Need Advice on Ebay's $30 Jump Cues?

Title correction!! "JUMP CUES"

I'm looking to buy a cheap JB cue to practice with, but I was wondering if any of you may have some input on the ones offered on Ebay. There are several in the $30 range and figured good enough to start practicing with. Some have a ferrule and some don't, but all have a phenolic tip. Which is better?
Is it worth it? Since I'm not an experience jumper I'm not looking to spend a whole lot. Just something to pittel with.

Seriously post in the wanted/for sale section. Say you are looking for a cheap jump cue and see what pops up. I was just browsing one day and saw a Gulyassy Reaper Jump Cue for sale for $60. They retail for I think around $225 or so. I was skeptical at first but when I got it the cue was in pristine condition. The seller just wanted to get rid of it cause he a had a custom one on the way. Seriously just post and see what you can get. Might spend around $50 so it might be a little above those $30 ebay jump cues, but you might end up getting something really good for really cheap. GL.
 
I have the birdseye one pictured, it's a sharp looking cue in person, doesn't look cheap at all. It jumps easily and is well made. I taught myself how to jump with it. I have no complaints at all. I actually like it better then the frog jump cue. I don't think you'd be disappointed at all. And at $30 you can't go wrong.

Any of the three are good jumpers for 1/2 table to 3/5 table. More than that you need a Stealth AT1 to be precise.

There are so many that make claim to be better than the next.
I know it goes much deeper than that. Just like Custom Cues.

But, when you think about it, what are most of them other than a shaft with a handle.
 
I have no problem jumping with my cheap jump cue, but I used to be able to jump with a full length mcdermott that I once had, so my technique is very good.

:wink:

These jump cues are as good as any $70 bungee. Probably made by the same company only the Bungee has a decal.

I like my $20 Axiom jump cue. How well a person jumps is mostly his skill in jumping and not the cue.

Now I do make a tip that jumps possibly as good as anything out there.:wink:
 
Thanks Guy's! I was looking for a little reassurance and got exactly what I was looking for. Off to Ebay to place the bid!

And if you want to save a few bucks, just email the seller asking for an invoice for $28 shipping included and send him your email address. :thumbup:

Thanks for the advice but I had already place the order (billiardsheaven) Thurs the 31st and recieved the cue last night.

HERE'S MY REVIEW.

I spent time shooting with it last night. I was so excited. I have never shot nor jumped before and i was jumping shots across the table and pocketing the object balls.
Now keep in mind I have no past experience with other jump cues, but after spending $32.99 (including shipping) for this bad boy, I would highly recomend it for any player looking for there first jumper.

Thats how we all used to have to do it. Til we decided we needed another stick in the case.
