Hailing from the Philippines, Centeno has earned global recognition for her speed around the table, shot-making ability, and fearless competitive nature. Nicknamed “The Flash,” she is one of only two women in billiards history to win the WPA World Ten-ball Championship twice, securing titles in 2023 and 2025.
Centeno’s rise has been remarkable. By age eleven, she was already recognized as a prodigy, displaying skill, discipline, and competitive maturity that foreshadowed her ascent to the world stage.
“Cuetec has built a strong reputation over the years, and everyone I’ve met has been welcoming and supportive. I’m honored to represent the brand and excited to begin this new chapter,” Centeno said. “I’ve always admired Cuetec and respected the players on this team, so joining them feels truly surreal and special.”
On using Cuetec equipment, she added, “I’ve been using the Cynergy True Wood cue for a couple of weeks, and it’s blown me away. I love the feel, the technology behind it, and the consistency it has shown me so far. It even changed my mind about using a carbon-fiber shaft in general, and I’m excited to start competing with it.”
“Chezka embodies everything we value in a Cuetec pro player—skill, dedication, authenticity, and a relentless commitment to excel,” said Cuetec President Jones Chang. “We are honored to support her continued pursuit of championship success. Chezka’s presence elevates the sport, and our team. We believe her best years are ahead of her and there is no ceiling on what she can accomplish.”
As part of the Cuetec Pro Team, Centeno will compete using the Cynergy carbon-fiber composite shaft, showcasing its accuracy, feel, and consistency while representing the brand on the women’s professional stage.
