    Cuetec Avid: fiberglass still?!

    Well, the cynergy deflects very little, definitly less than 314/3. I played it for more than two years. But Revo and Ignite deflect a bit less than the cynergy. What I wanted to say is: The weight that you can measure and the balance point are in no way related to deflection, just to be clear...

    Best hitting cue you ever played with.

    Meucci 88-1 with Mezz' WX Sigma and modified EX Pro. 19,0 oz, slighty back balanced and perfect feel to me. Very neutral performance and lively feedback.

    Cuetec Avid: fiberglass still?!

    Carbon shaft are both: stiff and pretty heavy, it's not true that the carbon shaft are stiff + light. One of the mostly known examples is the cynergy shaft from cuetec. I have a cynergy standard length with the 3/8x11 thread and the weight is 107 gr., and this is absololutely not light weight...

    Cuetec Avid: fiberglass still?!

    I ow one Avid cue, and I know also about the traditional way Cuetec was sealing the shafts. There is a difference in the texture. The old shafts from Cuetec, sealed with epoxy and glass fibers, were very smooth with no visible or haptical texture, whereas the new Avid shaft surface has a visible...

    Dufferin jumpcue „Flower Power“

    Hi, I customized my jumpcue from Dufferin, which is my only jumpcue and works perfect for me. I added an extension an painted it with a very unusual design 😂 I call it now the „Flower Power“ 🤭 This is the beginning of a new design era in pool sports 🤩🤩🤩🙈

    Mezz ex pro vs sigma

    I have both shafts, Ex Pro and WX Sigma (12,5). Both shafts are not pro taper, but very close to pro taper. I did not measure them, but I clearly can say that both feel great when playing with closed bridge. I'm a big fan of pure and long pro tapers like the cynergy shaft 12,5 mm, wich is my...

    Mezz Wavy Joint

    I love the wavy system most of all joint systems that I‘ve ever used. I like so much the tight / stiff connection avoiding any loose fit.

    Mezz Wavy Joint

    Hi together, yesterday I had a close look on my Wavy pin of my Axi cue. I was surprised seeing a very unusual shape of the threaded bolt. There's app. in the middle of the flank a line where the thread has some kind of a hog, the flank has a special profile. I think this hog is the main reason...

    Avid shafts/cues from Cuetec?

    I was curious about these new avid cues, and I bought one before ~ 8 weeks. From the first stroke I liked the balance very much, but added some weight, now it is at 19,7 oz, perfect to me. The tip of the shaft was at other cuetec shafts something that I changed always very quickly, these everest...

    Do carbon fiber shafts make the game easier?

    Yes you are right when you state that in the past times many decades back, there were no carbn shafts like today. What I want to say is: The Pros play that kind of stuff where they get sponsoring for. And yes I think that carbon is much more than a small wave, because it is im my eyes prooved...

    Do carbon fiber shafts make the game easier?

    I think that decribes pretty good why amateurs may have e benefit from using LD shafts in comparison to professionals who know how to stroke and aim properly. In my opinion the most important is a relyable stroke in order to hit the white exactly where you intend to hit and exactly with the...

    Do carbon fiber shafts make the game easier?

    I think that most professional player are playing modern LD shaft, because most of these top players have sponsoring contract with the cue brands that want to sell the LD stuff. Look at the level that Strickland, Bustamante, Reyes and all the other older players had, they showed their beste game...

    Do carbon fiber shafts make the game easier?

    +/- 3 mm straightness at a pool shaft is totally shit quality! +/- 1 mm is even a bad tolerance window..

    Do carbon fiber shafts make the game easier?

    That's very likely related to a pretty low level of quality insurance during production process..

    Southwest cues - reasons for their popularity

    Hi together, I'm wondering why southwest cues are such exspensive. In first instance: It's the market, that's clear. But besides the market effects, there must be reasons WHY this market situation is so extreme at southwest. So, what is the difference of southwest, is there anything that makes...

    Cuetec Cynergy 15k

    Did anyone have the chance to play with the entire 15K-cue (15K-butt + 15K-shaft)? I've only heard about and read reviews just from the 15K-shaft played on several non cuetec butts. I'm very curious 'cause I ordered the entire 15K-cue. I hope cuetec designed also the 15K-butt perfectly fitting...

    Cuetec R360 shaft review

    Before a couple of weeks I bougt a new Cuetec cue: Edge with the R360 shaft. I love it! The deflection is on the level of the 314/3 or WX700. The extreme protaper of the R360 gives me the best feeling I ever had with a shaft, especially when I play with a closed bridge. I removed the everest tip...

    Best cue tip for Mezz WX700 ?

    I had the same problem, the WX700 was too crisp and felt a bit strange with high english. I have now on both of my WX700 the Navigator Alpha medium, and they play great, not too hard. Before I had the Ultraskin soft, and it was a LITTLE bit to soft for my feeling, but had also a great feel and...
