!!! UPDATE: THIS CUE HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN AWAY !!!
What's going on everybody?!?
After being asked plenty of times what I think about a cue, glove, chalk or whatever type of pool product, I thought I would try to start a new series where I can review a pool product and based on my review you can decide if you'd like to try it.
In today's video, I'll be reviewing the JFlowers JF10-10F playing cue ( jflowerscues.com/product/jf10... ). I'll be reviewing each of its specs, hit a few shots with it, and then try to break and run a 9-ball rack with it.
If you think you might be interested in trying a JFlowers cue you can check out there website www.jflowerscues.com and you have until the END OF AUGUST to use the discount code LILCHRIS for 10% off of your purchase.

NOTE: The cue in this video has already been given away and Robbie was the winner! You can see Robbie using his new cue here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eyMbTuRPx48.html At 4:23, of this video, you hear me mention about a transport case that WAS used when cues are purchased. That hard transport case is no longer being used. Instead, the cues are packaged in a soft transport sleeve.

@philipchang4453 Год назад

Lil Chris what's the difference in playing with a soft tip vs that tip, or even harder tips..

@pickleball_tomorrow Год назад

Hey Lil Chris. Curious can this cue use a extension?

@AlfredoGonzalez33 Год назад

Today I got a carbon fiber cue but it's very hard to screw it that's normal or it's defective?

@LilChrisPoolPlayer Год назад

@@philipchang4453 I use to play with a medium tip for the longest time, but when I started using a soft tip I liked the hit, sound, and feel so much better. However, I don’t really see a difference in performance.

@LilChrisPoolPlayer Год назад

@@pickleball_tomorrow Jflowers has an extension for their cues. You can find it here - jflowerscues.com/product/extension/

@davidybarra7171 3 года назад

Remember when u little and bought new shoes..? First thing u did was take off running cause for some reason you think you can run faster..lol. This is the adult version of that.. Try a new cue and you suddenly can shoot lights out.. Never missing a ball.. Till you miss a ball then your "new cue powers" have faded away...lol

@natasharamen8620 4 месяца назад

lol I am the same way 😅😂

@AStrangersBaby 2 года назад

I just joined a league last month and know nothing about cues , banking or even the rules so I cant stress how valuable your videos have been to help me get up to speed in the game. So much work to do but you've really helped- big thanks!

@andraskoleszar9759 3 года назад

I really appreciate that pool companies are making innovations such as carbon shafts more and more available. Love the tests that you did, I think they showcase the cues potential really well!

@22nstewart 3 года назад

This is right up my alley. I've been interested in trying a carbon shaft, especially with a thinner taper. Great stuff as always Mr. Chris, i look forward to the next video.

@franksandrovich4162 3 года назад

Great Video!! Love seeing a down to earth person who enjoys the game and is at a high level explain things so simply for us "Lower Players" Keep it going!!

@_Blinny_ 3 года назад

i've been looking at these cues for a while and I think you just helped me confirm that this is the new cue I'd like to go with. Thanks for the review!

@codytarantino1506 3 года назад

I haven’t done any reviews on pool cues before and I am still trying to find the right fit for me when playing pool. But I love when you do reviews because they help me better understand the different modifications that help me feel more comfortable when playing.

@khaoticvengeance1096 2 года назад

Love this new format, cant wait to see what other cues you review! Would love to see some comparisons to other cues at similar price points in the future!

@trooperdee1970 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. Your explanation on everything you do and letting us know why it was possibly off because of how it was hit is great. Have been watching your videos for a long time and love how you help teach the way it should be taught. Not necessarily the book way but in a way is simple and direct to the lesson

@alarson8355 2 года назад

Thanks Chris…..I enjoyed you testing this cue and it makes me want to try it out. Keep up the good work. My favorite part of this video was the 9ball runout with your description of how you made each shot.

@waynehoneyman2094 3 года назад

Nice review Chris! I really appreciate your videos and the manner in which you present them. Keep up the good work.

@rickyabeyta7423 3 года назад

Chris i can appreciate all your videos and this is no exception. Great video keep up the good work!

@rbattle5937 3 года назад

Great review as always. I'm 76 and been playing pool since i was 16. You would think I know a lot about pool. But, when ever I watch one of your videos I nearly always learn something that I can go and practice. I've always used a 12mm tip because I'm a english lover and like the action I get with a smaller tip. the Flowers Cue seems like a really good deal especially with the CF shaft. I checked the deflection on my cue and was aghast, I've had the same cue for many years and your review has made me take a second look at buying a new cue stick. Thanks so much for the tips your videos always show. Please keep it up.

@rickyhonerkamp2526 3 года назад

I have been considering on of these cues for a while now. Your review has convinced me it might be worth a try. Thanks for your honest opinion.

@spencermyson 2 года назад

Thanks for the review Chris. It is actually your stroke and your rhythm that is subconsciously teaching me. A graphite shaft is something I've always wanted to try so I appreciate this opportunity to maybe own one. At any rate I'll keep watching your vids.

@sebastiandiazliston1767 2 года назад

JFlower cues are definetely great for the money. Keep on making great videos, they are really valuable to our pool community. Thanks for everything you do chris!

@bozedewolf1234 3 года назад

The first cue that I bought (20 years ago) as a novice player was based on how "cool" it looked. It was quite heavy with a wooden drive shaft. Very decent cue but very heavy. A good informational video like this one would most definitely have directed me toward a different choice. Good review! Clear explanation - Thank you!

@stevegunn9971 3 года назад

Great review, Chris! Really liked the close up in the deflection test. Looks like a quality cue!

@jaredginther1519 3 года назад

Also really liked this review format, different from a lot of ones I’ve seen. Looks like a good series you’ve started. Definitely keep it going!

@samuelmandell8995 3 года назад

That was a great review, I liked all the areas that you looked at. When I bought my cue, I didn't look at all those features, so your video was really an instruction on what to look for when purchasing a cue. Thanks!

@spiro7424 2 года назад

Thanks for the review. Always enjoy watching your skills and hearing your thoughts.

@GLENNMORTON1 Год назад

This is very exciting to learn from someone like yourself Chris. I think your really great and I love the fact that I can learn so much from you. Thank you for all of the good lessons.

@ronthepoolstudent 3 года назад

Best cue review I’ve ever seen! Excellent job Lil Chris, WELL DONE! 👍🏻

@chrisdrippe 3 года назад

This was a very nice review Chris! Beautifully done Break and run, I really liked your break, you broke solid with a medium, not too hard hit, because you played with a magic rack, the wing ball went right in, and the balls spread apart nicely, with a wide open table. My favorite shot of the rack, was when you shot the 5 ball and stunned over to the short rail, with stun and a little left, to come down for the 6, you had very good speed control, not hitting it too hard. Keep making awesome videos, John

@quantumfixits7574 3 года назад

Outstanding review of the J Flowers cue stick Chris...a lot of pertinent info that will really help someone interested in this cue to make the decision on whether or not to purchase it. Like the editing and presentation buddy...good job!

@TwoEagleStar 3 года назад

Enjoyed the review Chris. Very thorough and I feel you checked all the boxes a cue review should feature. Appears to be a great value cue for the price. Well done!!

@keithhouston14 3 года назад

Very good review. You did an awesome job on describing the details and the way the cue performs. I've been eyeing this brand of cues for awhile wondering if it is worth the money for the inlay series they have. Thank you so much for the awesome videos. Keep it up!

@robertmickey6558 2 года назад

Your review of the Flowers carbon fiber cue was spot on - you covered the necessary attributes of a cue with a sound valuation. I would certainly love to make this cue my own. I currently play with a Cuetec R360 but would really like to make the switch to carbon fiber. Thanks again for your review and giveaway consideration. Keep up the good work.

@BoomchuckGolf 3 года назад

Great review Chris! I've been wanting to try out this cue badly as an entry into the carbon fiber world! I'm fairly new to playing pool more consistently and only have home Dufferin cues that came with my table. I feel this is great starter cue for the price!

@amorse76 3 года назад

Great video Chris! Love the review and looking forward to this cue arriving to try out 😉

@roberternst6981 3 года назад

This cue review demonstrates an improvement over what I currently use. I really enjoy your training videos!☺

@Pomykala325 3 года назад

Awesome review! It looked like you were able to get some good cue ball action with those practice shots before the 9-ball rack! This will definitely be a great starter cue for the CF route!

@hafsatbelo-osagie2019 2 года назад

I have never used a carbon fiber cue. I'd really love to own this. I enjoy watching your videos and I've learnt a whole lot cos you've helped me improve my game. Thanks so much lil'chris, you rock!

@hardtimesbbq5265 2 года назад

Good review! I love the rubber mat flooring around your Diamond pool table! I went with gym rubber floor mats for my billiard room also, best flooring option I think, often overlooked!

@michelnuevo2365 3 года назад

Thank you Lil' Chris! What a great new video format! I don't think you should review products every week, but once in a while, it could be interesting and insightful. I was totally sold after this review of the JF10-10F, and I'm planning to get one, unless I'm the lucky one who wins the raffle. ;) But I'm definitely thinking about trying it and see how it feels, because I've never played with a carbon fiber shaft and I liked the sound of it when you tested it. Great new format, great review, and great channel! Keep it up!

@hashm296 2 года назад

Wonderful tests.. you make me excited to explore more about carbon fiber cues!

@matthewlewis79 3 года назад

Great review. Very honest. Great for an introductory cue for new players. Great jumpstart carbon fiber cue for newbies. Keep up the awesome advice you give.

Hi Chris! It seems that is a really nice cue, I'm thinking in buying a cue soon and I would love to have one of those right now. Great review, thanks!!

@trdja 2 года назад

I was very happy to see this cue reviewed. I have been considering it for a bit now as an replacement got my Z3 Predator cue I love the Predator very much but the shaft split, and I cant replace and from what I have seen the J. Flowers plays very well. Thanks for the review

@gordkuhn 2 года назад

I enjoy your videos. Thanks to you I learned how to make my subscriptions public. Keep up the great work

@tonysantoro3179 3 года назад

Great video review! It was a fair look at an entry level cue with both technical spec checks and playability from an established player’s point of view. I’ve been considering adding a carbon fiber shaft to my locker, and this cue seems to be a great choice for my ‘first look’ at carbon fiber.

@khaleelu 2 года назад

great review, love your content, been watching your videos from the beginning!

@waynem.8473 3 года назад

Great video Chris! I think your tests were good. It is a good affordable stick with a great shaft for someone who wants the quality but it’s not in their price range. I was shocked when you told me how much that cue with the shaft!

@bovalle09 2 года назад

Excellent review! Been looking for a great one on this cue.

@luisgaray2550 2 года назад

Thanks for the well done unbiased review! Never played with a CF shaft so it does makes me curious to try one out.

@oaklecopel 2 года назад

Joined APA last year and reignited my love for the game. Just worked my way up to SL-5. I’ve been looking into carbon-shaft cues and was excited to see your review on this one. May have to add this to the Christmas list

@pennypicker3306 2 года назад

A very good review of what seems to be a quality affordable cue. At 70 years old, I still love the game.

@gregmartin8939 2 года назад

@867star 3 года назад

Great to see that carbon shaft products are wiggling down in value. Great playing too. It would be nice to see how reliable it would be for swerve shots too, but this already plenty of information. Thanks Chris!

@lewisplayspool 2 года назад

Definitely considering upgrading to a J.Flowers carbon fibre cue for my next playing cue! Thank you and Cue Listings for reviewing this brand of cues - a fan from Hong Kong!

@larryengland7001 2 года назад

Good review with a lot of info; I'm almost 75 and considering trying one since I play in three leagues and practice each day.For this price I believe I'll try it tho I enjoy the ques I've used over the decades;I'm curious and able to afford it so thanks again for the review I've watched several recently.Definitely informative.

@joshuanorton8395 2 года назад

Thanks for all of your great videos! My wife and I watch them almost daily. We are new to APA and have learned so much from you. I am currently trying to learn how to properly use side spin. Your que ball diagram helps out so much!!! We currently share a cue from the thrift store. I couldn't imagine having a cue like this one! Look forward to your stream this weekend announcing the winner 😃

@brucemoeller2174 2 года назад

Lil chris that was great demo .as always great advice.like all your tips

@dallasdecker3946 3 года назад

Looks like a great buy. I'm playing with a Predator with a CF shaft. Really like it. As far as inlay vs decal, I played with 2 different Griffon cues that were decals and I thought they played good. Thanks for the great review. When all the weights and measures were so right on, makes me think they are pretty quality control orientated.

@mobass8354 3 года назад

I’ve looked at these and thought about buying one great review it’s great to see that the cue plays as good as it looks 😃

@ericpoolguysimpson2954 3 года назад

I was pleased with the deflection test. The zoomed in camera with tap was a great idea! Would be a great cue to own especially for the price!

It seems like a great cue. I love that Carbon Fiber shafts are getting more affordable. I wish I would've known about this cue last year when I bought myself a new playing cue. Awesome video and I love the tests you do especially the deflection tests.

@CDIngallsMusic 3 года назад

Also, I forgot to mention, if you're gonna keep doing these kinds of videos, I'd love to see you do an in depth review of the Poison VX5 break/jump cue. Every video I've seen is basically just an ad for them or it's just some guy that shoots 1 shot and goes "yeah it works, this is a good cue" lol!

@peghaggerty1574 2 года назад

The JFlowers cue is attractive and for the price appears to be a good cue for the money. As you demonstrated it hits well and the carbon shaft is consistent in its deflection. Definitely worth a try.

@jerrysharp6313 2 года назад

Good review on a solid cue. Thanks for the chance at the give away.

@nova70chevelle 3 года назад

Looks like a well balanced piece, I’ve never played with a J Flowers before but would like to try, thanks for the review

@rogersrandoms5405 2 года назад

You did great on this review video. And I agree. It all boils down to preference.

@Benonpool 3 года назад

I like the idea of cue reviews. Any good player knows that you have to play with a cue to see how it feels for you. But also, you as a higher skill have insight that low skill players may not have. I'm an APA 3 3. So this kind of review really helps me know what to look for. I've purchased 2 main cues since I started back in the spring session. I have a players with like an 11mm medium tiger tip. And my current playing cue is a cuetec avid. 12.5. I had the tip changed to a ss kamui black. Looking forward to more reviews of equipment.

@randylee4339 2 года назад

I bought this exact Cue last year, the exact one same wrap and everything, I absolutely love it I've been playing with McDermott's most of my life and like those also but I really like this cute it hits the balls great I love the feel I love the sound I just like everything about it thank you JFlowers
