The results of those efforts are now clear. Avid Surge cues deliver superior performance, even when compared with cues costing hundreds of dollars more.GLASS COMPOSITE BONDED:Cuetecs AVID Surge shafts are constructed with multi-plies of glass composite bonded to A-grade kiln dried hard maple. This advanced patent-pending construction and bonding process not only strengthens each Surge shaft, but also increasing the shafts dynamic stiffness. The .75mm bonded glass composite layers run the entire length of the AVID shaft, with each layer oriented to maximize performance and durability. The result of this layering process is a shaft that exhibits the feel of wood, with the increased power and longevity of a composite.AIR LIGHT FRONT-END CONSTRUCTION:Less weight means less deflection. Benefiting from their ultra-strong glass composite wood bonding construction, every AVID Surge shaft features Cuetecs Air Light front-end build. This construction allows the AVID shaft to be bored out more than 10 inches, creating an ultra-rigid cavity with far less mass, resulting in a more accurate and durable shaft.POWER+ PHENOLIC FERRULE:Measuring only 7mm in length, the rock-hard, Power+ phenolic ferrule on each AVID Surge shaft not only protects the impact point for Surges supercharged energy delivery, but also provides a more familiar and stable platform for tip maintenance and replacement over the life of the shaft.POWER+ PHENOLIC TIP & GLASS PAD:Selected for their durability and energy transfer attributes, each AVID Surge shaft is paired with a Power+ phenolic tip backed by an ultra-strong, and oriented-fiber glass tip pad. The pads fiber orientation better evenly distributes impact forces and when paired with the Power+ tip delivers increased energy, whether its blasting through the rack, or over a ball.ACUEWEIGHT GENERATION II (BRK):Developed to further enhance each players ability to tailor their AVID cue to their game, the second generation Acueweight system utilizes a fused butt cap design allowing for more cavity space and the inclusion of spacers to move the balance point of the cue without adding weight or the need for costly proprietary tools.DUO EXTENSION READY (BRK):Engineered to work with future Cuetec products, every AVID cue arrives equipped with a DUO Extension set compatible bumper installed. Please note AVID cues do not work with the heavier, original Cuetec Smart Extension.Additional informationCUE & SHAFT SPECSStandard Butt Length 29″Standard Shaft Length: 29Standard Tip: Power+ Phenolic with Glass Pad (Extra Hard)Joint: 3/814 Cuetec Joint (21.30mm)Shaft Collar: 1.5mm BlackStandard Cue & Shaft Weight: 19oz (Acueweight adjustable in 0.25 oz. increments)Standard Shaft Weight: 4.3ozWrap: None
