If you want to establish an absolute monopoly over the green felt, your gear needs to reflect that ambition. The Predator Throne 3-1 Pool Cue (THRONE31) is the definitive manifestation of competitive dominance, architectural brilliance, and aesthetic luxury. As part of Predator’s highly anticipated third-generation Throne Series, this masterpiece is designed explicitly for players who refuse to compromise on precision or prestige.

With a striking combination of highly polished exotic woods, a structurally reinforced core, and cutting-edge low-deflection technology, this cue does not merely assist your game—it commands the entire room. When you step up to the table with the THRONE31, your opponents will realize they are playing for second place.

The Sovereign Design: Artistry Meets Elite Craftsmanship

The exterior of the Predator Throne 3-1 is nothing short of a visual masterpiece. Every material selection, inlay pattern, and metallic accent has been chosen to deliver an aura of absolute royalty.

Premium Exotic Woods & Majestic Inlays

The core aesthetic of the THRONE31 centers around a rich, deep Ebony Forearm and Butt Sleeve. This premium wood provides a dense, dark canvas that beautifully contrasts with the intricate inlay work. Alternating seamlessly across the forearm are points of highly figured Snakewood and Cocobolo, framed beautifully by clean Micarta accents.

Rose Gold Alloy & Duotone Brilliance

What truly elevates the Throne 3-1 into a class of its own is its striking metallic hardware. The cue features meticulously placed duotone rings consisting of clean Micarta and brilliant Rose Gold Alloy.

• The Engraving: A custom Rose Gold Alloy crown engraving rests elegantly just above the buttcap.

• The Pin: The Uni-Loc® joint pin features a premium Rose Gold Balinit coating, providing unparalleled wear resistance and a beautiful metallic flash whenever the cue is unjointed.

• Accent Elements: Triple Rose Gold accent rings divide the segments of the cue, tying together a design language that looks as exquisite under tournament lights as it does in a private collection.

Engineered Dominance: The C4-Plus Cored Technology

While the exterior commands attention, it is the internal engineering that secures your victory. The Predator Throne 3-1 is built on the foundation of Predator’s patented C4-Plus Construction, a revolutionary design that has redefined how high-end cues feel and perform.

1. Exceptional Straightness with a 4-Piece Core

Standard pool cues are vulnerable to structural shifting over time due to humidity, temperature, and repeated impact stress. The C4-Plus construction mitigates this entirely by splicing four perfectly calibrated pieces of premium hard rock maple together. This multi-piece core configuration ensures a perfectly straight, stable platform that eliminates structural warping over years of heavy play.

2. Greater Radial Consistency and Stability

Traditional cues often rely on a long, threaded metal weight bolt to join the forearm and the handle components. This can introduce a structural weak point and uneven weight distribution. The C4-Plus system eliminates the need for this traditional weight bolt. By fusing the internal core, the energy travels smoothly from the tip straight through to your hand, yielding an unbelievably solid, uniform hit on every single shot.

3. Phenolic Reinforcement for Longevity

Phenolic resin is one of the strongest materials used in cue manufacturing. Predator surrounds the quick-release joint pin with a dense Phenolic core rather than letting it sit directly in the wood. This architectural upgrade minimizes wood movement in the highest-stress area of your cue, guaranteeing absolute concentricity for the lifetime of your equipment.

Tactical Comfort: The Leather Luxe™ Wrap

A slip of the hand can change the trajectory of an entire tournament. To ensure your grip remains flawlessly stable under high-pressure scenarios, Predator has outfitted the Throne 3-1 with their premium Leather Luxe™ Wrap.

This wrap is engineered with three distinct layers designed to work together cohesively:

1. The Surface Layer: Exceptionally soft to the touch, providing a comfortable, tacky grip that feels more natural than traditional pressed leather.

2. The Core Moisture-Absorbing Layer: Intentionally handles hand sweat, pulling moisture away from the surface during intense matches.

3. The Protective Base Barrier: Seals the moisture completely out, preventing any oils or sweat from seeping down into the high-performance maple handle underneath.

Complete Customization: Tailor Your Throne

The Throne 3-1 is a highly modular performance system. Depending on your personal style, table preferences, and spin requirements, you can pair this premium butt with Predator’s industry-leading low-deflection shafts.

Shaft Compatibility & Options

• Predator 314-3: The absolute benchmark for low-deflection wood shafts, offering an optimal balance of forgiveness and classic feel.

• Predator Z-3: Featuring a sleeker, quicker taper for players who demand extreme spin, quick tip reaction, and surgical precision.

• Predator Vantage: Designed for maximum stiffness and high-velocity energy transfer, offering great physical durability.

• Predator REVO® Carbon Fiber: The pinnacle of modern cue sports technology. Constructed from aerospace-grade carbon fiber composites, the REVO shaft offers zero warping, an ultra-smooth finish, and a highly consistent low-deflection performance at both low and high speeds.

Calibrated Weight Adjustments

Out of the box, the Throne 3-1 arrives at a perfectly balanced standard weight of 19 ounces. However, because table conditions and personal preferences vary, the cue features the Uni-Loc® Adjustable Weight Cartridge System. Using a specialized key and weight stack (sold separately), you can adjust the weight of your cue in precise 0.10-ounce increments ranging all the way from 18.5 ounces up to 20.5 ounces. This level of precise calibration allows you to dial in your balance point perfectly.
