Just received my Cynergy shaft and while I've only hit a few balls with it, it appears to be exactly as advertised. I ordered it to fit a Scorpion cue that happens to be perfectly straight and balanced exactly the way I like it.
1) I was wondering why the shipping package was over 3 lbs. The box the shaft comes in weighs 2.35 lbs and probably adds $50 to the price of the shaft!! Pretty fancy packaging. The shaft itself weighs 3.8 oz, bringing my usually 19.5 oz cue down to 19.2 oz.
2) The shaft is perfectly straight. This cue I hand picked from a selection of 4 or 5 cues. It's balanced the way I want and is as straight as any cue I own.
3) The hit of the shaft feels softer than what I'm used to, but the cue ball action tells me I'm getting more spin with less effort. I'll screw around with the Sniper tip for awhile, but I'm used to a good ol' hard Triangle non-layered. I haven't played with the deflection properties yet, but will mess with that later this evening. In the meantime, I feel like I'm hitting accurately with it straight out of the box.
4) The finish is very nice and it actually looks really good on the Scorpion NT05 with the cherry looking fake finish and a black leather wrap. If I like it as much as I think I'm going to, I may have to add another one to my case. Might wait for the production to meet the demand though!
Back to the table!
