You won't find a nicer guy to deal with than Dave Jacoby ... I have purchased many cues from him over the last 8 years and every cue was masterfully crafted and played great ... A whole lot of Cue for the money ...

I must have caught him on a bad day, I saw him last year at APA Nationals and told him I had just got one of his cues, and was telling him how much I liked it. He didn't really seem to give a crap and gave me the cold shoulder...
Oh well, cue still hit good 
Very thin butts. Very front heavy cues. I was a bigger fan of their SS jointed cues than the new "sleeved" stainless ring over phenolic. Shaft tapers are thick, and they throw a ton. I have one - it plays pretty sporty - no flaws that I can find whatsoever.

That might have been only a few months his son passed away... or maybe that was two years ago?
I shot with one of his cues for over a year. Played very well - nothing negative to say about them at all. For the investment, it played REAL well. I didn't spend too much on it. Good choice.

I love my Jacoby and they were awesome to deal with. As my cue was being built, I received updates and photos of the progress, and when I requested any changes, they were made without complaint or hesitation. Dave has always been a sweetheart, and his family and staff are wonderful. One of the best experiences you could have with a cuemaker!

His son passed away??? You mean the young man that worked with Dave at many shows? First I heard about that. I'd like to know the details.
I have 4 custom Jacoby cues and love each one. We also had Jacoby make our rental cues for our billiard room. I have also even helped out Dave at DCC working his booth when he needed breaks. I have never had a customer service issue with his cues. Never an argument. Great cues. As far as resale value I wonder why that's an issue before you even buy. They are like ALL cues when you first buy them....99% will go down. They are supposed to depreciate. I think Jacobys depreciate a lot less because they are a good value up front. We got 3 custom ones in today at our store. Their shop is a bit backlogged in orders right now. Which tells me that if you are that busy in THIS economy, you are doing something very right.
Maybe since I am a dealer, I get special treatment; but I have NEVER heard of anyone having problems with service with Jacoby.

Brandon was alive and well when I called Jacoby a few months ago. Maybe it's a different son?jay helfert said:

David's other sons' name was Shane. He passed away in November 2005. He was a veteran of Gulf War 1. Tank commander if I remember right...but not sure.

Was Shane David's son, or Brandon's?cueandcushion said:
Too bad to hear that. One of the curses in life is outliving your children. Being a father to my second son, I can only pray it never happens to me.

Wow, this says what I experienced! I have two custom Jacoby's and they hit well, are beautifully made, and the Jacoby's guys were great to work with. I enjoy seeing them every year in Vegas!
Great product, Great Service
I have been playing with a jacoby for a few years. Usually when I buy anything I get buyers remorse, have'nt felt guilty about my purchase yet! I have several friends that own one and not a single person has ever complained to me about anything. You can get your predator or ob-1 shaft through them and with matching rings if you wish to do so.

I bought one from him at Valley Forge. Great design! I fell in love with the cue I bought from him as soon as I saw it. Took me a little time to get use to the throw on the shaft but Im use to low deflection shafts like Predators. Brandon and his father were a pleasure to do business with. Cant say enough good things about Brandon as he walked my buddy and I through the process of buying our first cues. As a matter of fact, a couple months after I bought the cue I got a shirt and a letter from them stating how they appreciated my business. The fact that they sent a shirt and a personal note shows the kind of customer service they have and will definitely buy a couple more cues from them.
