Another point I would like to make is that the way the phenolic used for most jump cues here in the US and over seas is made, the chance of cracking or chipping is very probable because of the way it is manufactured. My material is almost indestructible.

I sent you a PM Mr. Gulyassy.
I will use any tip and ferrule you would like.
I agree that the ultra-light (cue ball weight or less) is the nuts for getting the ball to jump. Everyone has known that since the days of the shaft jumping. Back in the mid -90s I was putting balsa wood handles on shafts to use as jump cues.
With a shaft you don't even need a phenolic tip. I know you have put a lot of thought and research into your cues so I totally respect both your knowledge of jump cues as well as your skill level.
How's your psychology? Any chance to get Earl using jump cues?
I have one of each of these, Grim Reaper and Orange Crusher. The Grim Reaper is insanely light!
The Orange Crusher has become my new favorite break cue. The shaft taper and balance are perfect.
Good luck with the the sale Mike. At that new sale price, you should sell out very, very shortly.
Take care,
Corey

I made Earl a custom jump cue that fits his needs. He jumps as well as anyone alive. He uses it when he needs it.I agree that the ultra-light (cue ball weight or less) is the nuts for getting the ball to jump. Everyone has known that since the days of the shaft jumping.

I know he jumps great - that's why I have always said that Earl Strickland with a jump cue would be triple deadly.
You know he does stuff with the jump cue I have never seen before. Like follow or draw which I know a lot of experienced jumpers can do. But being a one gear jumper it sure impresses me.
