Jacoby carbon fiber

[riding9]

For the people that had a chance to play with it. How do you compare it against other carbon fiber and LD shafts?

I did a few shots at the derby with it, I liked the taper

 

[Icon of Sin]

Hit with it at the International Open. Hit well. I wouldnt go so far as to say better then the Revo. Hit is in the hand of the beholder.

 

[BRussell]

Any other info about it? Diameter at tip? Type of ferrule, if any?

Thinner, longer taper. Very low squirt.

That was the prototype. They’ve made external and internal changes.

12.3mm

It has some kind of white ferrule.

I pre-ordered one in 3/8x11 for $475. I don't know if I'll keep it, but we'll see. I'm not sure when it's coming in but I do like Jacoby products and I'm willing to try it out. 12.3mm is correct.

I played several shots, both cuts and banks over at DCC and I liked it. I think it felt more solid than the Revo. I usually do not like a shaft that thin but for some reason I did not mind that one at all.

They will be offering to in all joint styles. I may consider it when they come out with 5/16 by 14 but i refuse to buy a new cue to accommodate a shaft. I also refuse to retap one and void the warranty.

I hit some balls with it yesterday and liked the hit. Sounds/feels closer to a maple shaft than the Revo. I would almost say similar to the new cuetec cynergy. Please note I have not had adequate time with the Jacoby or the Cynergy to really say. Hope this helps.

I pre-ordered one and they said it would be a 12.5mm. Also,I heard the new release date is February 24th.

On these Carbon Fiber shafts, do you need to wear a glove?

It seems the Pros are...

You don't need to. I've been told some don't like the feel of it, but Bergman seems to doing well without one.
