Indeed, JB is the first company that comes to mind when I think about top quality cases, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. You really do get alot of value especially with his rugged series for the price and I am planning on getting a really nice one when I can cough up the dough. However...

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...

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...

UPDATE: if anyone's still looking and is willing to give some advice, I've determined that it is indeed the shaft and not the butt. Other shafts appear perfectly straight when screwed in but not mine. Since I've already received advice on dirty facings, I won't go there. But if it's the insert...

Sorry, I don't think I explained my position very clearly, that's on me. There's no cue maker here, but there is one guy who does repair work, but because he's the only one who does such services, his service fees can get pretty steep which is understandable since most of his clients are...

Thanks, you've been a great help :)

Yes, it certainly was helpful, appreciate it ��. But is there a way to stop the facings from getting dirty? Or is it just a matter of time?

Yeah, posted one wrong post on the main forum instead of product talk asking about a cue. Couldn't figure out how to remove it from my phone. I just come to this forum whenever I can't find answers, need help and want some advice. Guess that's too much to ask huh

Not exactly trying to buy anything with a radial pin, it's just that the cue maker I'm gonno go with said the pin he prefers to make his cues with is the radial pin, so that's what I've decided to go with.

Problem is in my area there are no cue makers and those that do cue maintenance work usually charge prices that are only justified if done on expensive customs or high end productions. I am currently saving up for a custom cue myself and am planning to have the shaft joint converted to radial...

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...

I ordered a cue from Al bautista. Not exactly the priciest customs, but I've read nothing but good things about him here so I figured I'd give it a shot given the good price. Though cos of that, I'm not expecting the cue value to skyrocket over time. But it'd be nice if keeping one of the shafts...

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...

So I'm pretty much set on getting a break cue from pechauer. Leaning more towards the black ice cos it looks slick af, but just wanted to ask anyone who has tried both if there was any significant difference between the maple one and the black ice. There's a pretty good big price difference...

Thanks for the help, so I'm guessing for humid areas, a shaft with wood or phenolic threads would be more ideal?

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...

I've heard people say it's some magical tip ahead of its time, but how much better (if at all) is it really than other similar tips?

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...

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...
