Did you end up getting your? Just wondering your thoughts on it.
Yes, I have received it. I probably need a little more time before giving a more definitive review. However, at this time, I will say that I initially I am very happy.
I have never changed shafts without needing a lot of playing time to adapt (other than going between 314-2s which have all played an fairly consistent for me). But this Cynergy feels pretty comfortable immediately. For comparison deflection and spin are not identical but similar to my 314-2s. Somewhere between the z and 314-2s.
I'm not a fan of ferrules less than 12.5mm nor dime shaped tips because of unintended spin. I have decent enough stroke that I can usually get the cue where I need it and I prefer control over spin. This tip came shaped way beyond a dime. Looks more like a 12.5mm roller bearing. But I'm suspicious that that it's been shaped, chalked and hit prior to me, then reshaped to remove the chalk. I could be wrong tho. It does put much more spin on the ball, but the business end is a little thinner than 314-2, but it doesn't put a ton of additional spin than I'm used to. I'm also familiar with sniper tips and I'll reshape the tip soon.
It does hit much stiffer than 314-2. And it feels much more like a solid wooden shaft than any low deflection, wooden cue that I've played with. It doesn't have a dead feel to it.
Since moving to LD shafts, I feel like I've given up having that solid hit in order to get LD. For me, Carbon fiber cues have brought back this feel. If anyone has never played for decades on solid wood, it would be difficult to fully understand that.
I also like the long pro taper, but it doesn't play "whippy." Like most pro taper solid wood shafts. So for me it's the best of both worlds. I like not having a taper on my bridge hand, but prefer a little stiffer hit. Also, just like the Revo, it is super slick.
The deflection is very similar to 314-2s, but my pivot point is much longer... maybe 4". That will take some getting used to.
I've also never like black ferrules. So I'm happy to have a white ferrule.
Overall so far, I'm really pleased.
FYI...The shaft weighted 3.9 oz. The tip was 12.46mm. Slightly more narrow than 12.5mm advertised. I'm wondering whether this may vary between individual cues.
