So I recently sold my set of JD Custom Cues after trying newer carbon fiber jump and break sticks. I already bought the Cuetec Breach and Propel (Ghost editions, not that it matters). Liked the BK Rush and Air Rush also but didn't see anything that justified the price difference in those and the...

I've been using mine for a couple of years (or close to it). I don't think it's as good as the Z2 or Z3 shafts I'd been using for years prior... But I had no problems adjusting to it. It has it's benefits over those shafts though... It's easier to clean, doesn't warp, and doesn't deny or ding...

I don't really believe in any system for banking personally (especially on diamond tables). Too many variations in bank exit angle depending of speed and spin to use a mirror system or diamond system reliably. They might get you in the ballpark, but for me, it's more about feel and visualization...

I placed my order with JD... I went with the wrap on the shooter and wrapless on the break. Ordered a matching Jump cue too and a spare set of JPs for my Jacoby. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Lmao, most of those describe my Jacoby HB7, which I think is a beautiful cue and I get constant compliments on. And yeah, I'm only ordering the butt, using a CF shaft... That's also why I don't have any ring work at the joint. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Definitely different strokes for different folks... Half of the most common hated things can be found in my Jacoby HB7... Turquoise, floating points, a hand written signature and date, points on the butt sleeve. And I think it's a beautiful cue. I'm about to have a cue made that most of you...

It would be... If you want to help ME out, you can help me decide which way to go with this handle. Keep in mind everything white is white snake juma. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

I appreciate the jesture man, honestly... But I'd rather you just remember my fallen brothers and say a prayer for the kids growing up without a father, and their mothers doing it alone. I don't usually bring up my military service because I don't want the recognition, knowing that there are...

I'm going to find someone around here with 1 of his cues and hit a few balls with it before I order... I'm using my own shaft (Jacoby Black CF) so I'm not super worried about deflection, more balance, feedback, and feel Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Which of these 2 setups would you guys go with? I'm working with JD now, he says same price for either. Going to drop the turquoise and all the white is going to be white snake juma instead of ivory Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

So would it be better to remove those inlays all together or replace the turquoise with something else? Recommendations? Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

I started out just wishing my Jacoby was ebony instead of maple so my CF shaft would match better... Then I got on the custom cue kick. I am really a Marine BTW... This is me on the right, Fallujah Iraq 15 years ago this month (battle started November 8th and went through the middle of...
