Well I just got my Cuetec carbon fiber shaft , I have to say the moment I put my eyes on it I liked the look smooth as silk look no checkering nice look with the white ferrule,
The hit much more like a regular shaft no ping something I don't like with the Revo
It's seems to play better on the edges with spin where I might have a miss cue with the Revo this shaft sticks like clue ,,
Over all I'm really liking it better than the Revo and I never thought I see the day where I'd pic a Cuetec over anything but they simply hit a home run with this shaft

For the life of me I can't get used to the ferrule now that I've used the Revo for so long. I can't get used to it yet.

I haven't spent a lot of time with the REVO, but I have with the Becue. I won't make a comparison, but I think there are differences between the hit and feel of the carbon fiber shafts that are currently available.

What you mentioned above were things I immediately noticed about the Becue. There was no ping, nor any kind or weird noise.

Secondly, it seemed to "hang on to the cue ball" when you were playing the very edges...something that a lot of other cues have a hard time doing for some reason. I would first think it was the tip, but I have the same tips on some of my other cues and I feel much more "confident" hitting the edges with the Becue.

The Becue seems to "hug" the cue ball better than a wood shaft.
 
The Cuetec has a little better, more solid hit than my Revo 12.9's... and play just about the same.
 
Lol that 0 to do with the shaft and everything to do with the tip. Lol but I’m glad you like it . I’m hoping to hit with it at the expo this year.

It was so much already said and written about Revos...so many threads. I guess now there will be as many reviews about other c.f. shafts appeared on the market.
I've already written before that I had my two hours of testing Revo 12.9 and I was impressed a lot. Of course two hours is very little time but I know for sure what I did like very much about it. For me it's pretty easy to tell the difference and which shaft to choose for certain preferences. From my experience and that is 20 years of playing... mostly with solid maple shafts and now with built by myself no ferrule LD shaft... I can tell Revo is the stiffest playing shaft with such pro-taper, weight and balance...and with lowest deflection. I had not experience to ever try a stiffer shaft with same deflection, taper, weight and so on. I won't tell anything about feel, sound blah, blah...because that is all personal preferences. So here my opinion which c.f. shaft to choose.
If for you...the stiffer the shaft the better and that is in pair with may be the lowest deflection then from my experience for the time being Revo is the best candidate.
If you like first of all softer hitting shafts with more flexibility in them and very close or the same low deflection then Becue Prime-M or Cuetec Cynergy are your choices.
The great thing about what is happening ... now you have several c.f. shafts to choose from and very soon there will be more with Mezz ignite and Jacoby. This is only those manufacturers which are already known. There are some more for example Go Customs c.f. shafts which seem to be also popular ...I've seen a lot on FB and there are c.f. shafts from Germany ...United c.f. shafts. So you already have enough choices and there will be more I believe. Sooner or later they become just a common piece of equipment and once the market is fed up with this "revolutional" stuff hopefully the prices go down to a certain degree and we won't see such crazy things on a secondary market with those cosmic prices;)
For the time being after I've seen Cuetec Cynergy at Seyberts for 399$ ...if they succeed in offering it in different joint options together with extra length they may become a leader in this competition for a certain period because if it is really quality shaft which I believe so with at least 100$ difference in price in comparison with the other manufacturers then it may become a deciding factor for many customers.
 
Good post. I’ve seen some people making fun of other cue companies for following predator. Monkey see monkey do. Well yeah! They are in business! If you see a competitor is making something that’s popular and they can’t keep up with demand it’s in your best interest to get your own product out there. Especially in a tough business like this. I don’t think they will ever take the place of wood shafts. That would be silly. They are just a different option and they do have a unique hit all to there own.

I'm not any kind of a fan of Predator but out of all their shafts I tried I can tell Revo is the first shaft which made me wanna have one. There are only some stopping factors such as the thing is available only in 29", only two joints, still have to look where to find especially if you are from such country as Ukraine and may be I'm already too old knowing the value of certain things and their contribution at the end to pay some crazy price from second hand like that 17 y.o. player did (thank him for possibility to test it:wink:).
What I must admit in this case with Revos the success is not only because of Predator being so good at marketing. Yes there were composite shafts made earlier but Predator is first company which managed to make so many people wanna have one and after trying it I understand why. I did not have possibility to try any earlier versions of c.f. shafts but I don't believe they were any close to Revos in performance and such smooth feel. I believe Predator first of all succeed in offering the great product which so many open minded people did like and had much fun with it. I don't believe if the product was not as good in performance in the first place there was not so much craziness and demand for them and so many people ready to pay much more on the secondary market. To tell the truth I just don't understand all these haters complaining about this and that. We now live in a free world when you are totally free to choose what you want and that is great to have a choice. There is only one person in this world I totally rely on when it comes to choose something and to do so I don't believe to any ads of any brands. For me it is always a very simple formula if I want to have my own opinion I have to try the thing on my own especially when it comes to such subjective things like in this case the shaft. Of course experience and knowledge are also of great help but in many cases the opportunity to try in practice is a must.

It's weird that CueTech decided NOT to offer the uni-loc joint first, since Revo and Prime M have. So now that I'm all set up to use a uni-loc butt, I'm not going to buy the Cynergy 15K in a joint different than uni-loc.

I've been looking for the CueTech carbon fiber in uni-loc, if anyone is aware of someone selling them, please let me know.
