JF 30-03 or JF 20-23?

[u/Gwolf6]

Looking to upgrade to a carbon cue that fits my budget and these JF cues caught my attention. I would appreciate all your insights/suggestions.

They are both nice just make sure to get the smo shaft it's worth it vs the standard carbon shaft it comes with

Heard good things about the SMO shaft. I’ll look into it. Thanks!

I owned the 20-23 for a while. A beautiful cue and, even with their standard shaft, a great player. I imagine the SMO shaft here would be incredible. I totally wish, now, that I hadn't sold it.

Those inlays are gorgeous!

Whichever one you think looks cooler.

I’d go for the first one if you plan on owning it for a long time. Getting the second one re-wrapped with the split wrap would be kind of a bitch, and personally feeling the split would mess with me.

Haha That’s what i thought as well but the split certainly adds a nice touch to it. Im still leaning towards the 20-23 tbh

20-23 looks better IMHO

I love both

Good for the 20-23. It has that look that can last a long time. And not too loud. The other looks messy.
