Greetings, all.
When I saw the video of Emily Frazier showing off the new Matchroom/Cuetec collaboration on Facebook, my interest was piqued. I’ve always been a sucker for blondes. So, I decided to buy one, and give it an honest review right here on AZB.
I’m not a professional “reviewer” or journalist like some of the more esteemed members of AZB, but I’ll give it my best shot.
So, a few days after seeing the ad, I drove to Nielsen Billiards in Springfield, IL and picked one of these new models up, along with a few other goodies. Nielsen Billiards is fantastic, and their eBay store has an amazing selection. I’m a repeat customer. I like going in person and perusing all of the cues and cases.
So, the cost for the cue was $815 plus tax.
Packaging: 10/10 - really cool packaging, complete with joint protectors, cue and shaft holders, and multiple packs of shaft cleaner.
Fit and Finish: 10/10.
Wrap: The fake leather wrap feels just fine.
Balance: It has a great balance point, about an inch and a half above the wrap, which is what I like.
Joint: It has a 3/8 x 14 steel joint. I prefer a steel joint cue, generally 5/16 x 14, but this feels commensurate. I wouldn’t even know how to gauge the size of this pin if it didn’t identify it on the cynergy shaft, lol.
Design: I bought the black model with the 12.5 cynergy shaft. The overlay design is fine. I think it’s an attractive cue.
I was extremely pleased with how it plays. I let my buddy, who is anti-carbon fiber guy, hit some balls with it, then couldn’t get it away from him. He was falling in love.
All in all I am happy with this cue. I think I’ll make it my main player for a while.
