assembly and disassembly, perfect for traveling or frequent adjustments. The Radial Joint option delivers a secure, traditional connection favored by players who prefer a fixed joint feel. Both are available in the Centro hybrid design, so your choice comes down to convenience versus classic joint preference.
