Cuetec Cynergy Carbon Fiber Shaft Review

[@shanewhatley7579]

I've been playing for 20 years now..and the cuetec cynergy shaft is the best shaft I've ever played with.. I love mine!

[@Joseph-xi5bt]

Took me a few months to get used too. A really consistent hit. Efficient power transfer, great feel/feedback. Elevated my game i would say 20-30%.

[@fishblade2]

I’m not a great player but I tried many carbon fiber shafts out and ended up going with the cuetec mostly because it had a solid hit and because of the large white ferrule. I personally never could really get used to having no white pad or ferrule, but I will say from my personal experience the Revo is different than all of them just due to the fact that I immediately noticed on slower spin shots that you had to judge for swirl instead of squirt because of how little the Cue ball deflected. But I will also say that it seems to be all by itself compared to others due to the fact that the deflection is so little that swerve has to be taken into account as well as the fact that I found myself over cutting many of my balls dude is being induced throw that was greater with that Q than any of my other carbon fiber shafts. I didn’t like it but it definitely is different.

i own a Cynergye 12,5MM, Ignite en GO shaft (12,4). I love all three of them. They each have their pro's and cons. Power wise the Ignite has most power and accuracy but also hardest to control, The cynergy has more feel but a little less power (still a lot though), the GO shaft has the best sound and plays kinda similar to the cynergy. If you can put in the hours to master the ignite that would/is my choice of shaft. I you have less time or playing on super fast cloth the GO or Cynergy would be the better choice. Just my 2 cents...... :-)

Love the tip at the beginning,hope you continue to do so.im sure you will hit 5k subscribers soon,many thxs and good luck.

I recently switched from a revo to a Cynergy 11.8 and I love it. I love my Z3 but didn't want to she'll out another 500 for an 11.8 so ended up trading my 12.4 Revo for 11.8 Cynergy. I'm loving it and feels much better to me then the Revo. Also could be it's smaller diameter too

[@CueListings]

The Cynergy is a very good shaft. Good call. If you love it, stick with it. There is no point in keep chasing new and "better" shafts all the time. Naturally, if they come out with something new and exciting - it _can_ be interesting to switch.

[@mikemichaels1509]

i did the same thing....switched from revo to cynergy...never looked back

[@jaynosowsky9708]

I agree the revo hit sounds horrible and it's too stiff...I couldn't get past the sound....predator spend some extra money and fill it with foam!!!!! everyone else is!!!

[@MagicMikeBilliards]

@@CueListings Do you like the revo or cuetec better? I like revo better personally bc of lower deflection. What about you?

[@wdiddy1]

100% agree with you that all quality made carbon fiber shafts are about the same, I switched from maple to carbon only because I hate feeling small dents in the wood shafts, otherwise I would have not changed. Even my 25 year old maple shaft was fine to play with, I don't really notice much difference in playability. No adjustment period for me, I bought a Mezz cue with the Ignite shaft.

[@CueListings]

Yea, as pool players we are prone to changes in the equipment (table, cloth, pockets, tips, cues)...and it can effect your game for a little while. However, once you crack the CF code..you won't go back!

[@bigrichreptiles0272]

i have the 11.8 shaft with the svb ghost cue eith kamui tan clear tip soft i love it

Beautiful shot at 4:00

I have had mine a year. Love it!

[@CueListings]

Hi Alexander! Thanks for the feedback! Which model you got?

[@chewacan]

@@CueListings Cynergy 15k

[@CueListings]

@@chewacan Good choice imo!

[@fishblade2]

I tried many different carbon fiber shafts and I agree that they are all similar except for the Revo that shaft is on a different field than the rest not saying it’s better I’m just saying that it is different. I noticed many more over cut shots due to spin induced throw that was greater would spend being transferred more by the shaft but the worst thing for me was I noticed that with any slower span shots you had to adjust for swerve more than squirt.

[@CueListings]

Hi, by "spin induced throw", are you thinking about squirt/defelction? If so, my experience is that most LD wooden and carbon fiber shafts have pretty much the same (low) deflection.

[@fishblade2]

@@CueListings sorry I meant to say cut induced throw. The increased spin produced from revo usually over cut my shots compared to any other carbon fiber shaft I used.

[@CueListings]

@@fishblade2 I hear you. We have to give credit to Predator for bringing us the Revo shafts, but others were in their slipstream, and have now surpassed them.

[@brianfinley9212]

Yes great position play tips

[@CueListings]

Thank you, Brian!

Thank you, John. Your kind words are much appreciated!

[@manoncote23]

Revo or cuetec ?Which one are the best? Its Nice to see you clear the table,look like its so easy

[@CueListings]

I got lucky :D You ask a difficult question. Revo or Cynergy (Cuetec). What about other brands? Check out the playlist with multiple brands being reviewed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYHRaoJ9Z6-ge5o You can also get a full cue WITH a carbon fiber shaft for just $300! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5ito42kf65np7c Options are many, so Revo or Cynergy? Hmm...my answer would be Ignite or Go-Customs :D It depends on what you are looking for in a shaft. Can you tell me some more?

[@safimohammad9824]

What about Pechaure rogue shaft...

Thank you, sir! :)

[@anthonyvaughn7988]

Best CF shaft is the Viking Siege hands down better than revo and 15k for sure

[@marcrichard7741]

how to decide on black or white ferrule on carbon fiber shaft

[@cungifungi]

I would like to add in on the shot in the intro where you played the 6 to follow 1 rail for the 7. Maybe it is just personal preference, but I would keep a high angle on the 6 to go 2 rails into the line of the 7. What do you think?

[@CueListings]

Hi there. Do you mean when I shot the 6 in the very first rack (the tip)? If so, I did not use any rails when I made the 6. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYHRaoJ9Z6-ge5o I am probably misunderstanding your question?

[@CueListings]

Or did you mean this 6 ball? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYHRaoJ9Z6-ge5o If so, yes - you can def play as you said, but I had a little too much angle to go down to the short rail and back out into the angle again.

[@cungifungi]

@@CueListings yes, it is that shot. What I said is that there is an alternative on how to play the 6 to the 7 by stunning off the 5 in order to get a high angle on the 6 ball to send it 2 rails into the line of the 7. What do you think of this shot as an alternative to the one you shot on the video? Thanks

[@cungifungi]

@@CueListings timestamp is 1:30

[@M4QQX_111]

is this 12.5 or 11.8 tip ?

[@MrWARGODS]

Will you please give more details on getting positions using the natural cue ball pAth and getting position in general?

[@CueListings]

Hey! Thanks for posting your question. And, boy did you pick an important subject! In my humble opinion, this is key to simplifying the game. Once you learn to play using the natural cue ball path, the game suddenly seems way easier to "master". First, you need to practice understanding what is actually the cue ball's natural path (learn about the tangent line to understand that). Then, you need to practice your speed control. Once in a while, you may need to adjust the angle using some sidespin, but most often you'll find that the angles are doing the job for you. Now, running an entire rack using only natural angles won't happen too often. However, you should always try to leave your cue ball in a position where you've identified that your next shot will then be using the natural angle to get you to where you need to be. Sometimes it may mean that the shot is slightly more difficult (compared to a straight-in shot), but it's well worth the extra effort since it greatly enhances your chances of running the rack. Check out this simple drill I am using myself on this topic. I rarely do drills, but I find this one useful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5K1Z4SKeteNirc

[@glennpatrickdeguzman2339]

A very informative vid! 👍 Wish I had your cueball-handling skill! 😊 I’m a casual pool player and I’ve never used low-deflection (LD) or carbon fibre shafts, just hardwood pool cue. If I was to upgrade to an LD shaft, do you suggest I get an LD wood shaft first (since, I’m assuming, feedback is better since I’m used to hardwood cue) OR should I just go for a carbon fibre (less maintenance, warp and ding resistant, etc)?

[@CueListings]

Hi Glenn. Thank you for the kind words! In regards to your question; "Should I go to LD wood or a carbon fiber shaft from a traditional hardwood shaft?" My clear recommendation would be; go directly to a carbon fiber shaft. If you chose the correct one, the feeling, sound, and hit will be very similiar to a wooden shaft. However, a carbon fiber shaft is WAY more durable, it does not warp and it keeps its consistency over time. Wooden shafts can warp, get dings and behave differently depending on the conditions in the pool hall.

[@glennpatrickdeguzman2339]

Thanks for the sound advice, @@CueListings. Straight to CF shaft it is! 👍

[@CueListings]

@@glennpatrickdeguzman2339 Good luck with that! I'd recommend taking a look at JFlowers. They offer 4-5 models at just $300 for a full cue including a carbon fiber shaft! www.jflowerscues.com

[@frazierg0325]

I need advice on how to get 9 ball spreads like that.

[@CueListings]

Practise your break a loooooot. SvB once said he practiced nothing but the break for 8 hours per day. I'm guessing Fedor did the same. It's not luck that they are 2 of the best breakers in the world.

[@markarmstrong5837]

Good cue

[@alifaraj3587]

Hello I just wanted to know will the cynergy shaft fit a peri butt perfectly

[@CueListings]

I was using a Meucci in the test - but my guess is that it will fit 98-99% perfect on a Peri. If you want 100%, you can wait 6 weeks for the Peri Carbon Fiber shaft to be released ;)

[@alifaraj3587]

Ohh great news I thought peri only released 500 carbon break cues. What great news can’t wait for the cf peri shaft thanks man appreciate it

[@CueListings]

@@alifaraj3587 My pleasure. They should have it at www.pericues.com when it's launched

Alright man would be great to see a review of it to once it’s launched for sale

[@juliushiya]

Cuetec is good because of large white ferrule..

[@CueListings]

I think the white ferrule is a smart touch. It helps with aiming.
