Weight of Cynergy SVB Gen One
I'm also interested in this cue. My current cue is rear weighted and I would like to know what weight Shane's is including the extension.
Best guess is he has the 19 oz with cuetec extension, which all have specs online. At the least maybe he took the bolt out and it's 18 oz. Today he seems to use the smart extension. I use their more expensive duo which is 2 in one (for short or longer extension). I only use the long piece and not the short as it's too long for the pool hall I'm at (can't make any shots from 2 sides of the table without jacking up above the wall bar rail due to being so close to the wall).
Best money I ever spent. I have the entire Ghost edition line: Breach, Propel, and SVB Gen One (Playing Cue). I use the same tip as SVB, and love it. It's my first medium tip, as I come from Kamui S(or SS) and elkmasters.
They look really good together, and matching. But more important, the confidence you gain in having a cue you've seen win countless US and world titles is priceless.
Balance point is perfect, and it stays smooth like new because I clean all three cues everyday after shooting with cleaning wipes. I also Willard's as well as burnish the playing cue tip daily, so it's very consistent in play. I see most people in AZB don't clean their cue at all lol. I q-wiz'd my friends maple breaker and player the other day and what a difference. Had all kinds of chips dents and blue chalk stuck on it, was so rough stroking it even with a glove, and his tip was flat but I didn't change the tip as he may be used to playing that way. Now in his words it's like new.
Maybe I can give a clinic on cue maintenance and it's importance. I plan to make a sign for the pool hall and when people want their shaft (either house cue or their own) fixed up they can come to my table and get it done free using a simple tweeten repair kit. Slicked, shaped, new tip (in 5 mins), etc. It's a dive bar place and needs it lol. I just love the fact of everyone playing at a higher level. It makes for better competition.
The second clinic would be break shots with a house cue. Most people at my hall break is so weak, looks like they playing one-pocket or something. But they don't know what that even is lol.
But back to the SVB cue, I wouldn't change if I could. I originally was thinking Meucci, the gambler stick with the playing cards and dice inlays with the CF Meucci shaft with same matching inlays, but glad I didn't. Not just because Meucci quality has gone way down, but it would be hard to get a full set. Their jump sticks aren't known to be top tier by anyone, nor break sticks. So I would have a mixed set, prob half predator. I would want the breaker and jump stick to match the gambler player and that's not possible without paying Bob an arm and a leg I'm sure. The Meucci player alone would be close to $2k for one stick. I got all 3 Cuetec's for right under $2k not including cuetec glove ($25ish), extension ($125ish), and soon bag ($275). A great bargain for a stick we all know has won multiple international titles.
