CRBN cue thoughts or experience

[bayoublaster400]

Has anyone had any experience with the CRBN cues? I know they are just starting to get their first orders delivered, but a few people may already have one and I'd like to know what you you have been shooting with in the past and how the CRBN cue compares to it in terms of hit, feel, balance, sound of impact of hit, and fit/ finnish. I know it's not easy to compare it with a cue and shaft you have been using unless you have the same tip as well, but any personal experience and thoughts on the cue would be appreciated. Thanks everyone

Had to go look them up. Not even out yet. Looks like just another cf cue. Nothing groundbreaking other than a real world price. If its any good they'll sell a bunch.

I appreciate the reply. I'll wait and see how people who have one share their unbiased opinion on them. Sometimes it's almost impossible to get a unbiased opinion, but I have hopes that someone will share eventually on this forum. Thanks again

Not a fan of the whole crowd sourcing thing they did.
They hyped it up a bunch and had videos with everyone raving about it, then had everyone order without telling them that it would be 3 months before they got their cues. Yeah because they didn’t exist and you needed the funds to produce them. Not confidence inspiring from a company or quality perspective.

CF cues have been out long enough to know what to expect. There's nothing groundbreaking except the price which should make it pretty popular. As far as playing i seriously doubt it breaks any un-plowed ground. You can buy cf cues on Temu for under 200bux btw. Crical has them for around 170bux. https://www.temu.com/-pool-cue-stick-57-87inch-12-5mm-tip-3-8-8-joint-billiard-rod--billiard-game-accessories-g-601099590111555.html?_oak_mp_inf=EMOirLym1ogBGgZ4MXczdTYgivO+pL4y&top_gallery_url=https://img.kwcdn.com/product/fancy/market/245e18f47671e0777cfa19571202ab5a_9MVDdo1Krt8FY.jpg&spec_gallery_id=1&refer_page_sn=10009&refer_source=10022&freesia_scene=2&_oak_freesia_scene=2&_oak_rec_ext_1=MTY5NDk&_oak_gallery_order=1657988813,293393647,472203828,329693075,1149537127&refer_page_el_sn=200049&_x_sessn_id=p95bmd03gb&refer_page_name=search_result&refer_page_id=10009_1734706642721_1f1xviccvh

I have one of the crowd funded first shipped cues. Packaging was very nice, almost on par with Cuetec. Cue came with an extension and joint protectors as well as a weight kit. Cue fit and finish is very nice. Extension that was included is very light. It does attach with a plastic/polymer thread so we will see how well it holds up. I have only hit a few racks with it but it plays solid. I don't think its as low deflection as a Revo or the Jacoby Black that I play with. Sounds was a little "tonkier" than my black. For the price its a nice cue. Take price out of the equation and its still a pretty good cue. The overall fit and finish seems to be better than Rhino and on par with most medium to higher end production cues. It won't replace my Jacoby as my everyday player but is a really nice house cue for my home table or a cue to grab if you are going somewhere you are worried about getting it banged up.
