Cue Review! | Wood Or Carbon Fiber?

Make sure you guys check out the Billiard Factory! Videos would not be possible without them!

Hi, I believe draw shots are more influenced by the tip material than by the carbon shaft. I was surprised to see almost zero deflection with the carbon shaft. I'm a novice but a shaft that would let me use side english without compensation would be nice. This video has given me one more reason to upgrade my equipment. Now if I only had a more consistent stroke I'd be plunking down my cash.

at 1:40 he lined up the short with more left english and an open bridge, then followed through the shot straighter. on the second shot at 2:26 he put less english, a closed bridge and a more swiping stroke. That's why the change in direction. they need to be shot again with the same strokes.

I have shot with both . I found the pro shaft to be on par with the cynergy 12.5 or maybe lower in cueball deflection. Off course different cue butts, tips, weight etc can change the results. But in my opinion the pro shaft is one of the best shafts I've ever played with. Lots of feel, not too stiff and lots of power with little effort.

Hey, Dup's older brother is doing videos now too.

Material can make a big difference, however... Don't forget about grip and striking through the cue ball folks, staying down on your shot helps as well.

Alot of the draw is based on the type of tip used, how scuft it is, where you hit the ball, the power used in the shot. Not so much what shaft is used. I can put a good tip on an ash dowl rod from Ace hardware and draw the cue just as well as shown here. The shaft can be a differance in energy delivered, but it's the tip that actually causes spin on the que ball, more than the cue stick used.

If you keep your extension on the cue, you will be able to pot straight shots more often because your cue will push through the ball more and it is great for tall people like you so i suggest keeping that extension on your cue and i suggest getting a cuetec break cue

I'm not big on the glare on the Cuetec CF shaft. My Meucci CF pro shaft plays really well

[PayneP]

thank you for posting this I own both and I've played very differently with the Cuetec

[johnlovell]

WHY DID YOU USE AN OPEN BRIDGE ON THE FIRST SHOT ?

[trevormac]

Jaden I've been watching your you tube for a long time now, your doing awesome as an instructor and student. I am almost 40 years old now and have no issue learning from a youngster. You got skillz bro.

[chrismartin]

The cynergy is a great shaft but the sniper tip sucks imo.

Crazy witnessing someone go through a 2nd phase of puberty

Wooden shafts are just as good as those overpriced carbon fiber shafts. Only difference is they might last longer other than that if your a good player you can play with anything

[AccordionJoe]

I use a traditional hard rock maple cue for three reasons. First, it feels better -- more solid when striking the cue ball. Second, it has the same deflection as house cues so I can take a cue stick off the rack and it will play pretty much like my own cue. If you use a low-deflection cue of carbon fiber, fiberglass or wood sections, adjusting to a house cue will be much more difficult. Finally, if you want to play for money, people will not be willing to spot you as much or even play you if you have one of those evil-looking black cue sticks.

I also have the SVB cue with both the 11.8 and 22.4 mm shafts! I prefer the 11.8 .. it’s easier for me shooting long draw shots .. you should check out the 11.8

[boruichen]

I remember you gave the links to both cues. Why it disappeared?

[bobanderson]

You would benefit a lot by staying down on your shots. You pop up on your draw mid-stroke

[jeremyyuschock]

Would I be able to slap a carbon shaft on my wooden viking?

[johntanner]

You did not want to get the Meucci Carbon Pro Shaft?? Great videos by the way keep up the good work
