White vault plate vs Black vault plate, does it matter?

I have a difficult time identifying the end of the shaft with a black vault plate, even the thin white ones can be tough. This is why I like the cynergy, there's enough contrast for me to see it clearly.

depends on tip color for me. If using a black tip with black vault plate, I tend to have a harder time with the depth perception. I prefer the white vault plate.

Is a BVP the piece the tip sits on, Like a ferule?
Never mind I just looked it up. Just add to the conversation years ago Luther Lassiter had his ferrules colored with red fingernail polish he said it helped him see the cue ball better.
What is the purpose of a vault plate? Kamui has those clear pads on some of their tips and as I understand its just there to make it easier/better for gluing the tip on. One of my friends takes the Kamui tip off of the clear pad then uses it on other tips, in that case the clear pad really serves no purpose other than visual. Just more glue points to give the tip an opportunity to pop off if you ask me.
Naw...I think it is purpose built component for carbon shafts.
The vault plate is what replaces a ferrule on a CF shaft. Take a look under the heading "Pin-Point Accuracy" here: https://www.predatorcues.com/usa/predator-revo-12-9-mm-shaft-for-radial-joint-white-vault-plate.html
I had carbon w/ black ferrule and had it changed.
The shaft end's location at any given time was never something I had to give thought to, until I got that black ferrule.

Black ferrules have always been available primarily on house cues but a lot of custom cuemakers would put a black ferrul on for you if that's what you wanted.
So a pad like the clear "pad" on a Kamui tip and a vault plate are 2 different things? I would assume that the vault plate stays with the shaft were as you get a new clear "pad" with each Kamui clear tip.
All correct up therer!
I read it was a shark.

I bought a Cynergy with the white ferrule or whatever they call it because I was worried about tracking all of that black on the shaft and old eyes tracking. Then I put some black electrical tape on the ferule. I saw the black just fine and liked it better.
