The white ferrule on the Meucci really helps me with cue tip placement.

Although I didn’t give it a real good testing, I did try the Cynergy and to me it was okay and liked it better than REVO, but don’t like it as well as BECUE or Meucci.

Just my opinion.

I think you said it was a 5/16-14.

If so, I got first dibs on it if you decide to sell it.

It really felt good on that butt you were using. They matched up good and I liked the slim butt .

I hit a few balls today with the new SVB Cuetec cue with the carbon fiber shaft and I think my Becue plays way better. The Becue, to me, hits way more "solid" and has more "ball feel".

I don't know what kind of tip was on the Cuetec, but it didn't feel as good as the Ultra-skin soft on mine. Tips are a preference, but I think a soft tip feels better on the carbon fiber shafts than harder tips.

Wowzer!
Stop by Burbank and hit a few around, wacky spin, dope feedback and ZERO deflection. can not be beat. blows all the other Carbon fibbers our of the water.
mine was 30" long with a 12.25 gradual conical tapper and a sniper tip.
GGGrrrrowl!
Put a Tiger in you tank,They're grrrrrreat !

Tiger's website does not mention any Carbon fiber shafts as of 1-8-20???

The tiger carbon is a modified conical taper? That sounds interesting, im not really a pro taper fan. What other carbons dont have pro tapers?

Becue offers 5.1 version which has a conical taper.

Has anyone tried the China knock off?
Seems odd it hasn’t been mentioned

I have built a few shafts with the Chinese blanks (for others); basically, installed reverse ferrules (vault plates) and phenolic joints.

They start a bit less smooth verses the mainstream shafts (Revo, Cuetec, Jacoby, Meucci, etc); however, some light wet sanding with 3000 grit makes them equivalent.

They hit great if/when built up correctly; however, the one's I have seen have a wall thickness between .049" to .052" (vs .040 to .044) making the mass a bit too high for the extremely LD I prefer.
Not a bad option for someone considering the move from a normal deflection maple.
I can get the deflection equivalent to Cuetec Cynergy with a very low mass vault plate, but I prefer less deflection.

Until now I was playing WX900 and tried the Ignite, but was not happy with it, beacuse it had no playing advantage, especially deflection was more. At first I was also trying Revo 12.9 but did not like the feel of the hit and the sound. That was around 2 years ago.

Now I tried and bought a Revo 12.4 with white vault plate and loving it so far. Interestingly it plays from deflection point of view, very similar to my WX900. Also it does not have this annyoing Carbon sound anymore. The white vault plate is also for aiming and checking better than the pure black I think. I also have read somewhere that the shaft with white vault plate is a bit lighter than with the black original version? Somebody tested this?

Another note, compare to my BK Rush Shaft the 12.4 shaft is not so shiny anymore. Seems to have another kind of finish.

Jacoby- super horrible from hit to deflection

Cynergy- super impressive! even ordered one for myselft!

Man thays weird. I've been playing with a Jacoby Black 3/8x10 for a year and the deflection is a 1/4 of my LD OB shafts and the feel is amazing. My break and runs has gone up since the switch and even had Revo guys try and want it. Guess everyone has different needs

I'll have to try the Jacoby sometime.

I just bought a Revo 12.4 with stock Victory Soft tip and a Cuetec Cynergy with a Kamui Clear Black Soft. I played with both on a P3 butt. The Cuetec was too soft and springy. It also felt a bit too small, like a toothpick.

Coming from a 314-3, I had almost no transition to get comfortable with the Revo. The Revo hit pure and clean. No unwanted vibration and no springboard effect. The cue ball went where I aimed, consistently. Something about aiming with the black vault plate made sighting the shot easier too. I didn't like the white ferrule of the Cynergy.

The Cuetec went back after a day.

To each their own.

I feel the same way about the cynergy, was the biggest POS I ever tried. The Jacoby was slightly better but not by much. I have 2 new CF shafts to test out, so it will bring my total to 9 if I ever get out to play again.

How long ago did you play with the Jacoby Black? Amazes me you have it as one of the worst when I have TRS50 or in APA would be level 9 I guess who played with my Jacoby black and wanted to sell their Revo and get one. Just funny how something that is rated top 2 to some is rated bottom to others. Must have had a 1st release or something wrong with it
