So I picked up a radial Cuetec Cynergy shaft... have a couple of radial butts to try it on... plays darn good.
I have a friend with a starkey. cf shaft and have hit some (not a lot) with a revo.
The starkey felt the stiffest (hands down) even with the soft tip that is on it. Not a bad thing, just a little different.
The Cuetec feels solid and confidence inspiring... does exactly what I tell it to do.
I don’t really have enough time with a revo to make a good comparison, but my recollection was good, but a little hollow feeling.
I’m pleased with my choice.

Svb would do well with a cue bought at walmart and I doubt anyone commenting is any where near his level of play.
Not a player of cuetecs but I wouldn’t say they make shit quality. Shit quality would be meucci who shipped out cues already warped or terrible finish. Cuetec just makes an inexpensive cue.
This line of thinking seems to be what most people believe, but it really doesn't make much sense. "Efren could run out with a broom stick". Yes, I could see Efren running a relatively simple rack with any piece of wood, but he would be limited to center ball.
World class players can make the game seem easy and could play decent with any cue. However, they can not simply pick up any cue and play world class level pool. Being able to use spin unconsciously, and playing pin point position, consistently while under pressure, requires pros to be completely in tune with their equipment, and have equipment that doesn't have limitations.
World class players aren't super human. They rely on specialized equipment to play their best, even more so than amateurs. Amateurs simply overestimate how much the equipment contributes to their playing strength.
Svb played with and off the rack Cuetec r360 shaft ... real specialized lol
Maybe "specific" would be a better word choice. Either way, what I mean is that pros rely on certain qualities in their equipment. It doesn't mean the equipment itself needs to be special. Equipment doesn't need to be expensive or customized for a pro to get used to it and play really well with it. But that doesn't mean ANY equipment will work for him. It just so happens that a cheap standard cuetech works for Shane. Why people take that to mean that he can play the same with anything, doesn't make any sense. A standard shaft with deflection would completely ruin his game.
Ya after he sorted thru 100 of them lolSvb played with and off the rack Cuetec r360 shaft ... real specialized lol
I think they can adapt pretty quickly.
I personally know you are correct, from hockey sticks, baseball gloves , ping pong paddles, to golf clubs and pool sticks,, it all matters and it's long been a fallacy you can't buy a better game because you can that's simply a fact ,proven on every level time and time againAgain, for some reason we have this perception that these people are super human. Every shaft deflects different, gets different amounts of spin, different swerve, and you think that pros get used to all of those variables in their equipment over night? So much so, they could be in the finals of the US Open and hit any shot under that amount of pressure?
Watch the TAR video with John Schmidt and Corey Deuel, where John talks about how switching shafts ruined his game for 2 years, until finally he got used to it. He goes on to give an example of a top pro golfer that only changed the grip on his putter and it ruined his game.
Comfort with equipment is absolutely essential to be able to play pool at a high level, and changes to what you're comfortable with aren't easy to adjust to, for anybody. When you are in tune with your equipment, it's like the cue is an extension of your arm, and you can trust that it will do whatever you want it to do. Changing even something small can throw your confidence off and then you start consciously thinking about things you never had to before.
