4 reviews for Cuetec AVID Chroma CTAC5 – Currency

  1. Dan C. –

    New pool cue who dis?

    I have to say, first off, the finish on this cue is absolutely gorgeous in person. Time will tell whether it holds up over time. I did have to call and email customer service a couple times because of something I screwed up when I placed my order. I ended up wanting a heavier cue after I’d already ordered a lighter one. No problem for these guys, they mailed me a couple weights and a cool sticker lightening quick. The ONLY reason I’m giving this review 4 stars instead of 5 is because of how much I despise cuetec joint pins. They’re plenty durable and sturdy, but it feels like it takes a year to screw together. Also these pins are notorious for getting stuck together. All that aside, I am SUPER satisfied with how this thing shoots and feels. I had an old cuetec fiberglass shaft many years back and that thing was a turd. These new Avid cues just feel lovely! I’m still getting used to the tiger everest tip… So far so reliable though. Thanks cuetec and pooldawg! You’ve got a Quite content customer 🙂

    Terrific cue shoots nicely

  3. Amy M. –

    Loving my new cue!!!

    I scoped out a bunch of reviews and videos on worthwhile cues that don’t break the bank. This cue, the base color came up a bunch and I took the dive. Ive been using my teams cues, all more expensive than this one. I never want to use theirs again, I love my new stick!

  4. Rick A. –

    Very good looking cue and

    Honestly, extremely solid looking cue and the shaft with the lowe deflection is great. Very satisfactory English and the tip is good but I’m going to put a muccurie clear med. It gets a lot of attention every where I play at. And pool dawg has great service and shipment

Weight & Balance

This cue is offered in WBSCORP, Yes. A lighter cue is easier to accelerate for a whippy, spin-friendly stroke; a heavier cue plants more solidly and drives the cue ball with less effort. Most players settle between 19 and 20 ounces.

This model takes a weight-bolt system, so the weight and balance point can be tuned after purchase. Adding weight toward the butt moves the balance rearward for a more planted feel; less weight shifts it forward for a livelier stroke. The balance point on a finished cue usually sits about 18 to 19 inches from the butt.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Cuetec AVID Chroma CTAC5 - Currency use?

It uses a 3/8X14 21.3mm (Cynergy) joint. That means any 3/8X14 21.3mm (Cynergy) shaft will thread straight onto this butt, so you can add a spare or upgrade later without changing cues. If you are matching a shaft you already own, check its pin against 3/8X14 21.3mm (Cynergy) before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

What shaft diameter is the Cuetec AVID Chroma CTAC5 - Currency?

This cue ships with a 12.75mm shaft. Thinner shafts put more spin on the cue ball and feel crisper through the stroke; larger diameters feel fuller and are more forgiving on off-centre hits. Neither is better — it comes down to how you like the cue to hit.

Is this a carbon fiber or wood shaft cue?

The Cuetec AVID Chroma CTAC5 - Currency comes with a Fiberglass shaft. Carbon fiber will not warp, ignores humidity and deflects less; quality maple gives the traditional feel a lot of players still prefer. Both play at a high level, so pick the one that matches how you want the cue to feel.

What is the Cuetec AVID Chroma CTAC5 - Currency built for?

It is set up as a playing cue. Playing cues are balanced for control on shot-making, break cues are heavier with a harder tip for power transfer, and jump cues are short and light to get the cue ball airborne. Using the right one also protects your playing cue from break wear.

What kind of grip does it have?

The grip is wrapless. Irish linen wicks sweat and stays tacky, leather is plush and premium, and a no-wrap finish is fast and needs no maintenance. If your hands run warm, linen is usually the safer pick.

Is Quarter King an authorized Cuetec dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Cuetec dealer, so this cue is genuine and carries the full manufacturer warranty against warpage and defects in workmanship. Warranty claims go through us — you do not have to deal with the factory yourself.

How fast does it ship, and can I return it?

Shipping is free on orders over $98 in the contiguous US, $5.50 flat otherwise, and you get tracking as soon as it moves. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery on unchalked, unused product — contact us first for a return authorization so it is credited without delay.
