Hi,
I purchased a 314.2 uniloc Predator shaft via internet to:
Billiard Master
Polígono Industrial La Dehesilla, Nave 7
10200, Trujillo, Cáceres
Spain
The shaft I purchased is QUITE crooked! It is so bent that the gap is about 80 mm between the tip of the shaft and the middle of it.
The shaft was not packaged in a rigid box, so there might have been a problem during the transport. But, is it the only reason? Not sure.
It is thus impossible to me to use the shaft!
I took pictures of the shaft; it is possible to see them here:

I am playing with a 314.2 and a Z2 shaft for years and it appears that the color of the wood is so different. See the link above; the new crooked shaft that I received (between my two other predator shafts) is much more wit than my prior shafts.

Another thing: the little black line on the uniloc system is highlighted. It is not so on my other shafts, where the black line is smooth.
Just wondering, because it is so bizarre to see a predator shaft wich is so crooked :-(
I still prefer to play with a broom
If someone is interested by the shaft, I let it for 200€ ... The tip is quite new!
