    Hey Cuetec, please make a Cynergy CF shaft in 12.25mm-12.3mm

    Would really like to see Cuetec add a new shaft size to their Cynergy shaft line. A 12.20mm-12.30mm would be a great mid point between the current 12.5 and 11.8 offerings. I have been using a Jacoby Black V4 12.3mm for a few months and really like it. I know Jacoby offers a V4 with the Cuetec...

    Anyone using a Jacoby Black V4 shaft with a Cuetec butt??

I messaged Cuetec a few months ago asking if they might be making a 12.20-12.25mm Cynergy but the answer was no...

    Rhino break shaft: current opinions??

    I'm thinking of buying a Rhino break shaft. I have a Koda butt with the 5/16x18 pin that I'm not using, so considering making it a break cue. Have been using a Players PureX and I like it but the 14mm shaft is feeling really "fat". I did a search and didn't see anything posted within the past...

    Considering a carbon fiber shaft for my Adam cue. Brands to look at??

    I have an Adam cue that I purchased (I believe) in the early to mid-90's. We bought our table in late '91 so it would have been after that. I am thinking about getting a carbon fiber shaft for it. I have recently been playing with a JFlowers cue with a 12.5mm CF shaft and really like it. I've...
