First jump cues

[daveb]

Who began making the firsr jump cues? I have an old Meucci Original jump cue, a shortened version of one of their production cues, and that got me wondering about who first began to make/manufacture the jump cue? Just curious about their origin, not your opinion about whether they should be used or not.

I wrote that.

And it is still my understanding that Pat was the first to use a short cue to jump with.

I remember reading someplace something Pat himself wrote about creating the jump cue. I think at first he had a false back end to the cue to make it look like it was normal length, yet was still light enough.

The first ones I ever saw were meucci's, wonder if they were the first production ones out. Late 80's.

out of the philly area there was "leap frog" jumpers that were like 15mm.....easy to jump but usually got looks of terror.

I remember gaff bets with guys jumping with their shaft only.....back in the late 80's
