New Cynergy shaft....
- Thread starter garczar
- Start date
It looks like a pretty interesting shaft. Saw Florian Kohler write that he loves using it on a bar box for whatever that is worth. I've never played anything near that small, but I'm looking forward to giving it a try. From a total gear nut perspective (and as a Cynergy shaft user), it might be really nice to get some more cue ball to aim at when I'm left on the rail all-day playing one-pocket. I wish we had a snooker table in my area, I've always loved the game and could see using my standard play butt with one. I had a look a the Cuetec website and apparently it's the stiffest of their shaft offerings.

Cynergy Shaft Comparison
Selecting the correct shaft for your game, is often an equation as complex as making them, this comparision of the Cynergy Shafts will help.

I use the standard cynergy12.5mm, radial, stock tip
it is phenomenal and I am currently rotating it with a Mezz ignite, also phenomenal
the cynergy holds its own and is the real deal
i would question the benefits of a 10.5mm tip, might be worth to get your hands on a cheap snooker cue to see if you like the smaller tip size

You better have a REALLY straight stroke to use one. I tried the Z Pred for about a week and hated it. 12.5 is about as small as i can use. I also think the 12.5Cyn is a helluva shaft.

I may or may not have been able to try one of these for about one rack while someone else was pilot testing it.... I shoot with a Revo 12.4 but I use to shoot with a Z3 that was in the 11 mm range. I REALLY liked this Cuetech 10.5 cue. The upside is the cue ball does what you tell it to do (the action you put on the cue ball) the downside is we don't always realize how much we ask the cue ball to do. Narrower shafts make you think about where you are actually striking the cue ball more. On the bright side, going from 10.5 back to 12.4, it was easier to hit my mark on the cue ball and I shot really well the rest of the night. I'll probably buy one now they are out!
I just recently purchased a Z-3, and it has replaced my Revo as my daily-use cue. I think for all of us it's just finding what "feels right" for us.
No doubt.
How often do you suppose the "missing" part of the larger tip is needed to contact the CB?

I'm not gonna start arguing with you. I just know i play like dogshit with little shafts.
I hit Florian's prototype shaft and it solid. Weird having a shaft that small though.
No arguing... just this comment for the peanut gallery:
Assuming the same curvature, a 10mm tip is identical to a 12mm tip with the outside 1mm removed. That outside 1mm is only in play when using maximum side - maybe not even then depending on how flat the tip is.
Of course confidence is a critical factor, so play with what you trust...

I don't use an open bridge much and i have long fingers. Anything under 12.5 feels like a drinking straw to me. I played my best pool with a 13.1 ivory ferruled cue when i was younger.
I'm playing pretty good for my level with a wooden 11.75 . And looking for a small dia carbon shaft here in the near future, which is why I'd like to try one but doubt anyone near would have one on hand. And not gonna shell out 400 on a whim

The Billiard Factory in Houston might have one to try in their shop. Here in Jax, we can do that at the Billiard Factory.
I didn't even think of that thanks
I have long fingers too, but always play with an open bridge - except in close quarters where a closed bridge is more compact, and even then my index finger is just looped loosely over the top, barely touching the shaft. I assume that's a big difference in how things feel to you and me.

I will try to test one of these at the expo… seems super small, but could be good to be that precise.
I know my 10mm tip isn't physically more precise, but it looks like it and that makes me play more precisely.
Lower squirt is a nice bonus.

Sweet, another new diameter but we can’t get anything in 30”.
