DISCLAIMER:
Jacoby sent me this demo shaft to test for everyone. This video is not sponsored. Everything in this video is purely my opinion and personal feelings about the Jacoby Black Shaft.
Deflection tests performed in this video was not scientific. Deflection can vary depending on table/equipment conditions, speed/power when striking the cue ball, where you strike the cue ball and more. Table conditions, humidity, balls, different cue tips, chalk (etc.) all play a role in affecting the results of the test. Test was performed on a 7ft Diamond table to the best of my ability at the time.

This is a good review been holding off on the buy cause the cuetec looked better to me but based on this review I'll get the Jacoby thanks man
Ordered the 12.3mm version of this and received it yesterday. Took it with me to a local pool tournament last night and won. After playing with it some, I definitely understand the hype behind it.
I really enjoy your Reviews. Keep it up. One of your reviews helped me settle on a Mezz Ignite.
Thanks for the kind words Chris!
I purchased the Jacoby shaft for all my playing cues. The taper is perfect for me and I've adjusted to the 12.3 mm tip with ease. Excellent quality, craftsmanship.
I have the same 👍👍
love mine
wooooow I can hear the difference between this and a Predator Revo. and I'm placing my custom order tomorrow... so glad I'm doing it.
I love my Black shaft.. Best one I have ever used.. I tried several before buying it and man did I make the right call..
Great shaft :)
That force follow shot was sick
As always great video. Very simple clear and precise information 👌 👏
Glad you liked it!
Tha is for the review was looking for a longer pro taper. Also like the 1,2,3,5,4,6 9 sequence. Keep the videos coming.
I put one on my reeves custom cue, I've been using the predator z2 for years, the transition wasn't bad and I'm really liking it.
Had my shafts and tips cut down to dime size and I love it!
Nice, I'm a nickel man myself.
my buddy thats a jacoby dealer from wisconsin switched from a jacoby black carbon shaft to a Jacoby KW Kielwood Shaft....he said its the best,he also said the Jacoby KW Kielwood Shaft is so popular cant keep them in stock,my buddy was quite the awesome pool player,he played against tyler styer few times
How about a link to the reverse tapper break/jump cue maker?
I'm thinking about replacing my all original #125 Xbreaker that even has the Xbreaker bumper.
Nice review! The hit sound is a bit more pronounced than some of the other shafts though. I tried a Jabocy Black a while back and I believe it was a prototype and it was Okay. I hear they have made some improvements since then so I might have to give one a try again sometime. I am looking forward to your next video!
I just discovered, and very much like your shaft tests. I'm curious about something. In this test you used two tips of English, but in the Revo test you used one tip. Each test resulted in about 1 inch of deflection (squirt). Is that correct?
Another great review. Thanks.
I'm super jazzed about the Jacoby. I actually own two of them.? Both have kamui tips. 1 shaft has medium. The other has the super soft.. going down to a 12.3 tip? I was super super nervous. But it's all worked out well. Great review. Very informative. Thanks. Very much sir
How does it pair with the kamui medium?
Hey boss, looks great, can we play snooker with this ? Or what is the best snooker cue in your opinion please? Thanks for advice.
Can you do a review on the jacoby jcbcf2 black shaft? It's an 11.8 because they don't have an 11.75 just yet
Great review--i am in the market and I enjoyed!!
Do you have a review on cuetec?
hi man i really like your demonstration nice feed back
Hey, thanks!
So with all these cues your testing what your 1 st and 2nd Choice.
can you make a video about Konllen Carbon fiber shaft.....
You’re a beast man you can really move the cue ball around nicely.
Thanks Jeremy!
I LIKE TO MakE THE BALL MOVE TO. HAVE BK CUE
nice review, kinda liked the shaft, i'm a tall guy and on long table the long shaft may could help me sometimes. Anyway just saw you channel and love your analysis videos very much, keep on going with the good job.
Thanks for the support Roberto!
@@TheBilliardCorner would be nice to see a series of pros breaking patterns and game strategies, I didn't saw anything like it on other channels and it's quite interesting! Also they're very well explained
@@Zowkander Sounds like a great idea! I'll see what I can come up with. Thank you for your input Roberto!
Whenever you get around to it it would be great if you could do a review of the TIGER Products Fortis carbon fiber shaft. Its comes in 12mm and 12.5mm but I prefer the 12mm. The people need to hear its feedback sound. It’s unlike any other carbon fiber shaft out there in terms of response and playability.
Love your videos man, keep it up.
You work for Tiger buddy? Tiger has never produced any shaft worth enough remembering.. so this marketing ad ur putting on us needs MUCH convincing.. why don't you review the shaft and show us how great it is???
@@jimmyjones6086 lol
Have you tried the Viking Siege carbon fiber shaft yet?
I just got the 11.8 shaft Jacoby 30 in I love it the taper is so much slimmer then the cuetec 11.8
Yup, glad you enjoy the shaft!
i like jacoby products....although,this shaft, had a hallow sound to the lite hits,on this video,. is that true...i dont want to buy a hallowed out shaft....what do you think,Rich?
When can you do a viking siege shaft
I follow your videos, very good, a question, I just got a jacoby black, do you recommend I keep the kamui soft that comes from the factory or do you recommend another? I wait for your answers, thank you
Just depends on what you prefer. You can try a different tip and see if you like it. Thanks for watching.
I’ve had that shaft I loved it one of my favorite carbon shafts now I’m using the cyengry 11.8 and I love it so far glad they finally came with smaller shaft and rumor is Jacoby is coming with a 11.75 in October
I don't know about October but I know there is a 12.75 coming out very soon. The prototypes are floating around already
This is true rich hit me up if you are intrested
I went to Jacoby's website and it sounds like they stack veneers together to make cues.
So, in cross section, the shaft's length results from stacked veneers. Sounds crazy in terms of the amount of work that process would entail.
Did I read it correctly?
Thanks for your help!
Yes, veneers are often stacked. Very labor intensive and is true functional art.
Nice shaft but deflects more than a 12.9 revo. If u dont care bout deflection and are all about feel than its excellent choice. I think the longer pro tapers r very unforgiving and not powerful enough but I know many people love them. Great option for carbon fans tho
How do you find this compared to the ignite and cynergy?
More power on Ignite, more feel on Cynergy. All my personal opinion.
Question whats the top two best carbon fiber shaft that you've played with?
Ignite and Cuetec
I have a request if you could please. I got lied to when I went to go get a carbon shaft the guy at a well know Billiards store said it was a jacoby carbon I played with it and really liked it. But after doing more research it’s a Dave Pearson carbon shaft I was hoping to see if you could review it and see how it stacks up against others bc I do like it and can’t return it.
Hello sorry for the late reply. I get some many comments I get lost. Don't think I will have the funds to buy a Dave Pearson to test for you. My channel is too small for that at this time. If you enjoy the shaft, keep and and enjoy it my friend. Best Wishes.
Good video however I personally believe that Revo is the best CF shaft in the market, if you decide to go to a carbon fiber shaft, revo is your best choice overall.
Just got a revo and it’s amazing but I haven’t tried any other cf shafts
Why does it have that ting sound when you shoot? Is there any carbon fibers that don't have that noise?
Jacoby black is the best sounding carbon fiber shaft on the market...the predator revo is the worst...revo has a really really bad tinky sound.
Have you ever tried the Meucci carbon fiber would love to hear feed back on it thanks in advance
Not yet, tried contacting Meucci but no reply...
Are there imitation jacobys out there for less? And does the tip change how cue reacts?
I would recommend against buying imitation cues. Changing the tip can change how to cue hits.
Please review McDermott Defy Shaft.
Can you please do a review on the meucci carbon shaft.
I sent Meucci a message but no response yet unfortunately.
Cuetec eliminator is amazing
The V4 is even better now !
I need to try it
Jacoby & cuetec15k ?
Hello! Is Jacoby shaft more flexible than Revo? Thank you!
About the same
Could you do a comparison between the Ignite 12.2 and this Jacoby Black 12.3? Thanks
Watch both of the videos for a comparison. Each shaft has its own unique characteristics that I explain in the videos.
Awesome video! Thanks, Im going to be getting a Jacoby shaft and your video just confirmed that I was making the right choice. Btw, you seem to have a really nice stroke,if you don't mind sharing I believe you should make a video of how you got that stroke. I like how you stay down on the shot making the shot look pretty, lol. Thanks.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy the Jacoby Black shaft. That's a great video idea! I'll try to do a video like that in the future.
If I didn't stay down, I would get flamed in the comments haha.
Thanks for watching,
The Billiard Corner
i own a jacoby kielwood shaft, nice solid hits,i havent changed the tip,the tiger everest come standard,i might go to a kamui tip..what kamui tip should i buy? i have kamui SS on my jacoby pro ultra shsft 11.75, i get good english with it
Kamui black soft is my go to
How is the deflection compared to ignite and revo?
Watch my videos on the Ignite
which carbon fiber shaft do you enjoy the most?
I am wondering the same thing
I have a Jacoby custom built cue made with a 314 original. I just bought a Jacoby Black and hit 10 or so shots. The JB deflects about the same as a regular shaft and not even close to low deflection like my 314. A shame I dropped over $500 on it. Zero chance I will attempt replacing my 314 with JB.
@@Larryrandom2549 My guess is, his did have deflection and a lot of it. I spoke with Brandon Jacoby at a trade show and tried their newest CF soon to be released. Night and day difference. I'm waiting delivery once everything is finalized.
@@Larryrandom2549 He must have adjusted without realizing or compared it to regular wood shaft. They are not LD though. Jacoby created newer version of the JB releasing soon that shoots extremely straight/LD. Compared to my 314, its as good or better ** I only hit 10 or 15 shots, so first impressions.
Could you do a review of the defy shaft 12.5?
No point. It’s a notoriously crap shaft.
Hi. Any chance you could play a quick rack of all the black balls please. I'm in two minds whether to pick up the black or tournament pro set, and haven't seen any videos with good quality showing off the black set
kashifg I have a video on my channel showing each individual ball on the black set. Check it out.
czcams.com/video/dx431C9LC6E/video.html
@@TheBilliardCorner thanks, I've watched this. Was looking for some play on the table if possible. Picking up my first table, and haven't made my mind up whether the black set would be best- not sure on the black stripes. The TV Pro set and conventional white stripes seem the safer choice?
@@kashifgification The odd thing about the black set is that the purple is the 5 and pink is the 4. When I first stated playing with the black edition balls I would hit the wrong ball on accident out of habit. The safer choice would be the TV pro set. However, I just love the black stripes.
@@TheBilliardCorner thanks, appreciate your input
@@kashifgification No problem!
im about ready to step up to a carbon fiber shaft,i have a buddy thats a jacoby dealer from my area in sw wisconsin..kim bussan
The sound of that Jacoby sounds a lot like my predator vantage shaft which feels like a broomstick compared to my new shaft which is the TIGER Products Fortis 12mm. The feedback response and sound of the Tiger Fortis is better than any carbon fiber shaft I’ve played with and I’ve tested out numerous carbon fiber shafts. It also has the lowest deflection of any of the carbon fiber shops I’ve used before. It came stock with a Tiger “Onyx” tip and is by far the best tip I’ve ever played with. The Tiger Fortis carbon fiber shaft also has the closet feel to Wood than any other carbon fiber shaft ive ever used. Next time anyone’s in Burbank California go to TIGER Products and you can test it out yourself. Let me know what you think. Be well everyone.
Are you a Tiger employee? Jeez... you post this crap on every carbon fiber shaft review video...
@@jimmyjones6086 lol right
Have you reviewed the cuetec Cynergy shaft or ever plan to?
The Black shaft is way better than the Cuetec.. I've tried both and the feels is just miles above the Cuetec.. Less deflection and a more solid hit as well..
I've contacted Cuetec a few times but no reply...If I can get my hands on one I will review it for everyone.
How will you know if the shaft is compatible with your butt screw.?
You have to know the pin on your butt.
Does anyone have issues with it not fitting their cue butt flush? Looking to get this in Uniloc for my predator.
Mine fit pretty close to flush on my Predator Ikon. I think Jacoby might have different joint diameter options to fit your cue better.
I bought this with Uniloc for my Lucasi and it fits perfectly
Any significant cons with this shaft?
Carbon fiber inherently has positives and negatives. Watch my Kielwood shaft video for more info.
Have you reviewed the Spartan Victory carbon fiber shafts?
No
@@TheBilliardCorner ok if you do I look forward to seeing it and hearing your review
have you ever compared between ignite 12.2 and jacoby 12.3. need advice ❤
I've reviewed both shafts on my channel for you to view. What other questions do you have? Maybe I can help further.
I have the mezz ignite and my buddy has a jacoby 12.3 In my opinion I think the mezz outplays the Jacoby but you need to go to a dealer so you can play with both to pick which one suits you I went to a dealer an played with every carbon shaft out there an I went with mezz
Hi what is the cue weight?
I appreciate it
Question. I play in bars some. Would you break with it? Thanks
I personally prefer to break with a break cue or house cue. These shafts generate a lot of spin which I don’t exactly want when breaking.
@@TheBilliardCorner I have a break cue but sometimes still break with my playing stick. A Scruggs with a edge hybrid. I have used the edge for years and I might have worn it out. Should I be concerned about using a carbon fiber player to break. Concerned about breaking it. Thanks. Your helping me make a decision. 🙏
@@philcummins7785 I wouldn’t recommend using a carbon fiber playing shaft to break. The ferrules on them are pretty thin and can crack. I recommend you use a separate break cue. They also make carbon fiber break cues and shafts that have reinforced front ends.
can you review the jflower carbon pls?
If I get a chance I'll review it
Pls review the McDermott defy! There’s no vids on it
No response from Mcdermott on sending out a demo sadly.
@@TheBilliardCorner Buy one... and sell it after the video is done. It will be gone in a day.
@@jimmyjones6086 Not a bad idea
which one you recomend, becue , jacoby or SMO?
Depends what youre looking for in a shaft
so far i think the best shaft u reviewed is the mezz hybrid pro2 shaft.
I've only reviewed the Mezz Ignite.
@@TheBilliardCorner sorry its the mike lambros shaft i should say. i think the shaft performed very well on you.
Have you tried the meucci or viking carbon
Not yet
I have the meucci carbon fiber...meh
Pechauer Rogue or/vs. Jacoby Black?
Jacoby hands down
I preferred the Jacoby a bit more
Do Mcdermott Defy shaft. Really no info on the defy shaft.
I have Jacoby and my dad has Defy. DEFY has a coating that isn't smooth like natural CF on Revo or Jacoby. Feels different as well but not in a good way. My dad wants to sell the Defy and get a Jacoby Black
@@Lefishn yea i ordered a defy and it has a flex to it like wood , kinda weird to me
@@chasedavis7231 I have had the defy for 4 days now and you are correct on the coating,I shot tremendous with it actually loved it, but the one I got came with a blemish,like a 1" ripple.I am sending it back under the return policy. I shot a Jacoby last night and ordered the black , it's very smooth and precise. It did way more than the defy.
NEW SUB. WHATS YOUR FAVORITE CARBON FIBER SHAFT THAT YOU TESTED? BTW YOU MAKE SOME AWESOME VIDEOS.
Thank you for the compliments. My favorite has been the Becue Prime M and Mezz Ignite.
Looking forward to watch the video! 🎱
you dont even say how the deflection is with the jacoby, I mean I can see it but not clearly, normally with other shafts you put the numbers on screen, so I guess maybe jacoby higher deflection than the others like revo/rogue/prime etc?
Nope, just easier to edit this way. All my newer shaft videos I do that same. The deflection can clearly be seen on camera.
Do rhino and raven carbon shafts!
Jacoby or ignite better?
Depends on preference
@@TheBilliardCorner but if you could only play with one... Which would it be?
This shaft comes in 11.8 also I have one
bro teach me how to do the 5:14 shot how tf u stop the ball
top spin. the ball continues spinning in that direction after it rebounds off the rail
@@duggyfresh44 with full power? or half? i've tried but always fail 😿
You have to hit the object ball pretty full and max top spin, medium power. Too much power doesnt give it enough time to spin.
Where can i buy the shaft bro ?
Link in the description :)
@@TheBilliardCorner Something is wrong with their website. You can only look at the price and the info, but you can't purchase it from the website. I have been trying to order online but I can't. They are losing money for not fixing their site.
@@MrElPoderozo1 Thanks for the heads up. Seyberts has them for sale: www.seyberts.com/jacoby-black-carbon-fiber-cue-shaft
Hey boss , what's going to happen if you play snooker with it?
Im curious about the fury carbon fiber shaft...
same...
I have one , 12.5 , it’s my main playing cue and I’m quite happy with it, although I do think it deflects a little more than most carbon fiber shafts it’s still a very good shaft and you can just get used to the deflection.
Theauthenticgeek how is the hit feel and sound?
The Billiard Corner please do a review about it😭
Rifat Sauqy it feels great and it cost me 500 dollars so It was pretty much the same price as the revo and cynergy shafts . The revo is a way better shaft but I’m not sure about the cynergy
I just ordered a custom carbon fiber shaft, just form a small town cue maker and was $275 got exactly what I wanted. I play with a revo, hoping what I bought i shoot better with and can turn my revo into a break stick lol. Plus less than $300 for a carbon fiber shaft is worth it just to try it lol
Who's the maker? $275 is a great price!
The Billiard Corner dfebilliards.com. That’s the website I’m not to sure if you can see that. If you can’t try PM and I can send you the info. But that’s his website. He matches ring work as well for a price depending on how complex it is.
The Billiard Corner so, did you plan on doing a review on it?
@@XexNobody Not as this moment. I have a couple shaft reviews backlogged that I need to finish.
@@XexNobody It was an XLR8 from cue maker Matthew Bargerstock? Are you tested that shaft earlier or someone recommended it to you?
Good stuff. I think you should play me a game or two.....
You'll win :)
Lol
I suspect the hollow sound of the shaft. The way the sound vibrates is similar to cheapest products.
Do a reviw of a cuetec cynergy 11.8
No reply from Cuetec yet...
The Billiard Corner Find Kyle at Cuetec. He will definitely help you.

How so? lol
@@TheBilliardCorner it was a joke. THE shot was super neat that it's illegal
@@ramziel-jabali9083 Lmao got me good XD
Yea surprised me with that one😏💪🏼
Review Becue shafts!
All these carbon Fiber shafts are over priced, I mean come on man 500.00 for a shaft? Get real.
It’s easy to save your money when you’re not spending your cash on useless crap and bad habits. Don’t be mad.
Then go play for money and earn your way to a carbon fibre shaft, ya cheap skate.
A high-performance wood shaft is still gonna cost you almost 300$ so why not spend 150 to 200 more
Wobble wobble.
Fyi the 4ball comes before 5ball in the run out video. Lol
Aramith Black edition set has the 4 ball as pink and 5 ball as purple. I hit them in the correct order. If you looked closely, you can see the numbers. lol
Those are those new arimath balls the four is pink and the five is purple idk why they changed it but yeah
Covid has people making a fool of themselves. 🤣🤣🤣
Jacoby, but rattles so much... It rattles like an empty bucket...)))
Jacoby feels great to me :)
Well looks like everyone has copied Predator...still the best cues around.
no, predator company didnt even exist when there was first composite cues.... They just made huge marketing campaing with the release of revo, however there was shafts that had carbon fiber cores at the time. no one copied predator. the tech has been out there for many decades.
The "Black Shaft".
The hit of the shaft sounds horrible. I do not like the sound, so I can't imagine I would like the feel of the hit.
The shaft doesn’t sound anything like that in person. I have one and a good friend of mine does too and they sound almost like a wood shaft. A lot quieter than a revo.
@@zachmccraw8381 I think it sounds great. It's rather difficult to get accurate sound even with a decent mic. Has a crisp tonky hit in person. The hit and sound will also vary depending on the butt of the cue.
@@zachmccraw8381 I actually can't imagine that Jacoby would make any shaft that does not hit really nice. I always really liked the hit of their cues.
@@justinbryson5392 They make great cues
If you are concerned about the noise of a cue, you got bigger problems that doesn't involve billiards.
your videos are so quiet.
I'll bring up the sound next time, thanks for the input.
Carbonfiber is a fad if you miss balls you'll miss even more with carbonfiber
at my pool hall I play at, I have tried out maybe 4 different CF shafts from different players....they ALL feel the same to me, and other than feeling really smooth, i can tell no difference. Seems I read, all CF shafts are made in China anyway and only assembled over here in the States.
Well the top players in the world use Carbon Fiber...so not sure what you're talking about. Secondly, if you can play, you can play with any cue. Pros can use anything the sponsor gives them.
@@breakingballswithtony6897 Efren Reyes used a $10 wooden cue stick in the old days to beat all the pros. Best value for money.
@@psijicassassin7166because of practice and knowing his cue deflection. Any top player with practice can take basic cues and shafts to beat anyone. It's what your knowledge is and practice. But the huge advantage of CF is it doesn't warp and temp doesn't effect it. Plus super smooth so don't need to use hand chalk when you sweat or get nervous. Old timers are use to high deflection over millions of balls being hit so of course they are good with Maple
Says the 2 in APA
Sounds horrible
You think this sounds horrible...don't try any of the other carbon fiber shafts... because this one sounds the best by a lot!!!! Specially the predator revo..sounds like garbage....I would stick with wood.
It sounds bad on video but I have one and in person sometimes it sounds like that but most of the time it doesn’t
I have the Jacoby Black and think it's the best sounding out there. All the other in league sound like crap
Why do these CZcams guys always wave their hands around all the time? Do young people really do that when they talk?
Mike J. The other choice is to stand there like a robot and not move at all 😂
The Billiard Corner ok thanks for the review.
@@mikethebeginner No problem Mike
