    Jflowers by jiasen, thoughts?

    So there's quite a few jflowers cases here by jiasen, production models made to the specifications of the trademark owner (JB). I'm pretty sure that if they were in some way designed by JB, they'd be of good quality, so my question is, does anyone here have experience with these cases? I saw a...

    Shaft warped, what went wrong?

    I've had this Jacoby ultra pro shaft for about a year or so, and when I suspected something was wrong, I had a repair guy look at it and not only was it warped right around where the taper ends, the facings weren't flat and the brass insert was misaligned. His advice was that this shaft had too...

    Joint pins, do they misalign over time?

    So I have been playing with a players cue with a jacoby ultra in 5/16x18 (brass insert) for the past year. Screwing in the shaft has never been smooth and always made creaking sounds, but was dead straight when fully attached brand new. Fast forward about a year, same sounds but now the cue...

    Proud owners of custom cues, what do you do with the spare shaft?

    Ok so recently I've been looking at custom cues and I've finally ordered one from a cue maker I like that is at my budget. The build default comes with 2 shafts, which if I'm not wrong is quite common when purchasing customs. So my question is, what do you guys like to do with the other...

    Question on oxidation of brass inserts in shafts

    So I have this Jacoby ultra pro in 5/16x18 using a brass insert. Been using it over a year with no issues. The pool hall in my area just opened today after 3 months, and when I took out my cue from the locker, a blueish green powdery substance could be seen in the thread of the male joint...

    HOW cue tips from Taiwan, any users?

    So I've been trying to search up How tips online for review, but because of the name being an adverb as well I couldn't find any review other than KPY's video review on How's fb page. SVB aparantly uses this tip now as well. Tips I've used are kamui black soft, kamui tan med, victory med...

    Joint conversions and retaps, what can and cannot be realistically done?

    Not sure if a similar thread has already been posted but, I currently have this Jacoby ultra pro in 5/16x18 with a brass insert I got a while back and I'd like to fit it with a radial butt. Is it possible to drill right into the brass insert and use a radial tap on it? And if so would it be...
