I love Jacoby cues! I still have two. I just sold a very nice custom one of a kind. One of my cues got stolen years ago, and I did not have enough money to buy what I would have liked, so I bought a used plain cocobolo cue "just to get me by" for about $100-150. Well years went by, and I never got around to buying something to replace it. In fact I ended up buying two more!I currently have many cues, yet I still play with that "temporary" cue, though I did add an OB shaft to it about six months ago. I think the quality and value are great. Too bad you didn't get the one I just let go.
I would highly recomend them!
