Going to try CF, any suggestions?

Jason thanks for that reply. You say you have a number of CF shafts. Can you say, rate the top 3 you like best and why? I'd like to have a pro taper, 12.3 to 12.5 mm tip and when you say "plays closer to wood", my objective is to not have the CF shaft have a thin, hollow, "tink" sound when striking the CB, or at least not a real pronounced sound/feel like this. The combo wood/CF shafts intrigue me.
So, you will want to stay away from Revos for sure. My suggestion would be still Cynergy or Meucci. One possible caveat is that the ferrule is larger on the Meucci: https://www.meuccicues.com/products/carbon-pro

Depending on what wood shaft you have now, that might not be an issue, but it's something to consider.

JFlowers SMO would also be a good choice if they make one to fit your joint.

I personally prefer the Rhino to the Raven CF shafts, but there's not a lot of difference. That said, I'm not a fan of the stock tip on the Rhinos. I have not shot with either the Raven Pro or the Rhino Must, so I can't comment on those.

People seem to love the Jacoby shafts, so that would probably be a good choice, I just don't have any experience with them.

I haven't shot with a Centro, but I have had a McDermott i-2 for ~20 years. The Centro is basically the same as far as I remember. They are great shafts and look and play like wood with the LD benefits of the carbon core.

Based on what I have played, I'd probably recommend the following top 3 for CF for you:

1. JFlowers SMO
2. Cynergy
3. Meucci

I'd probably put the i-2 in between the SMO and the Cynergy.

Justin Bergman is on a mission

He'll need to place well at one of those three events to have a chance at the Mosconi team. He's been skipping the domestic ranking events and international events, which puts him at a disadvantage.

Also, thank you for sharing this information, but I think it would be better without the sloppy AI analysis intro.
“This isn’t just about participation. It’s about dominance, consistency, and putting himself right in the middle of every meaningful conversation in the sport”

This sentence in particular has all the hallmarks of AI generated language.

Justin Bergman is on a mission

LONG overdue.... somebody, finally got into his head. (y)
Good to see, but he might have to play in a few international events to rack enough points. We'll see if he's willing to travel. He hasn't so far.
Unfortunately a little late in life. What he wants to start doing at 39 years old is quite a bit different than what he’s been doing for over 20 years now.
He's already show this year he can play with the best. Age is not an issue. He is in good condition.
JB and Johan back in Team USA. We are going to win the MOSCONI!
Let's not get carried away!
Heard this same song and dance from Mike Dechaine not too long ago, hopefully Bergman fares better.
Deschaine never signed up for any big WNT or Predator events. Last time he played in the US Open was in 2016.
This is wonderful news, as to this point, just the opposite has been true. The Mosconi points race runs from November to November, so it is nearly half over, and Justin has zero Mosconi ranking points at present.
The good news for Bergman is that nobody has a lot of points. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EPBSKqyrc/

The bad new is, points won't be easy to come by. My guess is, he is really playing for a wild card.

Shelby Williams Stunner!

Maybe the hottest cuemaker right now. This Shelby is an awesome example of his work. Ebony into gorgeous Olivewood and an ebony handle. Tons of inlay work. Very rare inlaid ring work on the shafts.
