Jacoby Box Cue Review

Mr. Jacoby helped me come up with a simple cue design that represented my preferences. The product far exceeded my expectations for beauty and playability.

I have bought cues from many cuemakers but found very few who listen as well as David Jacoby. Whether you love it or hate it, I am happy to say that this cue is exactly what I asked for. High figure birdseye with natural color, 64 ivory inlays, jigsawed together, with all dimensions of the cue exact to my player preferences.

So often a cuemaker will turn a handle thin or substitue a different linnen color...Mr. Jacoby remembered it all and delivered. Tight grained shaft wood, white with double black spec linnen pressed the way I want it...even the ivory dot on the 2nd matching joint protector.

I ran the first rack I played with the cue and shot well across a 10 hour session. I'm really impressed with this cue's playability. The hit is quiet and very precise. This cue is a home run and I would recommend David Jacoby's work to anyone.

I could see some lines inside the box .. not sure if it's pattern or what? Any insight to this?

Dave calls this "broken ivory" and I thought it was interesting if not entirely original. I expect smaller scrap pieces can be used, thereby saving some ivory and keeping the costs lower...but this is congecture on my part. What is clear is the the broken ivory is a fresh approach. Each rectangle has the same shaped pieces but they are from different parts of the tusk so grain patterns and figure vary. It may not be for everyone, but I liked that it is distinctly Jacoby.

The butt is a match for the front. Thanks for checking it out!
