A problem solved...thanks Jacoby!

For a while now I've had almost my ideal playing setup. Couple years ago I picked up a Gilbert jump/break that I love and is great for breaking and long jump shots. A year ago I got my perfect playing cue in my custom ordered Runde. And after a long search I finally found a Chuck Fields case available. Almost perfect!!

Only thing missing was a dedicated jump cue. I had a Jacoby once that was unmatched for short and tight jump shots. Have tried a lot and never found one I like better for tight jumps. But my Fields case has two small pockets so no room for a jump butt. Today, while visiting Jacoby cues I asked if they could add a second joint to a jump butt for me. Not only could they, but they did it same day for me while I was there!!

So happy to have a true jump cue that fits in my case. Now my set is 100% complete!


(They did suggest rings would help prevent chipping, but it would take longer and I couldn't have had it today. I don't mind a little chipping over time on a jump butt so I went without).

Agreed! They make a great playing cue and do so with true professionalism. I have had a playing cue from them as well and it was great. My friend has two and uses one as his main cue. We go up there at least once a year to check things out and always have a great time visiting the shop/showroom and playing on their old 10' table.

That's a good looking cue, I love green in cues! My Runde has green veneers and this Jacoby jump is green stained even though it looks black in these pics.

Has anyone tried their break cue?
I think it's called Edge, but I'm not sure.

Actually broke with an Edge for the first time while at their shop today. It's interesting, the butt has a "barrel taper" so it's really fat in the handle section. Breaks great though, very solid hit, it's stiff and feels like there isn't any wasted energy.
