I'm sure every model of available breaker will be represented so I'll go agains the grain and say my custom Nitti break cue is the best (for me) since it was built in every detail, to my exact specifications. Doesn't hurt that is looks b!tchen too. 
The best break cue
- Thread starter bbb
- Start date
i use a mezz PB1 and love it compared to my older break cues that pretty much span every commercial cue you can purchase.
I like my pechauer break cue. It is one of the originals with the white diamond phenolic tip. It is front weighted and it gives me a great spread all the time.
My opinion as well.
Not really
For some players that maybe the case- but it is definitley not. I also have the opinion, that especially on the market for breakers and jumpers you can find really crap for much money.
But there are for sure superb quality things which are every penny worth.
But hey- each to his own- everyone has the right to share his opinion
have a smooth stroke.
Answer:...........The Cue That's In Your Hands.....everything else about superior break results, scatter etc. is all baloney and I own two break cues.......it's a marketing façade.......the cue in your hands at the moment is the best friggin' cue in the world as long as the cue is straight and has a decent tip, then it's the best dam breaking cue in the world as far as I'm concerned.
What's really so much more important than the cue used for breaking is where my cue stroke contacts the cue ball and its resultant strike point on the specific object ball I was aiming to hit. If I take care of those two more important factors, then the cue I use becomes essentially irrelevant....and again, I own two break cues......BK2 & McDermott Stinger......it's really all a bunch of hype trying to sell cues when the cue is the least important element in the outcome of the break.
I do not believe you should break using the cue you play with because that's an unnecessary risk to take since it's the violin you'll be using.....so take care of it, BUTT as long as the cue you break with is straight, has a decent tip and a weight you pleased with, that's all that matters, IMO....break cues are over-rated and not worth the investment. Spend more time on your mechanics and you'll obtain better results than trying to buy it.

I love my OB break cue... hits them hard and easy to control the cue ball. Mine is also a first edition I bought new from Steve Lipsky for a good deal...
I break with a sneaky pete made from the same maker as my playing cue...
I find the Fiberglass Pool Cue at Sears break well and jump well for $35 not bad to try, the squirt on those almost 3"
I don't want to derail this but the owner of the pool room in Paducah told me he thought the Pechauer sneaky pete was an incredible cue for the money and he USED to be a dealer but wasn't anymore. Can I get a catalog or info on that cue?
Thanks,
Ken
