I wrote a review of the Cuetec Cynergy shaft here on AzB's Cue and shaft review subforum. Very few of our members browse those sub categories here, so I thought to share the link here on Main forum so everyone interested can get to read it through

Please note that I am not a professional player and everything written in there is based on my own perception of the shafts performance and how I like it otherwise :smile:
Happy reading!

Nice write up... It appears that you put more value on the "feel" or hit of the cue then I would. I test hit a Cynergy while I was up in Vegas last August. Let me take a step back and say that I've been playing with a Schon which has a 1st generation Predator shaft. So, I've had this cue for about 12 or 13 years. You could say I've become very adjusted to how much deflection needed on specific shots.
While testing out the Cynergy, I set up a similar shot as you. I put the object ball 2 diamonds from the corner and with the cue ball in the center of the table I make the ball and using inside English, go 3 rails for shape. This shot is a great indicator of how much deflection you are getting. The first 3 shots I over cut the ball which tells me that the Cynergy was deflecting more than my 1st gen Predator. I adjusted and quickly made it a few times in a row. Did I want to buy this bran new CF shaft with more deflection than the one I was using? NOPE!
I went down to the Predator booth and set up the same shot, this time using the Revo 12.4 shaft. I nailed it on the 1st few attempts, hardly any adjustment needed from how my 1st gen Predator played. So, ended up getting a Predator Roadline cue with Revo 12.4.
The reason I switched is that the old wood shafts will get dings and warp in time. The CF shafts should not get any warping and dings are a thing of the past. Everybody likes different cues but I went for results, that made me "feel" good. :wink:
