Played with both shafts on the same butt. Revo 12.4. Cynergy 12.5. Both shafts got a sniper tip. So comparing apples to apples. Not looking to start a big thread just thought if anyone is interested in this sort of thing feel free to ask questions.
Were you able to feel a noticeable difference between the two?
No more questions? Ok, nevermind.
I would be interested to know how Cynergy compares to Jacoby Black. The latter is my preferred CF shaft atm so any information is gratefully received. Don't like the "ding" sound of the Revo, not my cuppa tea.
Predator makes their REVO in a small facility outside Boston. The only shafts made there are REVOS. Lucasi cues are made in same Chinese factory as Predators, Universal, ADAM and others. The wood shafts are made there but not the cf.I was talking to a local mechanic and billards supply owner about these shafts.
What i got out of the conversation is that all the manufactures of pool cues are getting these shafts from 3 different suppliers. Ok, good ,and very good quality are the difference amoung the 3 suppliers making the blanks.
Then our big name cue makers buying them putting there logo on them setting there price.
According to meachnic cue tech will control the market because this year drop there price $299.
Force higher price cue makers out of the market these type of shafts.
He said the same thing happen when muli piece ld shafts came out.
Predator and lucasi. Same thing different logo.
I have only played with the revo not the cue tech.
It was ok. Not for me.
Just my 2 cents.
Mechanic could have been full of it. Just curious if any one else herd this.
Of course in my thinking, if you want a shaft with the hit and play-ability of a maple LD shaft why spend double the price on a CF shaft that just copies the hit of a maple shaft. I like my CF shafts to actually have some difference.
Do you think you pocket balls with the REVO better is because you have used it for a year
And subconsciously have adapted to its deflection?
