Questions About This Tip & Joint

[DrCue'sProtege]

Okay, I just purchased a new Cuetec Cynergy Nine Ball cue and I have a couple of questions.

First, is the tip shown an Elkmaster tip?

Second, are the joints the same? The middle pic is the new Cynergy joint and the pic on the far right is from my old Cuetec Starlight Earl Strickland cue that's over 25 years old.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Why ?

Why ?

Why what???

Why am I asking?

Because I thought Elkmaster tips were blue. And I thought Cuetec had changed their joint material and they look the same to me.

I am trying to learn something here.

Are the shafts and butts interchangeable? Try the new shaft on the old butt. I doubt Cuetech would buy and import Elkmasters if they can manufacture a similar tip right at home.

They are not interchangeable.

Second, that's not what I asked. I asked if that tip is indeed an Elkmaster.

Pretty sure Sniper is the stock tip for Cuetec.

I'm not sure how I can make the question any more simple than that. Let me try:

IS THE TIP IN THE PIC AN ELKMASTER TIP?????

If you bought the cue new and didn’t request a different tip it comes with a sniper. If elkmasters are blue obviously it’s not moron.

Elk Master tips are 50 for $15 and are dark blue. Elk Master Pro tips are 3 for $60 and they look like what you have.

The tip doesn’t look like a standard Elkmaster (maybe a pro as someone mentioned as I don’t know those). It also doesn’t look like the Sniper that is supposed to come standard on it.

The Elks I have ever used are blue

Triangle tip

Not an elk master. The color is wrong. I'm legit colorblind and can tell.

Something doesn't add up. You said you bought a "new" cue. Brand new they come with a Sniper laminated tip, which yours is clearly not.
