Jflowers Dante Cue Review, the new SMO shaft and more...

[@HereAfterBilliards]

Great video Andrew. Lots of great info here. I'm curious how that adjustment feature on the SMO shaft works. Like to get my hands on one to see. 🤔 It looks like JFlowers is really taking off and I'm really happy that it is. My Dante 2 has been treating me well. Oh yeah and I loved seeing that hook shot you executed. Love that shot. I've missed your videos.

Thx amigo !

[@aliawan5490]

Anyone thinking about buying jflowers believe me its crazy how good they are for the price. Ive used revo shafts and currently play with jflowers 20-20 with the CROWN shaft and Kamui black clear soft tip and it feels the same as revo if not better.

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

Great to hear ! I have not tried the Crown Shaft yet. I would like to try the 12.9mm which one did you go with ?

[@aliawan5490]

You should make a video on that shaft no one has yet made one. I went with the 12.5mm cause I been playing for a while now so 12.5 just feels very accurate. If they had smaller i'd go for that cause for a while i use to use a snooker cue for pool for shots exactly where i want to hit lol@@YaworskiPoolPractice

[@miloss.]

Sir, you are the first person I've seen playing with the Crown shaft. I'm thinking of ordering one, but I don't want to lose on that great sound/feel of the Classic shaft. Could you share your impressions in more detail please? Thanks.

[@aliawan5490]

sounds pretty amazing everyone that have used it loved it. The same time i got mine my boy bought p3 revo and after using mine he was like "man i see no difference spend too much for no reason" CROWN is beautiful shaft one guy even told me after using it that its like aimbot lol. but remember its never the cue its always the player. Now ill believe that SMO will be better then crown cause thats what they advertise and strickland uses it too but for the money CROWN is just like Revo and ppl consider Revo to be the best in the market. If youre gonna get it id say just pay lil extra and get it with a different tip. I got mine with kamui black clear soft @@miloss.

[@miloss.]

@@aliawan5490 Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I don't think I'll be going for the SMO, but the Crown is very much in play. Cheers

[@kenbarr4386]

Between the 3 carbon fiber shafts is deflection the only difference? How do they compare for feel, smoothness on bridge hand, sound, and vibration?

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

I haven't had a chance to do a side by side comparison. The aero grade carbon fiber quality goes from A to AAA. The classic shaft is already really smooth and sounds nice. The standard tip is different on each one aswell as the sight plate. Honestly, I can't imagine smoothness, sound or vibration being worse as the quality goes up. Deflection is the biggest thing for a lot of players. Thanks for the great question ! Check out the shafts here: jflowerscues.com/product-category/jflowers-cues/shafts/

[@mattevans1643]

The classic is just a run of the mill carbon fiber shaft. It's sole purpose was to put J-Flowers on the map which it did for it's affordability. But there's nothing special about it, it's just a carbon fiber shaft. The SMO is their attempt at making a high level performance shaft, hence the pricing being the same as the Cuetec Cynergy. I don't know much about them, but i would assume they spent alot more time and money into developing the SMO, since they now sponsor actual pool players. They also have Jayson Shaw now, and with him you know they are going to do something special.

I missed the Jflowers Cyber Monday sale. Anyone know how much the discount was on the breakers?

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

There was a 20% off Good Friday sale followed by a 10% off Cyber Monday sale. But stay tuned...

[@amisingh49]

@@YaworskiPoolPractice If you have any more promo codes please let me know. 20% would be great!

[@mirandab4213]

Awesome!

[@ProfessorXac]

I'm surprised you haven't heard of Mezz Cues with the SWS (Shaft Weight System). They've been around for years. There are others as well, but they are more gimmicky and by mostly unknown builders.

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

Yeah, I was surprised too ! Especially as such a pool junkie. I heard about this after I made this video from a few players. Thanks for tuning in and commenting! What do you think of the new SMO shaft ? What have you heard ?

[@Echoesoflostlibraries]

Appreciate the video a lot! One question tho, you never mention which shaft you're testing with, which one is it? :)

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

Oh, you're right ! I got my Dante before the new shaft options were available. In the video, I am using the classic shaft as it comes. Black sight plate, moori medium tip.

[@Echoesoflostlibraries]

@@YaworskiPoolPractice Ahh, great thanks for the clarification :) I hear some people not loving the mori medium tip that comes with jflowers cues but you seem to get plenty of action with it :) at any rate, keep up the good work!

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

@Echoesoflostlibraries I also find the stock Moori a bit hard. Cue tips are a personal choice. I did swap mine out since when I tried the TAOM fusion tip. Then I switched to the TAOM Pro medium.

[@MahirSodal]

It's really incredible with that money, i can't buy now for some reasons, is Dante edition limited time? I would like to buy one in the near future. Andrew thanks for the awesome content.

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

Thanks ! They are available @ Jflowerscues.com We have some sales every now and then, stay tuned to the site, maybe check this wknd. 🙂

I’m looking for a high end cue that’s affordable I been researching a lot about Jflowers cause they are in my alley for what I really want

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

Cool 😎 feel free to pm me on fb if you have any questions 👍🏽 facebook.com/yaworskipoolpractice?mibextid=2JQ9oc

@@YaworskiPoolPracticethe aspirant jf10-11 with the black wrap I’m really digging cause a predator McDermott and meucci are in my category too for looks and low deflection

[@JohnBowl14690]

Agree. The Predatator is too expensive.

[@MikeDauber-h8m]

You didn't say what shaft you were playing with.

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

Oh whoops, nice catch ! I am playing with the Classic shaft in this video. Thanks for watching.

[@chezeface1142]

The SMO shaft is not 400$ its $440 because they rip you off on shipping for 40 bucks.

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

International shipping is a thing, yes. You have your total, including shipping at check-out. Don't be a hater. All kinds of things have shipping costs. Have you not purchased anything from Amazon before ? Seriously lol 😆

[@chezeface1142]

@YaworskiPoolPractice it's not international shipping from Florida to North Carolina lol don't be a hater for facts lol get a life and get your facts together or go cry

[@losoj30]

They really are taking advantage of all the publicity asking 3 grand for their Chinese made factory crap.

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

The Dante series cues are a cored solid construction. They hit fantastic and the price is only $399usd and come standard with an aerospace grade carbon fiber shaft. Amazing deal.

[@patsdude54]

You clearly have no idea what your talking about.

[@jmos96]

Obviously, you’re delusional. It’s by far the highest standard for cue manufacturing…period.
