Tigers Cf shaft. Anyone used it
- Thread starter smoochie
- Start date
Ive recently inquired about their shaft. Heres the concept, the entire shaft is solid carbon fiber all the way thru, theres no lightened front-end, which means more deflection than a revo .
The rep I spoke with stated because the shaft is completely carbon fiber , not made up of carbon tubing like some of the competitors out there , it does have more deflection than some other leading brands out there, however he claimed that the tiger fortis has more feel than many leading competitors. His word not mine , take it for what it is .
You can order 1 from Tiger directly via phone call (818) 238 - 9906.
Last but not least, heres the kick in the d*ck ,,, the current price of a Tiger Fortis is $600

So I have a Fortis pro (as does a friend of mine)... when I first got it, wasn't so sure I'd like it. I had shot with my friend's (which I liked) and it shot rather differently. I took some time and 'beat' the tip in... breaking, playing harder than I normally do to get the tip to settle. After some time, it seemed to settle out and the occasional misses / lack of feel I had before went away. I can say that I like it. A higher level shooter 600+ Fargo (I think) who plays with a cuetec Synergy regularly hit some balls with it and thought it hit really nice.
As usual, take it with a grain of salt.
It does play well for my $$$.

you sure about that? i seriously doubt its solid and not a tube. i think what he meant is that its all cf and not mixed with other fiber types. a solid shaft would be pretty much unplayable.Ive recently inquired about their shaft.

$600 is steep but Tiger makes good stuff
I rank cynergy and go customs at $399 as the optimum price/performance/quality ratio

Wanted to try but $600 keeps me using my Revo.

Yeah, it's hard to spend that much for something you don't know you will like. A good thing about the Revo and Cynergy is that they are widely available so if something happens to yours, it's easy to find a replacement. I'd hate to have to adjust to a new shaft right before a tournament.
I thought the same thing when I heard it, thinking that shaft would be heavy as hell.
Im just relaying what he told me on the phone his exact words verbatim were
""the tiger fortis is a solid carbon fiber shaft, not a tube carbon fiber shell like many competitors use , the technology behind it took 2yrs to perfect"".
Maybe they should get better reps, either way I wont be buying one at that price point .

Agree with garczar. Cf has a specific gravity of about 2, so a solid tube would weigh in at about 8 oz. More likely a cf tube filled with light structural foam, so that the uninitiated might think it is solid.
I’ve owned the Cynergy, Jacoby BlaCk, Pechauer Rogue, Becue Prime M, and Koda Bull and been able to spend some time shooting with GO Customs, Defy and Revo.
Out of everything, the Cynergy feels the best to me. The only complaint I have is that it’s only available in 29”. I use it on a 29” Leon Sly butt with a 4” mid cue extension, but I’d much rather have a 31”/31” even split cue with just one joint.
