Very fair post. After a bad experience it makes sense to be cautious. I have been using this w my Claen Gleem for several months with good results. I now have just a bit of visible cleaner residue on the cleaning strips. The machine seems to be cleaning BETTER. As time goes on, if the residue...

Play 9 ball and get good at snookering him back. Or tell your momma he ain't playin' nice ;)

This was so beautiful! Made me cry like a chik flik. That, and I just got the credit card bill.

What makes a CF shaft so expensive? These shafts cost more than many nice cues with maple shafts, even maple LD shafts. Is this just supply and demand? Marketing? Material cost? Complexity of manufacture? Asking for a frined :-) From a material perspective, the carbon fiber blank and...

I hope your results are what you are looking for. It seems to me that if you apply Aramith cleaner, then wipe it all off by hand, the machine wouldn't even be needed? What difference in the balls do you see from the machine after you have done step 1 of applying and step 2 of removing before...

While I understand that, the 100% Aramith clogs the cleaner much more quickly. The mixture described in a cleaning machine is a really nice balance of outstanding consistency and clean / polished balls without gumming up the cleaning pads.

When the alcohol and aramith mixture I mentioned is spryed on while the machine is running, it seems the alcohol keeps the Aramith from settling on the balls. Very unscientific, but I just opened a new box of Dynaspheres and right from the box they have the same squeaky clean feel of balls...

Nope... second wife. First wife got tired of the filth. Don't know the second wife.

ANY Cleaner that affects "the first few racks" and then returns to "normal" is moving residue on the balls to become residue on the table. Over time, that is not a good thing. Also, it requires compensation in aim and stroke to accommodate the changing condition of the balls. Consistency in...

"A lot more"? Where is your scientific evidence for this? This is just my opinion, but I feel it is correct based on the physical properties of carbon fiber and wood... Honestly, to measure RELATIVE deflection between carbon fiber shafts under different brands is almost impossible. Even Dr...

I was very unaware of this. The jflowescues.com site looks very legit, and the person I purchased from is a respected long standing business. The manufacturer should have at least sold the good products (unless the designs are also proprietary) and changed it to their own brand and name...

Yes, surprising money for the NASCAR level drivers with national sponsorship. My daughter taught Bill Elliot's daughter in school. The money volume was astonishing even back then. Sadly, the life style of the race scene with all of the drunks and filthy immorality of the fans and groupies is...

It was listed in Ebay from Koinkid with an "or best offer" price. I contacted them through their FB page which is called "All About the Game Room" and ask what rheir best offer price would be if I buy direct from them. They gave me a very fair price. Well below retail. They seem to stock all...

I agree, it is clearly the joint, and on a brand new cue, I hoped for better. It is certainly not worth sending back to the manufacturer for this, and I don't think warranty work is even readily available for these cues as they are Chinese made. If it were significant I would ask for a...

This is the first cue I have bought in 20 years. I was, and am still satisfied with my beautiful, classic Viking custom F 50, but I wanted to experience a carbon fiber shaft. This is a classic, beautiful cue. J.Flowers JF20-21 with 12.5mm tip, 19 oz total weight, carbon fiber shaft. Zoom in...

I posted a similar concern on the J.Flowers Member Group on FB. A person named Greg Hogue replied to my comment and said, "You are wrong LOL Efren was at my place playing and he made those comments" Although this is not the EXACT quote, it is the concept of what he said. He is either totally...

I like to learn from other's experience. I don't mind reading a long post if it is coherent and I am interested in the topic. There are some posts, and posters that I have learned to skip as soon as I see their Avatar. As far as new or seasoned members, doesn't matter. Same rules apply to...

They play the same. Yes, of course you can see the ball spin better, but honestly, if I'm watching my shot as I should, the action on the ball is only visually interesting to the opponent or spectators IMHO. It can help when you are shooting for practice though.

I will buy a set of those! :-)

Wow! No, I did not. I even use the Eagle cue ball that came with the set. I cleaned all of the balls with Aramith cleaner before first use, and have had zero problems with them. Not even on the break line where the cue ball runs. I have older "Mali" cloth 21 oz and honestly it's pretty tough...
