Can you do a review of the XLR8 carbon fiber shaft from DFE Billiards, or an affordable jump cue, and do you prefer wood or carbon fiber shafts on a jump cue?
Hi, Todd. That shaft is in our plans for sure! I think both a wooden and CF shaft can work on a jump cue. With CF it's somewhat easier to get the cue ball airborne because of its low weight though.
Every cue from jflowers that come with a carbon fiber shaft have the exact shaft and the only differences are the printed inlays. This is all from knowledge gained on TH-cam and comments lol so don't 100% trust me but maybe put 85% of your trust into this comment!
@@IcedDragon420 Ive shot with multiple (5 or 6) Jflowers cues and the cues definitely have very different hits on each cue even with all of them having the same cf shaft, also the only ones with printed inlays are the cheapest group (novice i think) there's 3 different price points for their cues, after that they are real inlays
@@thomasswain7415 do you have videos with the cues! I'd deffinetly watch them if you made them. I'd like more input on how each of them feel even though the shaft is the same, if you switched one if the shafts between from one butt to the one you are using does it feel the same on that butt as well and that it's the quality of the butt of the cue that makes the difference in feel, or do you think that the shafts could possibly be inconsistent like wood even though they are supposed high quality shafts. Not saying they aren't high quality, in actually looking into buying one of these ASAP before price increases
@@IcedDragon420 I personally dont have any reviews but my father does on Facebook Brad Swain, he has i think 5 different reviews on playing cues and one on their break, I do believe you could also look up Calvin Post for more reviews. In my opinion the shafts are very similar, quality control is quite good imo, and yes! changing from butt to butt of cue has very big difference as it changes the balance, the "feel" sometimes weight. If you are interested I will say that what works for one person may not work for others but I would definitely reccomend jflowers
I bought a JF10-10. In a couple of weeks my game picked up immensely. Just had to get use to the carbon fiber after using wood forever. I told my friends about this cue and let them use it. They were amazed at its play! Thank you JFlowers
Hello , love the reviews especially the JFlowers cues , I would have never given them much thought until I started watching your reviews. I think the next cue should be a full on GO carbon fiber cue , I know there are reviews on the GO shafts but a full on cue would be awesome , talk about what goes into making the butt and how solid the full cue actually is and what the playability of the cue is like . Keep up the awesome reviews and man your game is solid bro
Would you recommend this jflower cue for me I'm still 12, it cost 15000 peso in Philippines. I will save money so that I can buy this one. I used budget cues at present.
Please review a high end ($3,000) J. Flowers cue, it'll be good for people who want to dive deeper into what this brand can offer for that price point.
What u mentioned about the wooden shaft and the envirement were u live is exactly why I'm looking for carb f cue. Great video ... Good to know about a cheaper option.
Just bought my this cue from j flowers how long does the shipping normally take ? I can’t wait I finally pulled the trigger this color really stood out 🙏🤙
Thank you, Andrejs! Your prize for winning that competition is airborne! I've got 5 break cues I can review. Let's see if that category wins the vote :)
I bought the cue and played with it for 2 days. This pool cue with carbon fiber shaft exceeded my expectations. I use to play with club cues and I feel that the tip of Jflowers carbon fiber shaft is little harder than what I am familiar with. Do you think this because its a new tip and it was very first shots with it?
Hey, cool hearing that you love the JFlowers cue! The tip is a Moori medium multilayered tip. If you are used to playing with "club cues", sometimes these have beaten up older tips which can feel softer. Also, the carbon fiber "feeling" can also be why you are experiencing something "new". Give it some time, if the tip is not to your liking..just change it :D Good luck and congrats with your new cue!
@@CueListings Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, you are right, I shall give it some time to be familiar with it as this is the first time I played with CF shaft, first time to play with 12.5 mm tip as I played only with 13 mm, and it's even the first time I played with new cue :D. Thanks again and will let you know about my experience later.
@@CueListings No doubt that this CF worth every penny paid for. I am not yet 100% familiar with it, but last night I was able to clear the table after getting one chance after my friend break.
Nick, that's a really good question. You know, there are many different variations on similar pins. I know for a fact that some "Radial" pins are not Radial, but an American Bull pin. It still fits like a glove on a Radial pin. My reply would be: If you find a pin that it will fit on..it will play the same, HOWEVER - keep in mind that not all butts have the carbon fiber inlays inside like the JFlowers cues actually has. Those really help to stabilize the cue as a whole. It's pretty amazing that a $300 cue has that to be honest!
Yes JF cues are really good quality cues at affordable prices... From your previous vids i was thinking when you started playing cause your solid shooter and now i got the answer, 90's... Nice wrist watch also
@@CueListings i started 2001 but got serious only after 2004 upto 2012 by mid 2013 i stopped got back only by January 2020 then this pandemic came and stopped again 😒
Just got this one and I have to say I'm ecstatic about it as it plays so well,I also own a predator Sp 2 revo at over three times the price,this j flowers cue is an absolute bargain as our man says,two words buddy,BUY IT!
Ali, I've actually been trying to get that. It's a $900 break cue and they made 500 in their first batch. They got sold out in 1-2-3. Waiting for news about the second batch!
By the way I know you don’t do a lot of other cue sports but it would be really interesting if you tried the carbon snk shaft from go customs. It comes in 9.5mm to 10mm. They are advertising it as a no deflection shaft for pool but it would be cool for you to test it with snooker balls or English pool balls.
That's really cool to hear. I am really not a "drill person", at least not the traditional drills. BUT, I do have this one drill that has helped me having fun when practising my cue ball controll. I'll post it.
@@CueListings you shoot great and and your videos are high quality. I think some more "help" content would be excellent and I'm sure many agree. Take care
For a love of me I don't understand why a cue maker would not sell just a shaft. OK, let's say I'm ready to drop $300.00 for entire cue just to get carbon shaft...but no, let's put on a cue this ridiculous join so shaft cannot be used with another butt. I don't understand their business strategy but if they start selling just carbon shaft with all available joints...at least with most popular...I can guaranty you they would substantially increase the sales.
I think you have misunderstood. JFlowers are selling these cues dirt cheap to get as many out there as possible. They are cue brand, not a shaft brand. And, their 3/8-8 pin is a Radial pin...that fits on ANY Radial pin.
I've been interested in these cues for a while, are all the variants of the JF10 basically the same with just different butts? For example the JF10-10f and this JF10-11 has same shaft but different style butts? I'm looking to get a JF10-08F myself. Would appreciate if anyone could confirm
The models at $300 are all the same shaft and just different butts. The ones costing more are real inlays. Whichever price range, the carbon fiber shaft is still the same.
Can you confirm whether konllen cues are either made in the same factory or are the same just rebranded? Have heard a ton of conflicting things on paper they seem the same. From the carbon fiber inlays in the butt, features, tip and esthetics.
It's made in the same factory, but they had their own specs. I also think they provided the tubes for the shafts themselves. I've heard they are not as good as an "original" JFlowers cue/shaft. Better stick to the authentic one (?).
When you say the cue comes in between 18.5 to 19oz, does it have a weight bolt installed? And do you happen to know the thread size on the butt for addition of weight bolts?
is the shaft actually straight and how straight? what is the tolerance? webpage had some 0.1% tolerance number but it doesnt specify where it is measured:D is it 0.1% tolerance on the lenght of the cue, thickness or straighness... if the shaft is not truly straight than its not worth buying,. and if the compan7y wants buyers they should give us the tolerance numbers. otherwise i will gladly pay 100 extra for company that tells me the tolerances and doesnt send me a crooked shaft
I hear you, J H, and as far as I could tell - it was straight. I am not using high-tech equipment to measure it, but the good old "look for light under it" method at least gives an indication.
Just got my jf10 11 with the black stingray at first I didn't like it but after using it a couple times I dont think I'm goin back to wood shaft happy that I bought this cue well worth the money for a carbon cue
Hi Frank. No, they are not the same company. I don't think they even are a company. More an "Amazon seller". Any JFlowers cue has a lifetime warranty. The Konllen ones do not.
Thanks for the info. This is the second video I've seen about this cue. As a beginner purchasing a Spencer Marston table, which I love, just over a year ago and researching cues now for awhile; I'm really liking this cue. Is a CF cue going to have more deflection - less forgiving than wood because it's a harder material? As a novice, this was just a thought?
A carbon fiber shaft and a low deflection wooden shaft will have about the same deflection. It's a myth (created by the manufacturers) that carbon fiber shafts have lower deflection. The benefits of a carbon fiber shaft are that it will never warp, it's much harder to scratch and it will stay consistent throughout. A wooden shaft can easily get scratches, dinks, and get warped. And, amongst the carbon fiber shafts, the deflection is pretty much the same. Don't believe the hype saying "this carbon fiber shaft has a lower deflection than that carbon fiber shaft". It's simply not true.
@@CueListings I was ready to buy the J Flowers cue at $300 after several weeks of researching information on cue sticks. I asked J Flowers about the ten percent discount I saw on the Lil Chris demonstration of this cue. I conveyed to J Flowers that I was a new player and this was my maximum purchase amount. There rep said if I purchased a $400 cue, I could get the 10%. I thought that was petty.
@don portis Hi Don. I'm not sure I agree with you :/ Their prices are very very very very low already. Adding a 10% discount on top of their low prices seems unfair for them. You should purchase for the $400 they ask (1 cue + 1 case) and you'll be thrilled!
@don portis OK, I just don't see how it can "strike you wrong" that you are not getting a discount when nobody else is getting it at the moment. JFlowers cues are DIRT CHEAP, but FREAKIN GREAT! I think we need to support them..not bleed them dry. Anyways...that's just my 2 cents.
Well, first of all..it's half the price. Secondly the carbon fiber shaft on the JFlowers scores much better on the "pitch sclae", and thirdly it plays better. In my mind there is no doubt which of the 2 cues I would have bought. That is, if you like the design on the $300 cues from JFlowers. They've got 4-5 models in that price range. Or, if you want to add another $200 you can chose from 4-5 more models.
Loved the review so much,just purchased a revo which I'm over the moon with,but at 300 bucks this would make for a great back up,keep up the great work,many thanks again.
Cue Listings Thought so I have a few friends from Norway and caught a faint lilt in your faultless English.update,I have just ordered this cue now,for sure a great back up to my predator revo,thanks for what I believe to be a wise investment,look forward to more of your content,by the way you move around the table with great skill. ,
Cue Listings one more thing pls,I ordered the cue via the j flowers website,and have noticed it will be distributed via Peri cues in China,this is the normal procedure right?

I'm in between this or buying a predator shaft for my current budget stick.
In terms of value for money, I know what I would do personally.
@@CueListings what's that?
@@johngdrums420 I would buy a full JFlowers cue inc a carbon fiber shaft at $300 and not a a Revo shaft alone at $500
@@CueListings I was thinking the wood predator or this carbon stick.. both being 300 bucks.
@@johngdrums420 Ah ok, I understand. Well, I was a wood-guy before. Now I understand the true value that carbon fiber gives me.
Subscribed,very informative I'm interested thank you,by the way do you have Scandinavian roots?

Loved the review so much,just purchased a revo which I'm over the moon with,but at 300 bucks this would make for a great back up,keep up the great work,many thanks again.
Cue Listings Thought so I have a few friends from Norway and caught a faint lilt in your faultless English.update,I have just ordered this cue now,for sure a great back up to my predator revo,thanks for what I believe to be a wise investment,look forward to more of your content,by the way you move around the table with great skill.
