Listen to this description :
"Like its sister cue (Dante I), this Pale Horse offers no purgatory. The JFS: Dante II is a heart-stopping wraith. Its stark white design with subtle crimson and jet-black weaponry accents frame a “white lizard” leather wrap. This is your opponent’s Armageddon."
How can you not buy it with a write up like that!
Here is my new pool cue. I've finally found a cue that looks like what I want. I talk about a few things in this video and I hope you find it helpful.

Just got mine in. Ordered Wednesday and got it on Tuesday. Backup to my jf20-21. Price point was perfect for my budget. Colors are very nice. Even better in person. Enjoy your videos. Have a great day.

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

Thank you very much for that. For sure one of the best bang for your buck deals out there

@TheGunDude 2 месяца назад

I have the aspirant series and it’s surprisingly good for the price. I also have a cuetec cynergy carbon cue as well and the cuetec is definitely nicer in my opinion but maybe not double the price worth. I think anyone wanting to start with carbon cue jflowers is definitely the right one.

@HereAfterBilliards 2 месяца назад

Yeah I agree. I say it a lot in my videos... If you're not sure if low deflection carbon fiber is for you...JFlowers is a nice option to have if price is making you gun shy. 👍

@tgd345 6 месяцев назад

Got my dante 2 in december, while its been hard adjusting from snooker cues ive been playing with for the last decade. Im so happy with my dante an slowly getting more and more used to it. Saying that tho i was alittle disappointed there were no weight bolts in the butt so being stuck with a 19oz cue is a big adjustment. The entry level price was fantastic

@HereAfterBilliards 6 месяцев назад

There absolutely is a weight bolt in the butt. Simply unscrew the threaded bumper and grab the right allen key to unscrew the weight bolt 👍

@tgd345 6 месяцев назад

@@HereAfterBilliards thanks for replying but comparing with my viking butt i take the rubber bumper off and i can see the bolts down a couple of inches where as in my dante butt I take off the bumper an theres just an empty void that goes down roughly 4 1/2 inches.

@larrypan2571 5 месяцев назад

Hey man, which shaft did you get? the classic or the crown? Thank you so much for this vid and I have decided on this brand because of the video. Did not expect to see Topshot(my favorite place in EDM)randomly on in a random video on the internet

@HereAfterBilliards 5 месяцев назад

When I got the Dante the SMO didn't exist. There was only the original CF that they call the Classic now. Since then I've upgraded to the SMO and it's well worth it. I'm very happy with it. I live in Edmonton so TopShots sneaks into quite a few of my videos😜

@freddierodriguez2608 Год назад

You have the only review of this cue. I purchased it right after I watched your video. Can't wait to get it in my hands. I put a predator victory medium with it and 6" extension. What do you think on my choice tip? I don't know much about pool equipment

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

Well you definitely won't regret this purchase. I love the cue and it's been serving me well. I have the Taom Fusion tip on mine but I had my friend put it on...not the factory. I've never hit with that Predator tip so I can't speak to it. ❤️👍 Thanks for watching and commenting

@jasonsanders9054 Год назад

Pretty cute. I saw when they added that one about 2 months ago. I thought it was a beautiful cue as well. Did you go with another sight plate from j flowers or did you just do like I did and get a white pad from Kamikaze or someone?

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

No it came with the white sight plate. I've never actually shot with a carbon fiber without one so I really couldn't tell you if it's helping me. This is literally only my third carbon fiber shaft so... Do you find its way different without one shooting with the black shaft and no white ferule?

@jasonsanders9054 Год назад

@@HereAfterBilliards not really, I actually liked the black better. But the pad was just a precaution when changing tips. Probably not needed but tip change just concerned me more when I got a carbon fiber cue 2 year ago. Honestly think all it did was add a touch more deflection to the shaft by adding a little more weight. Most probably wouldn't even notice. But that being said I haven't removed it because it hasn't bothered me

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

@@jasonsanders9054 Interesting. Maybe I'll try it without the sight plate when I change tips next

@michaelvuong5826 Год назад

Hey! I got my jflower cue a few months ago! Love it. However the medium tip that came with it fell off after a few hours. I was ok with it because I was gonna put a kamui on it anyway. It came after 3 days and communication with the company was top notch. They didn’t have my wrap choice and they reached out right away. I have zero regrets on the purchase. I looked into getting a cuetec or predator carbon fiber cue and it seemed impossible to find one online to get shipped to me here in Canada. I can’t recommend this cue enough to ppl

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

I'm glad to hear this. I've had a few comments here where people are having problems getting their cue because they're back ordered in Florida. The Moori tip is garbage for sure. I've got a Taom Fusion on right now and I'm absolutely loving it! I love my Dante 2👍👍

Lucky you. The cue I ordered from JFlowers in December won't be here till June. Back order of course. I guess all the good reviews on RU-vid has really helped their sales.Good for them. Of course watching this video only made my patience wear thinner. :0) No you're not a moron. many people can't afford to buy just a shaft that cost more than your stick. People on a budget should have options to own a beautiful cue ( with a carbon shaft ) like the one your holding with that big smile on your face. HereAfter enjoy it!

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

This is kind of crazy cause you're not the first person commenting on this video who says they're having an issue getting their cue. It kind of pisses me off but I can only comment on my experience. I guess I got lucky and they had this newer model in stock and had no issues shipping it. I'm not affiliated with J Flowers so I can't even contact anyone to provide them with your feedback. I guess if you know anyone else who's having the same issues you are I'd ask you to comment here. If there's enough feedback I'd be happy to make another video outlining these supply issues. Kind of an update video on the topic of delivery times. Man I hope you get you're cue before June that's for sure

@dustindao3010 Год назад

I saw lots of people complaining about the moori tip which comes with it falling off. That is why I asked Jflowers itself to put for me the kamui black clear soft. So was this about the tip application of the Jflowers or the tip quality itself?

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

Tip quality. When we replaced it it was on there really well. The thing about it was it was incredibly hard. A medium shouldn't hit that way.

@9ballrunout Год назад

Hi.. did touch on why you went from 11.8 to a 12.5mm shaft.. I'd like to know why.. I have J Flowers break cue love it.. like you said you can't beat the price.. and it breaks just as good as the higher end brands

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

Yeah I totally forgot to speak to that. Basically with the 11.8 I found that your margin for error was much less. So in other words it was easier to miss if you weren't hitting the cue ball exactly where you thought you were hitting it. Does that make sense? Basically I had become cue lazy and had was slacking with my fundamentals. The 11.8 was good because it forced me to practice consciously to keep my head still and down after the contact. Also to change my eye pattern and make sure I was feathering consistently and actually striking the cue ball where I thought I was. It was good for my overall game... But heading back to the 12.5 feels great and like an old glove. You wouldn't think there's that much difference between the two shaft sizes but there really is. I hit on this topic in part 3 of my stun run-through video. If you're interested check it out. Thanks for watching. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XZ6KInKTPbg.html

@PostUp_Time Год назад

@@HereAfterBilliards DID YOU FEEL THE 11.8 WAS TOO THIN FOR THE BRIDGE? SEEN VISEOS WITH 11.8 AND THE SHAFTS VIBRATE MORE, CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT IN VIDEOS. YOU HAVE LESS LEATHER DIRECTING THE CUE BALL. SO YOU HAVE TO BE ON TARGET. PER YOUR COMMENT MARGIN ERROR IS SMALLER. MINNESOTA FATS PLAYED WITH A 13.5MM AND SHOT GREAT PRECISION. ON THE OTHER HAND FOR TOUGH SHOTS NEEDING A PRECISE HIT, THE 11.8 MAY BE FAVORED? WHO KNOWS, FEDOR PLAY WITH 12.5, ETC. ETC....

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

@@PostUp_Time Exactly right. With the 11.8 you really have to be on point or you will risk missing. With that being said it did help retrain me and get the lazyness out of my stroke. Cueing the 11.8 was easier which I guess is one of the advantages of going with it.

@jasonsanders9054 Год назад

@@HereAfterBilliards hey I was meaning to ask you about the cue extension. How does it affect cueing when using it? I didn't get one. Due to being only 5' 8 and playing on 9 foot tables all my life I just use a mechanical bridge. But I've been considering buying one of the 8 inch extensions. My concern is how the length in bridge would probably cause some miscues and miss aiming of the shots. I mean the longest bridge I ever use is only 14 inches. I'm usually in the 12 inch bridge length on most shots. Will go as close as 8 inch on some shots. But a lot of this has to do with when applying side spin I only use front hand English. On soft to medium soft shots no aim correction required and on medium firm to hard shots just a little correction required. I know people who use both back hand and front hand English to not have to adjust aim but for me it's always been easier to just use front hand and adjust aim when using more speed. Plus I don't really like to do anything that changes any part of my swing of the back arm. All this being said over the years I tended to use center ball more and more.

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

@@jasonsanders9054 I think it works great and doesn't effect anything in the stroke. However I have the smaller extension. Basically if you have to position yourself at one end of the table and your cue ball is past the side pocket you can start thinking of grabbing the extension. There's been many times where I got lazy and just finished my run out before I went back to the table to unscrew it. The weight is obviously felt but it's not obscene. My concern with the long extension is the distance your bridge hand would be if you needed that length. Seems rather unsteady like you said. In those situations I'm quite comfortable with the rest and getting shape that way. So I can't speak to the 8 inch you're looking at but the smaller one I use quite often on the 9 foots.

@genejoe Год назад

Did i miss in the video that you talking about why you change tip from 11.8 to 12.5 tip?

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

No you didn't 😢 I forgot to go back to that. With an 11.8 you most certainly need to have all aspects of your cueing action firing in all cylinders. I don't buy the "It's easier to feather" arguement. It may not seem like a lot but it's very noticeable the diameter change. The short of it is your margin of error is less with the 11.8. The 12.5 feels so good again. It was an interesting experiment but the 11.8 wasn't for me.

@genejoe Год назад

@@HereAfterBilliards i have a cuetec 11.8. But sometimes i have some errors that i miss a ball. That why i doubt if its the tip is to small for me. Thats why i am buying a jflower 12.5 now to see the differents

@HereAfterBilliards Год назад

Yes! This will happen with an 11.8mm tip. The same thing happened to me and the reason I came up with was I had become cue lazy. What it is is you think you're hitting the cue ball in a specific spot but actually somewhere through your feathering and the actual stroke you hit the cue ball just a little off of where you think you're contacting it. This actually made me bear down and correct the problem. This is what made the 11.8.mm experience for me a positive one. It pointed out a glaring problem that crept into my stroke. Now that it's corrected though like I said... I've gone up to the 12.5 and it's been amazing.

@@tedmallen3139 I really have no idea. I've never played with such a joint. For example I played with a Huebler for over 20 years and it had a stainless steel pin that screwed into a nylon insert.

With that being said I've shot with JFlowers for over a year now and I've had no problems.

I think the cues of it could be good quality as others, too. But the shafts are not that quality as much as Predator, Cuetec and many others as I played it before. Its shafts don't make much differences from just the vantage, 314-2, Z shafts only.

Americans will still make money from the cues. Going out playing pool. Pool time, food and drinks, waitress tips. Besides there's no sense in denying hard working people a chance to make a living who have nothing to do with political decisions. And the money you can save on a good deal you can spread around your town.
