Is it different from wood? Absolutely... Going from a Cuetec R360 to a Cynergy 12.5 is like putting a pool cue on steroids...

In what way?

Less effort to accomplish the same task... Can't beat that...
Could you have been hitting them too hard before. Just wondering. Wasn't it Kinister who said "I don't care who you are you are hitting the ball too hard."
Just an old timer who decided not to make the change as I missed that pure feed back of a ball well struck that I only get from high pitched shaft wood.

I'm guessing pool cues are going to follow the way of golf clubs...
They already have- in case you did not notice. Difference is that they have not reduced the size of a golf hole. if they do that you will see many thousands run from the game of golf too! Nothing has chased folks from enjoying this game more than the stupid idea of opening rooms with 9 foot Diamond pro cut pocket tables- you want to put a few in to satisfy some customers, OK- a room full of them will chase away any chance of repeat business from those who cannot or do not want to invest half their life to the game. For the most part- the game is supposed to be fun for the masses to be successful.
ProCuts aren't that bad but i agree with what you're saying. You don't need/want a whole room full of tight tables. Have a couple for the good players and the rest be 4.75/5".

Fun?... Pool is about as much fun as pushing a bunch of rocks around with a stick...

I'm very intreged but don't want to spend that kind of money sight in seen. More so something I have never tried. I would love to play with one. Did you get a chance to play with one before you made up your mind? I'm sure if I bought one I could resell it on eBay or here if I didn't like it.This is the Cuetec cue I purchased a couple of months ago. $585 shipped.
No going back to wood for me. The hit is fantastic and the feel is great.CYNERGY SVB GEN ONE, BLACK STARLIGHT, DAKOTA EDITION

Yes I did. Always wanted to try one out. My friend bought a Predator and I got to hit some balls with it. I thought, oh my god this hits/feels so solid, I have to get one. I asked, how much this cost you, he said $1800, I said, I'm not paying that kind of money for a cue. So I bought one of the SVB line.
No regrets.

I went with the True Wood Walnut Wrapless... Been playing at 19oz but it feels right to me at 21oz... So much more control... Looks really good... The feedback is exceptional... My game is going up a notch... "A better arrow"This is the Cuetec cue I purchased a couple of months ago. $585 shipped.

Bert Kinnister did too in his training video.
Tell that to the owner of Mile high Billiards in Arvada Colorado.
Nick Varner said the pockets were "stupid tight" and refused to do his show on them.
He did do it on a 7 foot Diamond with normal pockets.
He does put on a good show.
Some guy, not too far from me - 1/2 hour- put in a four table room as an addition to his very large bowling alley. All the tables are pro cut Diamonds- they are pretty tough tables between the pockets and the high speed of the tables. I can't get 2 balls together inside the pockets, but nose to nose I do measure exactly 4 1/2. I have only seen 3 other guys in that room besides me and I know they are all lifetime players like me.
I appreciate having a place to play at times with tables that I can sharpen my game a bit- but honestly, the casual, recreational players will become immediately frustrated on those tables. I guess he had a specific target audience with only a four table room.

If it can be told, where is this place.
