Jacoby V4.0 BlaCk by Jacoby

By Garret Troop

Choosing the right shaft for you can be an overwhelming challenge in the world of shafts. Some people are dead set on a none laminated straight wood-to-wood shaft. These are the traditionalist, and they play a lot by feel. There are so many shafts to choose from, and it is mind-boggling.

The Carbon craze hit hard, and many companies have taken the next step and are making these shafts. Many people on either side of the border love or hate them. Jacoby is always on the cutting edge and is always trying to improve what they have for the best playing experience.

They completely redesigned their existing shafts and now created the V4 Black shaft. This shaft is different in almost every way imaginable. They reduced the end mass, creating an even more Low Deflection shaft than they already had. The acoustics of the shaft are greatly different, and you don’t get that “ting” when you hit the balls or the table with it. That’s a big selling point. “See Video” The fine line of carbon was many people didn’t like how stiff they were, and Jacoby found the happy Medium where the amount of flex matches the necessary amount to control the cue ball.

The more you play, the more you play by feel and performance. It doesn’t feel like a carbon shaft. You get instant feedback when you hit the cue ball. That’s ultimately, what you want when playing with any shaft on the market is to feel what you have done right or wrong in your stroke. “This shaft is a game changer.”

These shafts are made right here in the heart of the cue-building country in the middle of Wisconsin. Everything is assembled in the shop and goes through rigorous R&D to get the exact same outcome every time. So many steps are involved in creating these shafts; people take that for granted when they pick it up off the shelf. It’s a consistent way that they create each and every shaft with a lot of care about what goes into it.

They make these shafts in an array of anything you need. From every joint, you can imagine a variety of tip sizes. It is available in 11.80mm, 12.4mm, and 12.75mm. These shafts retail for $475, and the amount of worth that goes into them is incredible.

This shaft retails for $475 and is a very hot item!

The deflection of this shaft can match any other Carbon out there. It’s just enough for you to swerve the ball without losing control. Where you aim is where you hit. This is literally the best shaft I have ever played with, and I feel that once it gets out there, it will have many wooden traditionalists out there making a move to carbon. I have been playing with this shaft for the last six months and feel that when you pick it up, you will feel an immediate difference in your ability to feel the shots you take.

This shaft has a very crisp hit and feel to it. I love the instant feedback you get. With a wooden shaft, the hit has many different Variables: The Pin, The Tip, and The Ferrule. You can buy these shafts from many different retailers in stock at the shop. https://www.jacobycustomcues.com/black_shafts.html
