Panther ZD-X

The Panther ZD-X addresses all the design flaws of older Valley models, improving on design features to maximize playability and product longevity.

  • Innovative corner castings coupled with the newly designed rail cap moldings produce a smooth, to-the-rail design that eliminates “snag points” for hands, cues and clothing.
  • New cushion rails eliminate T-nut dead spots and are more securely attached to the top rail for livelier, more consistent bank shots and play.
  • Dual-density cushion rail rubber is designed for shot accuracy over maximum bounce that never dulls over years of usage.
  • Flush-mount corner castings and pocket liners eliminate the need to elevate one’s cue, allowing for easier, more accurate shots around the pockets.
  • Teflon Ultra cloth plays faster, wears longer and looks better than traditional woolen cloth.
  • Aramith Cougar cue ball is perfectly balanced and is the same weight and size as the object balls, meeting BCA specifications.
  • Optional bill acceptor feature takes one, five, ten, or twenty dollar bills, saving players from having to line up at the bar to get change and allows you to keep your cash in the register.
