I have been down this road, I had a professional dedicated jump cue made in Finland that was spectacular, but I opted for a stick that does both, break and jump. What I found myself doing because of having an extra stick in the bag, when a jump situation came along I had a tendency not to get it out of my case and just try kicking out of the problem. In other words, the extra work of getting the third stick out of the bag was oftentimes causing me to try a kick shot instead of assembling my jump cue on the spot. The j/b I purchased, shown in above post, is the perfect combination to me. It breaks like a hammer, and jumps so easily, and the three-piece butt section allows me to adjust to my favorite length and weight. I would say that it jumps every bit as good as my dedicated professional jump cue. Now I have eliminated the extra stick in my bag, and I have j/b cue that is every bit as good as a dedicated break cue and a dedicated jump cue.
