Anyone got any shooting/playing info on Jacoby or Espiritu cues?

Is it worth the money if i can find one on sale?

I have a Jacoby sneaky kinda like the predator sneaky with the ss joint. I bought a predator shaft for it from seyberts =) and its the best playing cue I have ever played with. If it hit any better it would be shooting for me.

I just found a really distinctive one for about 250$, thx for the brand info anon.

I own a Jacoby and it plays very similar to my Schons, my two custom made Jacksons, and my Peachauer. The the quality of workmanship and materials is first class (as are the other brands mentioned) and Dave hase some very interesting designs! As for the Espiritu cues I have never had the chance to shoot with one so I couldn't comment on that brand. My best playing cue is a Nova. It plays noticibly better than my other cues, even my Schons and Jacksons (which have Predator shafts). The Novas are a little more difficult to come by. They don't produce cues in the quantity that Schon or Predator does. They are somewhat pricy, on par with Schons, and you'll have to do a little searching to find a dealer but is worth the effort.

I saw some novas for sale up at my local pool hall but they were kinda pricey like in the 900-1100 $ range if i remember, ill see if i cant find some lower end models though lol.

Check with Classic Billiards in Kenosha, Wisconsin. They used to be a big Nova dealer. That's where I bought mine back in....good lord...uhh....97 I think. Really sad that Nubs called it quits. I was about to buy another.
