Like its sister cue, the JfFlowers JF1K3-01C is a testament to exceptional and elaborate woodwork: Silver, red brass, rosewood, JAMA, abalone, ebony—and tropical cocobolo hardwood—inlays, embellished with two sections of genuine leather wrap, tooled in a harlequin pattern of a repeating contrasting diamonds. Genuine Mori tip. Aegis ferrule. Technology shaft. Matching joint protectors.
JFLOWERS CARBON FIBER SHAFT COMPARISON CHART
The default shaft option for all JFlowers cues is the Classic – Low Deflection Carbon Fiber Shaft. Nevertheless, you have the opportunity to enhance your cue’s performance by opting for the Crown – Very Low Deflection Carbon Fiber Shaft, available for just an extra $70, or the top-tier S.M.O. – Super Low Deflection Carbon Fiber Shaft for an additional $210. Additionally, if you prefer, you can purchase any of these exceptional shafts separately.
Overall great experience purchasing a high-end cue with the SMO shaft from JFS. Website drop down menus may not have correct options for the specific cues – For example, the drop down menu for the pin only had radial, but the butt of the cue has a 3/8-11 pin. Also, the listed weight of this cue on the website is 19 or 19.5 oz, but the cue (with shaft) weighs 20.5 oz minimum. Customer service emailed and called regarding these changes almost immediately after I submitted the order and checked with me that it was ok. Customer service is very responsive and friendly, but the website needs a little more detailed descriptions and more appropriate drop down menus for the specific cues. The product was well packaged and arrived after 7 d from shipment date to rural town across the country. There was a little delay between placing the order and shipment due to communicating the differences listed above and out of stock SMO shaft (all communicated by customer service).
Cue looks amazing – the two grips are perfectly placed adding a unique look to the butt of the cue and the inlays look amazing.
