Elevating the Connection Between Player and Equipment.
The bond between a player and their cue is built on feedback, involving countless details interpreted by the senses. Each interaction strengthens this relationship, fostering trust and muscle memory. With this in mind, Cuetec set out to develop the Cynergy family of high-performance carbon fiber composite shafts.
When Cuetec first approached five-time U.S. Open Champion Shane Van Boening about creating a carbon fiber shaft, he emphasized, “If I can’t feel it, I can’t use it.” Shane’s point was spot-on. While the billiards industry had focused on reducing deflection, it had overlooked the importance of feel and feedback. To address this, Cuetec’s ACD (Advanced Composites Division) engineers designed the Cynergy series of carbon fiber playing shafts – Shafts that harnessed carbon fiber technology to deliver exceptional low-deflection accuracy, power, and spin without sacrificing feel and feedback.
Multi-directional Carbon Fiber Filaments
Cuetec’s Cynergy carbon composite shafts are constructed with multi-plies of resin-impregnated military-grade unidirectional carbon fiber filaments. The diameter of each filament is 7 um(0.007 mm), or about one-twelfth of a human hair. The orientation of these carbon fiber filaments is crucial to achieving optimal durability, strength, and performance. During the heat curing process, each of these specifically oriented filaments works together to ensure there is zero net displacement. The result is a perfectly straight and ultra-strong shaft.
Polyurethane Foam Core
At the heart of each Cynergy carbon composite shaft is its ultra-high-density polyurethane foam core. This Cuetec proprietary poly-foam core adds stability to the shaft, allowing for prescribed flex and creating a more wood-like sound upon contact with increased feel and feedback.
Flyweight Front-End Construction
Less weight means less deflection. Benefitting from their ultra-strong carbon composite construction, each Cynergy shaft features Cuetec’s flyweight front-end build. This construction allows the Cynergy poly-foam to stop five inches below the tip, creating a rigid cavity with less mass and therefore less deflection on contact.
Precision-Engineered Tapers
Developed to provide the most comfortable playing experiences, each Cuetec Cynergy shaft features a unique performance-oriented taper. Both the Cynergy 12.5 and 11.8 feature super straight tapers with virtually zero rise – allowing for a more level and precise stroke, regardless of the player’s stroke length. In contrast, the Cynergy 10.5 features a hybrid-conical taper, providing increased stiffness and power creating a multi-disciplinary shaft for games including Snooker and Chinese 8-Ball.
Thin White Sighting Ferrule
At only .25 inches long, the light-weight, thin white sighting ferrule on each Cynergy shaft not only aids in aim contrast and depth perception, but it also provides a more familiar and stable platform for tip maintenance and replacement over the life of the shaft.
Tiger® Sniper Tip
Selected for its high-performance and neutral hit attributes, each Cynergy shaft is paired with a Sniper tip. Naturally cured for more than a year, each Sniper tip is meticulously honed, utilizing a unique vacuum lamination process that ensures the elimination of air between the tip’s ten layers.
