Anyone modify their cuetec cynergy shaft with a different ferrule material? I plan on drilling out majority on the old material as far as it enters the shaft then adding a "vault type" setup with tomahawk.
Tomahawk on Cynergy?

Made a demo mock up out of Juma of what I am talking about doing, please excuse the resolution quality of photos and the glue on the out side of the ferrule I applied uv glue to see how fast it cures as an experiment, has nothing to do with the project.
I#ll do 4 times with Tomahawk, resault is perfect. Installed also the Taom Pro soft on there, some don't like the Sniper( but for me the Sniper is still the BEST on that shaft, had mine over 1 year on and still Plays perfect, you MUST give that tip time to settle it)

I agree That tip is not bad at all once broken in, but I personally really enjoy Zan tips plus medium is a fantastic consistent tip.
I just purchased a rod from you, can wait to get it

You might better check on your end. I have not seen a purchase come through today.
Update on the project, everything worked out great and was a success. Plays amazing hit I can only describe as solid. Tomahawk is a superior material to the stock material that's used on the cynergy IMHO. The set up just plays all around better, material was cut to half the size on the normal cynergy ferrule and has a red fiber pad and Zan plus medium tip.
I had the old ferrell drilled out completly and made new of Tomahawk. Installed a Zan Hybrid Max which is a GREAT Combo if someone didn't like the Sniper Tip

I had thought about doing that but this seemed safe and strong. I have been curious about the hybrid max for awhile now but I really do love the plus medium! I also hear that Tomahawk is heavier than the abs? that's used so I didn't mind using less of it. Although the reason for using Tomahawk wasn't necessarily for less deflection purposes more for a more stable but also light material. The only thing I can see doing as a future experiment is a true (vault plat) design with tomahawk but I think the deflection percentage would still be so minuscule, also I would only feel comfortable doing this if they finally make a 30' shaft, that way I wouldn't be taking away to much from the length of the shaft.:grin-square:
Tomahawk is the lightest on strongest Material which you can buy :wink:
that#s why I drilled out ALL, the Ferell is lighter as the ORG. We use a red fiber pad under the Hybrid Max too,hope it helps

Thanks for saying this, I made the jump and stated over today and did exactly what you said and drilled it out to the plastic inner lining and did a complete vault plate design like the way it hits plays much better.
I used loctite ultra gel, works like a charm on this set up granted it never was glued truly to the carbon fiber inside, If I did I probably would have used two part epoxy. Upon further playing with that shaft I believe it hits a little too firm, didn't think that was possible for me lol. It could also be a mental thing knowing I need to get use to the new feel also the shaft is slightly shorter now. I think a softer hitting material would be great for the set up, Juma maybe, deflection shouldn't be noticeable at how small of a change it would be especially with the fully vault plate setup I ended with. Also Juma is strong and fairly chalk resistant after a nice sanding and polish, Ivory tinted Juma is pleasant on the eyes, a nice soft white. Other thoughts were to install a softer tip than the Zan medium perhaps a Zan plus soft or a Kamui brown soft.
Ok my current set up I did was Juma into the tomahawk, and currently playing with a lepro tip, also took the shaft down a bit in the first 4-5 inches or two to 12mm, its not as pretty in the front on the carbon but just as smooth and plays jam up! Waiting on a new sniper tip because I feel once broken in that tip plays amazing, holds shape and chalk very well. Moves the cue ball very nice matched with the cynergy shaft. if anyone would like pictures I can post some on request.
Kelly, did you buy the Juma ferrule for the Cynergy cue or did you make it? Looks like you made it. Are they for sale? If so, how much? Do you have a procedure for removing old Cynergy ferrule and then installing the new ferrule? I get nothing from Cuetec when I ask them. Thanks!
I’ll bet Hydex 202 ferrule material would be great for that too.
Hi Tom. I think you jumped tracks. I'm not the original poster who had the Cynergy and made the Tomahawk/Juma combo.
