The For Sale forum section seems to have nothing, I was wondering if anyone had a uniloc Z3 shaft that they're willing to let go of? Please PM me.
I don't know what the price was pre-covid but $339 is insane!!! They were released 7 years ago...Wow, a new Z3 is $339.
Weren’t they around $250 before Covid ?
A man of culture I see.I bought a P2 with a Z Shaft in 2004, 18 years ago.
At $339, you might as well move to a Cynergy 11.8 for $399... Predator has the lost the plot over the past 3-4 years. They look clueless.Wow, a new Z3 is $339.

I had a Revo and played with it for a few months and sold it, didn't really like the feel of the carbon fiber, I much prefer a wooden shaft. I've been playing with a 314-2 for about 8-9 years now.Z3 with 11.5 Diameter is and extra $35 or $374.
Only $125 away from a Revo
I'd encourage you to try a Cynergy. It plays nothing like a Revo.I had a Revo and played with it for a few months and sold it, didn't really like the feel of the carbon fiber, I much prefer a wooden shaft. I've been playing with a 314-2 for about 8-9 years now.
Just looking to go to a smaller diamater shaft like the Z3 preferably. It's just way too expensive brand new.
$240 sounds like a steal right about now!$340 is insane for a Z3
6 years ago I got an S-tuned Z3 for about $240 and plain Z2s were on sale for $225.
I suspect the 25% tariff on Chinese goods has not helped the price structure.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this, especially considering I own and have spent time with every piece of equipment we are discussing here. To each their own I recon, but I would agree that Cynergy shafts do deflect a bit more than a Revo. For my game, this allows me to create an angle and shape my ball when necessary, plus I can actually feel what the shaft is doing unlike a Revo.But it also does not play much like a Z3 either. It had about the same deflection and hit feel as an earlier 314. More deflection than a Z3 and more flex than many CF shafts out there, probably more flex than a decent number of wood LD shafts.
You have some interesting points. I just can't see myself going back to a carbon fiber shaft after owning a Revo and selling it after a couple months. I broke even so I'm not even mad, it held it's value.I'm going to have to disagree with you on this, especially considering I own and have spent time with every piece of equipment we are discussing here.

In my experience, Cynergy shafts defect less than a 314-2 or 314-3, and are about in line with the Z-3 in terms of defelction. The only difference between the Z-2 and Z-3 was the incorporation of a different ferrule material (due to contamination issues across all predator shaft ferrules) and the tip plate. This was a carry over of materials used to develop the Vantage shaft.
The Cynergy 11.8 has greater static stiffness than the Z-2 or Z-3, and transfers more power. With these points in mind, I'll circle back around to my original point... When we are talking about a $339 wood shaft that's design has been around for a decade or a Carbon Fiber shaft that plays quite similarly for $60 dollars more with a lifetime warranty, I'd again say its worth a test drive.
I hope you get a chance to try one sometime.You have some interesting points. I just can't see myself going back to a carbon fiber shaft after owning a Revo and selling it after a couple months. I broke even so I'm not even mad, it held it's value.
I just like the traditional hit and feel of a wooden shaft.
Does anyone at the top level play with a Cynergy besides Shane? I know it's because he's sponsored by them. Everyone at my pool hall seems to have a Revo but they are pretty dogwater when it comes to actual playing.
I feel like it gives people a false sense of confidence that they will actually play better.
I do admit the Revo was pretty consistent for me in terms of ball pocketing and deflection predictability, just didn't like the feel.
Idk man, to each their own.
If I see someone with a Cynergy at my local pool hall, I'll ask them to try it out.
I had both. For me personally, I preferred the Cynergy over the Revo. Feel, ball pocketing and crazy as it sounds even build quality in terms of how it looked while shooting, the quality of the carbon fiber on the cynergy was much better.You have some interesting points.

My Z2 is 11.7.I had a Revo and played with it for a few months and sold it, didn't really like the feel of the carbon fiber, I much prefer a wooden shaft. I've been playing with a 314-2 for about 8-9 years now.

I don't see where I said that.My Z2 is 11.7.
You're saying the 314-3 is smaller?
