Ome of the reasons that I like the SMO shaft is that it’s more flexible than most.

We keep circling this over and over when it comes to low deflection shafts, YES, low front end mass is what allows for low deflection but the shaft needs to deflect instead of the CB.

Practice what I Preach

The logic of my one year sentence was that a bb gun could put out an eye. Well Your Honor he was running away and wasn't apt to look back as he knew I was shooting. Heck I didn't get him till the last possible shot. As he was at the corner of the house, a good long distance away. Right between the shiulder blades but just high enough to get the vertebra where the neck met the shoulders. Through his shirt it raised a welt. Heck it was my day old Daisy. 😉 🤷‍♂️.

Yeah, it's interesting. No mention of deflection either.

I'm very curious what this will play like and would really like to compare to my V4s. I would love slightly lower deflection with the same feel but not sure if that is what they're going for here or why they changed how the shaft flexes.

nope, work on your logic. It works where there is a God. Your belief doesn't matter. There is objective truth. Now Inferno was backwards in his original post but he's right on if there's a God, then your belief matters not. It would have to be who's God as in who is God, since whose god denotes posession and if there is a God, and there is, He is everyone's. People's willful or otherwise ignorance, or denial of that doesn't make it any less so.

A real shot in the dark here, but anyone know who might want to sell me the joint protectors pictured here? I’m the current owner of this cue and it’s sticking around a while. I’ll probably post in the wanted forum, but this is really specific.

No direct help but ...I have virtually same cue and the threads are not standard.

Good luck!

There was a short clip on it in the Super billiards expo post I think, or maybe I saw it somewhere else. Some reviewer was going around and stopped at the Jacoby booth to look at his award winning cue then asked about the new shaft. Brandon took him over to a table and let him shoot some balls with it. He shot about 20 shots and I don't remember him missing. Brandon also showed where the difference was by flexing the shaft sideways back and forth. It seemed to bend fairly easily in the middle. So it looks as though they designed it to flex away from the ball more easily when using english. At least I think I saw it that way.
Edit found it.

Thank you for sharing!
It sounds like Brandon Jacoby made the shaft more flex which is the complete opposite of what other manufacturers are doing making their carbon shafts more stiff. Very interesting!
