    Great video. Love it when someone measures the weight, balance point and joint diameter. If we just take it from the manufacture, they can just make up numbers and they will lose their integrity. Nicely made, quality control for manufacturers is very important. Thank you uploading.

      In my experience, it's more rare to see the measurements be exactly what they say they are, very minor differences. I wanted to try and cover as much as possible with this comparison and that's why I had to break it up into 2 videos. Hopefully I can get the next one out in a couple of weeks. Thanks for watching!

    It takes time to "unlearn" deflection. The deflection a cue has makes the largest difference over long distances. Like a 12ft corner to corner shot on a 9ft table. Low deflection is "more forgiving". I think the Revo may just take more time to adapt to. I remember when I switched to a Z2. It took awhile..... But it was worth it.

  • @TheAudiophile81
    @TheAudiophile81 4 года назад +3

    Vibration is bcz the revo has the lowest deflection it moves out of way of the cueball when you hit with max 3 tip english that is why! But i love the video you should look at the mezz ignite sounds just like wood when you hit the cue ball and it has low deflection as a revo. Thanks!

    • @PoolAddiction
      @PoolAddiction  4 года назад +1

      You are exactly right about the vibration which shows how much flex the shaft has which in turn generally means less deflection a shaft has. I want to an Ignite when I get my hands on one. The next shaft I plan on reviewing (because I have right now) is a Go Custom CF shaft. Hopefully I will be able to get that one out before too long. Glad you liked the video!

    • @PoolAddiction
      @PoolAddiction  4 года назад

      Thanks I am glad you liked the video! The Revo has a lot going for it but I am just more comfortable with the Cynergy and Prime M. The main gripe I have with the Cynergy is it plays a little soft. Probably my favorite thing about the Revo is how effortless it is to move the ball around the table, the english transfers so effectively to the cue ball. The problem I has was with the slow cut shots, I just could not consistently get used to to it. Hope you like part 2 and thanks for watching!

  • @naonao76
    @naonao76 4 года назад

    Great video. Thanks for making the effort! Just a thought.. it'd be great to hear your opinion on what does each test comparisons actually mean for a player's game performance. You could even talk about intangible pros vs cons about each of the tests, in case there are no real tangible differences. For instance, on the vibration test, does more vibration on the shaft translates to a better performance? I always thought less vibration would be better, and that higher end shafts would always have less vibration. However, after seeing the Revo vibrate the way it did, I'm not sure about that anymore. Anyway, if you can maybe get this type of information on a follow-up video (part 3 maybe?), I would definitely tune in. Thanks!

    Great Video again. 👍 I bought a HXT LD Shaft to pimp up my 27 year old cue. It was like learning to play pool again. 😂
    But i also have a question : The Revo shaft was vibrating like hell. Does that mean, this shaft is better than the others ?
    Really looking forward the second part of your video.
    Best regards & greetings from Germany

    • @PoolAddiction
      @PoolAddiction  4 года назад +2

      Thanks, I am glad you liked the video and it's nice to hear from Germany Pool Addicts! The Revo does a good bit of vibration and that can be due to the light foam front end mass it has. LD shafts are designed to have a lighter front end mass which gives them more flex. The Revo is known for how LD it actually is but that doesn't mean i's going to be better. The Revo is an excellent shaft, however, for me it's too much low deflection so it's not best suited for my game. The Revo has nice hit also which I really liked (great feedback). The HXT is a really good budget LD shaft and you get a lot for the price.

  • @RichardsWorld
    @RichardsWorld 2 года назад

    That's a digital caliper, not a micrometer. A micrometer is shaped like a C. Some sellers on Amazon will add the word micrometer to a caliper for advertising. They are different though. And you know tips can mushroom, so you should have measured across the end of the ferrule, not over the tip.

    • @PoolAddiction
      @PoolAddiction  2 года назад

      OH! I know the difference but I didn't even realize I said micrometer! I have found that in some of my videos, I don't realize exactly what I said sometimes because I am on camera and trying to think of what I am trying to say. That's why now I try to script my dialog to keep me from doing that. Good catch and I can't believe I didn't catch it in editing either. I need to see if I can correct that in the video. As far as the way I used the caliper, I can't get the display to show on the camera if I were to do it across the ferrule like you're supposed to. I know at the time the tips were not mushroomed as far as could tell at that time. However, since this video, I have changed up my overhead camera angle thanks to the new table light and am able to do it correctly on camera. Thank you for the comment and I hope you liked the video overall!

As of 3 April 22, I have tried the Revo12.4, Cynergy 12.5, BeCue Prime M 12, Go Customs 11.8, and an undisclosed prototype that is now on the market but is a little different from the version I tried. Out of all those, my favorite is the prototype shaft. But out of the CF shafts you can buy that I've tried, the BeCue Prime M is my favorite. I will say this though, I can't wait to try and review the new BeCue Engage shaft.

    your caliper measurements are a bit off on tips. The end of the caliper is actually measuring about an inch down the shaft and not the tip size. Also since you are clamping parallel to the shaft and not perpendicular if you are not perfectly centered your measurement will be off.

    • @PoolAddiction
      @PoolAddiction  3 года назад +1

      You’re right about getting the caliper centered because I’m going parallel to the shaft but that’s the only way I could get the measurement on camera. I did pay attention to get the caliper centered. As far as going an inch down the shaft with the caliper, there’s no increase to the taper in that particular area of the shaft so the diameter an inch down the shaft is the same as the tip. Thanks for pointing that out. In the future I am going to figure out a better angle to get the measurements on camera.

      No, it isn't and in the video, I used the wrong terminology for it, it's a caliper. The reason I was doing that way was to get the reading on camera. I wasn't able to do it the way you're supposed at that camera angle. It should be perpendicular to the tip, however, I made real sure to be in the correct spot of the tip when I did it.

    Is more viberation better or the other way around?

    • @PoolAddiction
      @PoolAddiction  3 года назад

      Vibration has more to do with the feedback or feel a player likes. The vibration can indicate how much low end mass a low deflection shaft has which is what makes a low deflection shaft what it is. It also representative of how the shaft is constructed and the material properties. There's no way that I know of where can look at the amount of vibration and directly correlate that to how much or little deflection a shaft has. The vibration felt is after the cue tip has hit the cue ball so the vibration itself doesn't affect the shot so the vibration itself has more to do with the feel/feedback you prefer when shooting. All of this is based of what I have found out researching and my experience. I hope I was able to give you the answer you were looking for. Thanks for watching!

    • @PoolAddiction
      @PoolAddiction  3 года назад

      @@watchouch Most carbon fiber shafts are meant to have softer tips on them. With that said though I believe a lot of the pros use hard tips on their CF shafts. The pros typically use hard tips because they don't wear out as fast. Me personally, I would not go any harder than a Medium tip. I have tested Zan S, Zan Hybrid Max, Kamui Brown S, Kamui Black S, and all the standard tips that came with the Revo, Cynergy, and Becue. My favorites so far are the Kamui Black S and Zan Hybrid Max. The Kamui Black S plays more like a medium tip and the Zan Hybrid Max plays closer to a hard tip. I have also heard a lot of people like the Techno Dud tip on Revos in particular. but I have no experience with them.
