Best jump shaft wood or material

Hi everyone!
I'm curious about jump cue shafts and would love to hear your opinions
What type of wood is considered best for making a jump cue shaft? Or carbon fiber generally seen as the superior material these days?

Also, what key characteristics should a good jump shaft have?
- How important is stiffness?
- Should the shaft be lighter or heavier?
- And does cue ball deflection play any significant role when it comes to jump shots?

And also what about butt and whole jump cue construction?
- How much should the butt weigh for an effective jump cue?
- Is a forward-weighted balance noticeably better for jump shots?

Looking forward to your insights — thanks in advance!

Predator Sneaky Pete Question

I’d order a Schmelke sneaky Pete with a Kielwood shaft that renders the cue not exactly a SP due to the contrast in wood. Schmelke will work with you contouring the butt diameter, weight, pin type and of course, the shaft would be built to your specs. If you ordered Cocobolo wood for the butt since Schmelke offers different versions, the KW shaft would likely blend in a lot better. You can do this for under $450.00 and the Schmelke SP would still look like a house cue but play more like a custom version. I think this is a great way to go and still wind up with a cue built to your specs that looks like a house cue.
