My Review - Cuetec SVB Ghost Edition

[@ronthepoolstudent]

Nice review. I recently purchased the Cuetec Synergy Breach break cue and love it. This was my first ever Cuetec cue. I’m very impressed with the quality of the Cuetec. I also like what I’m hearing here with this shooting cue and I’m sure it’s a great cue for players. Thanks for taking the time to put together this review 👍🏻

[@pocketedyoutube]

Hi Ron! Happy you like it; same here, back in the days I guess, Cuetec hasn‘t had the best reputation. Other than being a good entry level cue. Of course cues are a very individual thing. I really like them, how they play, how they feel, the design and the quality. Of course cues can be manufactured to a higher standard etc, yet I am really impressed how reliable and consistent they play. At least for me. Enjoy!

[@NickOfNight]

Great review! Thank you! I am planning to buy a new cue and torn between JFlowers and Cuetec… after watching this, i’d go with Cuetec! Thanks!

Hallo ich habe eine Frage an dich wo kaufst du deine Cuetec Cues ? Ich will mir nähmlich auch einen Cuetec Avid Cue kaufen L.G. Jovan ps ich Wohne im 23ten Bezirk du bist nicht weit weg von mir vieleicht können wir ja mal mit einander spielen 😅

Nice review! Do you have any experience with the AVID shaft? Still playing with a 20+ years old cue and want to upgrade to a newer modern one with weight system and a LD-Shaft - thought about the Chroma Abysss with AVID shaft. Do you think it's wasted money and I should wait and purchase the more expensive one? Cheers

[@pocketedyoutube]

Hi there! Thanks a lot, appreciate the kind words! Yes, I played the Avid shaft, and I also liked it a lot. Skyler Woodward also plays with it, I think. As with many things in Pool, its all about personal preference. The Avid shaft is also very low deflection, yet it also depends what tip you wanna use on how it will play (as with Carbon shafts too). So, my 2 cents, you would not go completely wrong with an Avid shaft for sure! Personally I am just a fan of Carbon Shafts in general, and of course of my Cynergy 15K shaft in particular.

[@spartazion69420]

Hey man, iv'e been thinking about getting this awsome looking cue from cuetec, shoutout to them for making it so good, but im stuck on the 11.8mm and 12.5mm diameter shaft, is there a big difference beetwen the two and what do you recommend?

[@pocketedyoutube]

Hi there! Yep, there is a big difference! Both shafts produce a huge amount of power and control, yet the 11,8 additionally allows you to put that bit of more extra spin if you want to! I personally use the 12,5mm shaft, because its a bit more forgiving if I do not hit the cueball as accurately as intended. Hope this helps

how about the deflection of this cue compare to some wooden cue (with technology of course) ?

[@pocketedyoutube]

Hard to give an appropriate answer, cause there are so many different wooden shafts out there. But in general I would say, the 15K shaft is very similar when it comes to deflection to a wooden shaft, although being a low deflection shaft.

I just bought this cue the other day, played with it for 2 days, now trying to break it down and put in my case to leave and it will NOT unscrew!! I've been playing my whole life, had Many cues and have never had this happen before. Any ideas on how I can get this thing to break down? I'm about to take it back and get a different one, this is crazy! Need help, please. Thanks

[@pocketedyoutube]

Hi there! Oh, thats weird, never heard of anything like this before, be it a Cuetec cue or any other cue from another brand. It sounds completely stupid maybe from my side, but are sure you turn into the right direction? Its like the question, if you turned on power supply on your computer… If so, and it still does not open, maybe get a second person, one holding the shaft, the other the butt, and unscrew then. I never had any of these problems with any of my Cuetec or any other cues. And, you do not need to tighten the cue super hard as well when you put it together. I am sorry that I cannot help more from my side, but I hope it helps a bit! Please let me know how it turned out!

@@pocketedyoutube yes I'm turning it the right direction. Even took a few of my other cues apart to make sure because it was driving me crazy. I did not tighten this down super tight either.

What model does Fedor Gorst play with? Thank you

[@pocketedyoutube]

Hi! He plays with an Cuetec Ebony with Wrap butt (as far as I know) with a Cuetec Cynergy shaft. Fedor is known to tweak a lot on his cues, be it the weight, or swapping the standard ferrule to a carbon one (in the past) etc. So it might be slightly modified version of the one available to us.

[@albert333pool]

@@pocketedyoutube Where can I buy that version?

[@pocketedyoutube]

@@albert333pool You can find your nearest Cuetec dealer here: www.cuetec.com/dealer-locator/

[@RyanADillon]

For those who buy the cue now, they've cut down the packaging quality a lot. It's now a black cardboard type box with no foam padding in it. They include around 10 wipes now, not the 20+ seen in this video. The packaging difference is quite huge and disappointing.

[@M4QQX_111]

Do you mean that 11.8 tip is for advanced players and 12.5 for beginners or not very professional?

[@pocketedyoutube]

No, I would not differentiate it like this; in my opinion, 11,8 allows for more spin application and accuracy, but requires also more accuracy from the player when striking the cueball. 12,5 limits you a bit if you seek a high amount of spin application, but allows players to be a bit more inaccurate when hitting the cueball. At the end, its just up to personal preference. Since my accuracy is lacking, due to limitations in my practice time, I prefer the 12,5. just a great overall shaft. But this should not and does not take away anything from the great 11,8 shaft!

[@JNG289]

Been playing Pool for about 7 Months and I really Like this cue. But I dont know If this cue is too much for my kind of Level right know. But If I buy a cue Like this I would be good for a looong time. Really dont know what to do. Maybe someone can give His opinion

[@pocketedyoutube]

Tough one (opinion wise); at the beginning its more important to have the right people around you showing you technique etc. Yet, learning it right away with a proper cue (whatever brand) never hurt no one.

[@dzavelion]

"I'm not a professional player I like this shaft gives me a little bit a leeway and I don't have to be that precise" what does that mean??

[@pocketedyoutube]

The 11,8 shaft is smaller, hence, if you are not precise on placing your tip on the cueball you either apply unwanted spin or too much spin on the cueball. The 12,5 is bigger, so its a bit generous, so you can make a small placement error with your tip on the cueball now and then and still get away with it. But the 11,8 on the other hand, allows you to put more spin on the cueball. So, its a trade off, working on your stroke fundamentals is helpful - in any case, so you are able to deliver the cue onto to cueball precisely

[@TheNuggzt3r]

I started with a 40€ cue...then after about a year upgraded to a 200€ cue and now again after 1 year I'm thinking about another upgrade 😰 The problem is the player and not the cue. A good player can play with any wooden stick and win against me BUT it's just fun to get something new and something better. I want a good cue that doesn't "need" to be upgraded anymore, that can last a lifetime and doesn't cost a fortune. I think this might be it. Yeah it's not a Revo but considering my skill level buying this Cuetec is probably already a bit dumb. No need to spend even more money.

[@pocketedyoutube]

Agree, at the end its all about the player. But a good low-deflection shaft carbon shaft at least helps you to play more consistent. The influence of humidity, temperature on a carbon shaft is significantly lower than on a wooden shaft. And due to the minimalistic design on the SVB edition, the price for this high-end cue is more than fair. Considering all this, and how it plays, is the reason why Cuetec cues are my go to‘s when it comes to choosing a stick

11.8 or 12.5?

[@pocketedyoutube]

If you mean whats played in the video, its 12,5mm. If you ask me what I prefer, it‘s 12,5mm - just because it allows me not to aim perfectly precise all the time. Simply, cause I am not a pro. But the 11,8mm shaft is just awesome, especially applying spin. At the end, it comes down to personal preference I guess

[@Joseph-xi5bt]

@@pocketedyoutube been playing with the ghost 11.8 for about a year now. I get what you mean about beknf precise. When i do those power draw shots and i go just a hair beyond the miscue limit, i will definitely miscue. And when i dont focus on tip placement and put unintentional side spin, the 11.8 puts so much unintentional side spin, i miss the ball by a mile. Getting the hang of it. The 11.8 has its advantages once you’re used to it and you practice being very precise with your tip placement. Most top pros play with thicker shafts though. I think chris melling plays with cynergy 11.8.
