On ideal conditions. What happens when you need max rpm period?
Cynergy 10.5 also good for Pool-Billard?

On this Rempe ball the miscue limit (maximum spin contact, halfway from center to edge) is marked with the blue circle (ring 3). For maximum spin you'd point the center of your tip inside ring 5 and the tip's outer edge wouldn't reach the ball's edge.

If you need it immediately, of course you hit at the miscue limit. But if you need max rpm at a distance, say for a long shot with power draw, you hit a little above the miscue limit to maximize speed and limit friction/spin loss.

You mean forward speed or revolution rate? This would be a borderline jump shot as well - something else I suk @.
More forward speed reduces the total friction on the way to the OB - for longer shots that can result in a higher final revolution rate.

If it's airborne right? Cause I gotta say those are the shots that go dead on me.
No, the “hit a little higher” technique isn’t to get the CB airborne - it’s to optimize the speed/spin ratio for longer shots.

max rpm? did you check the coefficient fluid?
Supposed to be set permanently at the factory.
That only works from off the rail for me; elevation/shooting downwards you know. I can see you get a higher gear shooting closer to center but that also propels the ball faster.
Lemme ask you this. What's the theoretical maximum of draw action across different cue weights?
Me cares. But think about this, if you analogized shooting off center to turning a crank, isn't closer to center a higher ratio than out on the edge? And that the ball rotates faster with a closer to center hit at the expense of more forward propulsion?
For a draw shot, the RPMs at the OB are what counts - hitting higher only results in more RPMs at the OB on longer shots, where the initial RPMs are reduced less by the reduced sliding time.
Your analogy sounds logical, but then why don't we get maximum draw for short shots by hitting closer to center?

A friend has ordered one for Chinese-8, I have only hit the 11.8 and 12.5 - didn't like either. But then I don't like Carbon. I can take some pics and ask my friend when his arrives how he feels about it. Pretty sure I wouldn't like it, or give it a non-biased review lol
The 10.5 has very low deflection, the hit is kinda stiff, as is with majority of cf shafts Ive tried.
Due to the tip size ,its pin point accurate, , but can be unforgiving being it is so small.
The key take away imo....
It performs the same as any other shaft out there, basically itll only play as good as the player behind it .

i bought one that i could return and have played with it off and on over the last few days ( i asked for a g2 soft tip since thats what i play with on my revo)
i have been playing with a revo 11.8 for more than a year
i like my little pea shooter....
it definitely is smaller and the view on the cueball is like a sniper aiming at a target..i like the visual
it sounds softer than the revo
deflection is about the same
action is about the same...maybe the revo is alittle stiffer
fwiw i bought the bull and whyte carbon shafts and returned them because of the higher deflection from the revo
i dont think i will return this cynergy shaft
even if i continue with the revo
this is from playing pool with it

If they use a flatter tip, then a larger diameter cue allows you to hit closer to center even when your aim is off? Maybe that's why they say that small diameter gives them "unwanted" spin.
Yes, that's probably what they're thinking, and it makes a little sense, but the difference is too small to matter. Here's a diagram that shows the tiny difference in tip/CB contact points for different curvatures, even at maximum offset (at the miscue limit).

Maybe they play with a almost flat tip lol

but the thing is they don't sell 10.5 in China. I just checked online. They only have 11.8 and 12.5. the 10.5 cues are much rarer in China than the other two
