how do you prefer to jump?

Depend to much on the shot. If its long and you have to go over very little of a opposing ball ill use my playing cue. If its a short jump and i'm going right over the top of a ball ill pull out the short jump cue. Using a jump shot has won a number of tourneys for me. Its just another shot you have to master. And most of the time i'm jumping out of a position i put myself in

I use my telekinetic powers to levitate the cue ball over any obstructing balls and accelerate it into proper line of the shot.

I learned to jump with my playing cue, but found it to be harder on the cloth than using a jump cue. So naturally, I choose to jump with a jump cue now unless I am jumping an object ball over a ball.

Im sure when the leather tips and chalk were introduced there were those who felt they should be outlawed. After all it takes more skill to play perfect position where only center ball is needed.

If this flying-CB chicanery represented a tenet of your Christian faith in the Middle Ages, you jumpers would be burnt at the stake for heresy!

would that make Earl "I jump a ball full table with a meucci" Strickland our Neo-Joan Of Arc?

I agree with Apocalypse2012. Full cue for long distance or 1/2 ball jumps. Jump cue for shorter distance. Although I'll usually kick before I reach for the j/c.

i know right? my god it's kinda sad.

I sort of like to see that old sign "NO JUMP SHOTS" when I walk into a room.

Better still, one place I play has a sign that says that plus imposes a $50 penalty for attempted jump shots.

Burning at the stake sounds good to me.

I saw the comedy, but it was a failure as comedy. I think most people saw the poll options as attempted humor, but chose to discuss the issue instead. I almost blew the thread off as merely failed comedy, but thought I'd take the opportunity for a little editorializing.
