Great review! I have the same JFlowers cue you used in this review. I purchased it for the exact reason of affordability for a better cue than the low budget cues I've always used. I too came to the conclusion that the Meucci medium tip was way too hard and have changed it to another brand in Soft and love this cue even more now. My recommendation to anyone buying this cue is to pick one of the other tips and pay the extra to have it installed before you even get it. It would be money well spent. Again this is the best quality cue that I have ever bought so I am in no way saying it is better than Cuetec or any other brand for that matter.

Great video as always!

Just like you I played with a morri tip for years, I agree a 100% with your opinion about the tip 👍

I owned that JFlowers cue as my first carbon fiber shaft cue. I was pleased with it for the cost. The one downside I had was that the joint felt like I constantly needed to check it for tightness. I’ve since purchase the new Truewood line from Cuetec with the Cynergy 15k. The joint feels as solid as a one piece cue and never feels like it needs tightening mid match. Having said all of that, the JFlowers cue was an excellent entry point to changing over to carbon fiber.

I bought the jf10-01f and you are correct about the tip. It doesn't play like a medium morri. It's very hard. Use it for a break cue until I change the tip. For the money it's not a bad playing cue, and good entry level carbon fiber cue.

I tried one of these out recently, my normal play cue is a Carmelli custom 3/8x10 cue with a Mezz / Exceed ExPro + Ignite shaft. The cue played quite well, especially considering it's a complete cue for around half the price of one of my shafts. That being said, it doesn't have nearly the same kind of touch and power that I'm accustomed to, but it's still easy to run racks with. I'd strongly recommend them to someone on a budget, a newer player wanting a cue they won't outgrow in a year, or someone who wants a cheaper cue to take out to poolhalls and bars and not have to worry as much compared to carrying one of their $5000 sticks.

Good video, accurate analysis. I have 2 jflowers cues. One I ordered with a tiger onyx tip (medium). The other cue I bought used, and it had a Jflowers branded tip on it (medium). The tiger tip is a wonderful tip. The Jflowers tip is very hard. The hit with it has an annoying “tink” sound when striking the cue ball. Both cues are a good value, however ordering an optional tip might be a good idea.

I did a video comparison between a J Flowers and my Huebler a few months ago. Just a little bit different from yours since I was comparing a standard shaft to a carbon fiber. That being said, I came to the same conclusion as you. For what you pay, a great cue. I swiftly followed up that video with another video on how the tip was garbage and how I needed to replace it. 😂😂 I'm glad I'm not the only one who came to that conclusion.

I have the Bf-801r jflowers cue and it is very good. The chalk sticks to the tip very nice and the tip feels like a normal medium tip. Maybe it is the price differences or the shipping but i am very pleased with the cue.

Bought this exact JF cue 18 months ago and I’m totally satisfied with it,had a predator with revo that cost me 1050$ and wish in hindsight that I had bought another JF.

Tolles Video, super Review zum perfekten Zeitpunkt. Ich habe mein Revo 12,9mm gegen ein neues J Flowers Carbon Oberteil getauscht weil ich ein Oberteil mit einer kleineren Pommeranze wollte. Aber mit der Tip kam ich gar nicht klar. Genau wie du es angesprochen hast. Lässt sich schlecht kreiden, fühlt sich viel zu hart an. Habe mir dann eine kamui black medium drauf gemacht und nun spielt es sich super. Bin absolut zufrieden kein Unterschied erkennbar zu einem Revo mMn ;)

I got the JF 20-21 about a month ago and love it, although I hated the tip. Like you mentioned, it felt almost like a break tip, just switched it to a kamui black soft tip.

Great review!! I’m a Cuetec guy as well!!

I hear you about the hardness of the tip. I saw a video saying the Moori quality nowadays is terrible hence him switching to Kamui clear Medium. Just couldn't find the vid for reference. Nevertheless great video!

Hi great review 👍 are you using the 12.5 mm or 11.8 for your Cuetec Cynergy shaft ? N which one do you prefer personally?

I'm a cutec and predator guy, but I'm not a fan of the Revo because I don't like the noise it makes. But, the Jay flowers cues are very impressive. Especially when you look at the cost. Ordering the cue online and replacing the tip with a good quality Kamui tip and it's still well below the cost its competition. I wouldn't mind having one as a backup, but as of now I'm saving up the buy the cutec

I actually have both cues used in this video. The cuetec is my favorite obviously and it’s my go to cue. But occasionally I’ll pick up the JF and it’s really pretty good. I replaced the tip on mine which I recommend for everyone. Overall the JF is solid for the price you can’t beat it.

I own several JFlowers cues and would say they are van tastic, and they played great. Change the tip right away, or order it with a different tip.

I already have a cuetec shaft. And i am going to get my jf 20-21 cue next week as my back up cue. The leather is larger to the back so you dont have problems that you mention on the video. But im still curious and what i just need to know. Does the cue play almost the same? Same low deflection or maybe something else?

DeLuna plays with an Exceed Mezz Cue. A beautiful cue!

I'm still a cuetec boy, using my R360 shafts, WCT breck and a bullet. Sinse I started playing 👍

Hey. Thanks for the comparison. Around the 5:55 min mark, you said you had to adapt quite significantly from one cue to another. How so (imo this is the most important detail for a transparent comparison...)? Thanks.

It hit likes a hard tip but I like it. I have the same cue. I'm a fan of big pin joints and sometimes it will loosen up but no big deal

What is the best tip in JFlowers? Because moori medium tip was pre installed when i buy it

Couple other things to note about the company as I own two of their more expensive options. One of my shafts had a moori medium tip that was hard as rock and second the second cue I bought from them with a radial joint, the shaft would not even screw down all the way. I contacted the company and they sent me another shaft no charge because they have had several customers complain of them. Third a few others have commented and one youtube video even shows how replacing the tip on the white ferrule cues can be troublesome to do since the plastic they use doesn't act as a good adhesive to the tip.

Thanks

I also have a JFlowers with the original tip and it hits a little softer than my McDermott with a Kamui medium tip. I think there may have been a quality issue with that particular tip or perhaps the leather material got compromised in shipping or something.

Played a ton with the Svb cuetec, the all famous blue black. Recently switched to JFS. Better in every aspect. Balance, shaft, everything. JFS over cuetec any day.

Hallo, I just started watching your videos and I really like your way of reviewing. I’am looking for a new cue. I’am really liking the Avid line from Cuetec…very reasonable priced. Do you experienced the Avid shaft? It would give you the nearest experience to a Carbonfiber shaft from a wooden shaft. Or spend a little extra and get the Cynergy shaft? Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

Why does the JFlowers not have a metal screw in for the shaft but a carbon fiber screw in?

which is better peri cue or jflower cue?

"Detail oriented" "orientated" is not a word. Just a little detail with which to orient yourself in the future. :-)

Hi! the jflowers cues have removable rubber bottom where you can remove/add weight bolts to change the weight of the butt which solves one of your problems with the cue. Just in case you didn’t know, loved the video and getting my jflowers cue here in a few hours.

Back in the day Cuetec was a low budget brand on par with Valhalla and Lucky cues, it's hilarious to see that they now charge premium dollar for their cues, yet the quality is still entry level. I have lost count how many Cynergy ferrules I have changed or threads in shafts fixed as the junk plastic is not anywhere near strong enough for their silly bastard 3/8-14 pin. Don't get me started on the Jflowers stuff, so many problems.. I love how testing is some random shots on a pool table only looking at deflection, as that has anything with the quality of a cue.

Great review.. for cosmetics.. that cue compared to SVB cues may not have been a good review cue.. can you do a review on low budget CUETEC cues? I myself love CUETEC..

Knowing that the company makes 'budget' cues, it would not surprise me if they installed whatever tip they had in stock. Many budget brands (any product) are frequently subject to the ol' "specifications are subject to change without notice," because they are building them down to a price. There is another Chinese brand called Moyerely that sells these carbon cues even cheaper; I'm pretty certain they use the same shaft.

Jflowers are very good for their budget price and I'm actually surprised there's a good carbon cue out there that isn't 1000 dollars and over

I play with a j flowers Jf 20-20, and yes you are right about the Tipp, its not that good. Super Video like always, greetings from Swiss

Wo bistn du her?

The true test is rolling the cues on the table to see if there is wobble or warp! That's the only way to see if the cue is straight!

Hi, is the shaft of Jfowers can be fitted to the butt of the cuetec?

Sorry, what's up with that table? Looks nice.

These guys, might be a great value. I don't know. But on their website they try to make it look like players like Earl Strickland are sponsored by them or use their cue. They don't. They even have a video where Efren was asked to try one out and they videoed it, and they try to make it seem like Efren is sponsored by them. That is dirty righ tthere.

Painted inlays and a fake moori tip, that’s what you’ll get with 300 bucks. Maybe a nice cue for a beginner player

So not bad for 300

That's funny Karl boyes said this jflowers tip was too soft... definitely personal preference...take these reviews with a grain of salt. .including the entire cue

You say "you get what you pay for". That is not true read my honest story and experience with this company, so people also hear an other opinion: Jflowers says It say's the default weight is 19 Pounce and they say you can remove (or add) weights to change the weight. That is not true I ordered a 19 ounce but got a heavier one. And it was NOT possible to remove weight bolts because they all where already out. When I complained, because the cue was to heavy for me and totally out of balance, they put an extreme light shaft on it of just 3,6 ounce (usually shafts are around 4 ounce) and the butt was way to heavy in relation to the shaft. When accelerating through the cue ball it felt like a sledge hammer instead of a precision instrument. Jflowers first told me to remove weight bolts or send the cue back so they would remove them to solve the issue. They first would not understand that the butt did not contain removable weights. So I had to send it back. After they inspected the butt they came to the conclusion there are no weights to remove. They refused to send me a lighter butt and told me that the heavier then 19 ounce butt was the lightest they got so they would not replace it. I already owned an other Jflowers classic shaft which has a normal weight of 3,9 ounce combined with the faulty butt the cue would weight 19,5 ounce. That is half an ounce more than the 19,0 ounce that was expected after ordering and no possibility to remove weight bolts. Jflowers support simply did deny the issue did not send a lighter butt. Because they said the deviation was within to be expected margin for cues in their price range. And I was told the do not want to do any more business with me. Because they lost already money because of the shipping costs. Well my thought is If a company says this, there must be lots of unsatisfied customers. If it would only be one with one time extra shipping costs then I cannot imagine that would be an issue. So lessons learned is, if you want a cue and risk it be unbalanced or to heavy you can buy. If you already own a shaft and order a 19 ounce cue, hoping you can take out weight bolts if to heavy you should not buy. Jflowers is not capable of guarantying to send an exact 19 ounce and balanced cue, it is depending on luck, that has weight bolts in it to remove. I also played a Cuetec. And no the Jflowers can not at all compete with a Cuetec. Cuetec offers far better quality and adjustability. Even their cheaper AVID range cues are much better then the Jflowers.

"get to the choppa!"

Do the New J Flowers SMO

*WISH YOU TOLD US DIFFERENCES IN BUTT DIAMETERS. DIFFERENCE IN WEIGHT -IS ONE FORWARD WEIGHTED CUE OR REAR WEIGHTED CUE.*

*WISH YOU TOLD US "REAL" DIFFERENCES. NOT COSMETIC COLORS. PLEASE TELL US BALANCE TYPE/POINT. IS ONE CUE, REAR WEIGHTED DESIGN OR A FORWARD BALANCED CUE. IS ONE BUTT DIAMETER LARGER THAN THE OTHER. DOOES THE 'WRAP' TAPER MORE? SHAFT TAPER DIFFERENCE, PRO/CONICAL/LENGHT? IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CHALKING THE TIP. AND WHAT TYPE JOINT SCREW ON CUETEC?, ETC...*

Are you sponsored by CueTec?

Why did he have to ask CUETEC ???

It's the same .just different taper

*THE CHALK, YOU ARE USING IS THE PROBLEM, IF TAOM, CHALK DOESNT STICK TO ALL TIPS. USE STANDARD MASTERS AND USE THE FLOWERS CUE*

Pls send me a cue

"ORIENTED"... There's no such word as ORIENTATED! Just saying: FYI... it's "anyway" not ANYWAYS.

I think this shows the JFlowers cue hangs with the bigboys at 1/2 the price. The true Cuetec comparison would be this JFlowers vs the Cuetec Avid. A Cuetec Cynergy shaft alone costs more than this JFlowers cue. Best comparison is 🍎 to 🍎, in that case I am sure despite your brand loyalty--which I fully respect, you would choose the Jflowers easily. The Cuetec company has a history of making fantastic products and the Cynergy shaft is one of them. The glass composite-bonded hard maple shaft that comes with the Avid series cue probably falls short of a carbon shaft. Now an Avid butt paired with their Cynergy shaft would be a great comparison to this JFlowers model, but again it would be twice the price. Thanks for the review, I enjoy your channel and honesty. Also, the JFlowers JF20-20 and JF20-21 models have a leather wrap that goes right down to the buttcap if that is what a player is looking for. Check out Jflowerscues.com

I wish i have money to buy this kind of cue 😢😅

The jf was more responsive to any english you applied. The stock tip on cuetec is garbage and I'm far from alone on that opinion. Really wish they would have put a how tip S on the svb series even though he plays their med. Would have been a great touch instead of throwing stock tigers on them. I have 4 cuetecs all acquired in the last 2 years so I like the brand. Having some issues with one of them and dealer was no help. Depending on how cuetec themselves handle it will determine how I go forward with them in the future. Not easy to get ahold of anyone and email takes weeks sometimes to hear back.
