Pool Product Review: Is This $300 Carbon Fiber Cue Any Good?

Спорт

!!! UPDATE: THIS CUE HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN AWAY !!!
What's going on everybody?!?
After being asked plenty of times what I think about a cue, glove, chalk or whatever type of pool product, I thought I would try to start a new series where I can review a pool product and based on my review you can decide if you'd like to try it.
In today's video, I'll be reviewing the JFlowers JF10-10F playing cue ( jflowerscues.com/product/jf10... ). I'll be reviewing each of its specs, hit a few shots with it, and then try to break and run a 9-ball rack with it.
If you think you might be interested in trying a JFlowers cue you can check out there website www.jflowerscues.com and you have until the END OF AUGUST to use the discount code LILCHRIS for 10% off of your purchase.

    NOTE: The cue in this video has already been given away and Robbie was the winner! You can see Robbie using his new cue here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l62BxLaugrPeZJs.html At 4:23, of this video, you hear me mention about a transport case that WAS used when cues are purchased. That hard transport case is no longer being used. Instead, the cues are packaged in a soft transport sleeve.

Try a new cue and you suddenly can shoot lights out.. Never missing a ball.. Till you miss a ball then your "new cue powers" have faded away...lol

    Great review as always. I'm 76 and been playing pool since i was 16. You would think I know a lot about pool. But, when ever I watch one of your videos I nearly always learn something that I can go and practice. I've always used a 12mm tip because I'm a english lover and like the action I get with a smaller tip. the Flowers Cue seems like a really good deal especially with the CF shaft. I checked the deflection on my cue and was aghast, I've had the same cue for many years and your review has made me take a second look at buying a new cue stick. Thanks so much for the tips your videos always show. Please keep it up.

    This was a very nice review Chris! Beautifully done Break and run, I really liked your break, you broke solid with a medium, not too hard hit, because you played with a magic rack, the wing ball went right in, and the balls spread apart nicely, with a wide open table. My favorite shot of the rack, was when you shot the 5 ball and stunned over to the short rail, with stun and a little left, to come down for the 6, you had very good speed control, not hitting it too hard. Keep making awesome videos, John

    The first cue that I bought (20 years ago) as a novice player was based on how "cool" it looked. It was quite heavy with a wooden drive shaft. Very decent cue but very heavy. A good informational video like this one would most definitely have directed me toward a different choice. Good review! Clear explanation - Thank you!

I was totally sold after this review of the JF10-10F, and I'm planning to get one, unless I'm the lucky one who wins the raffle. ;) But I'm definitely thinking about trying it and see how it feels, because I've never played with a carbon fiber shaft and I liked the sound of it when you tested it. Great new format, great review, and great channel! Keep it up!
