The forearm is Rengas. The handle and four points are Madagascar Ebony. There is a jump/break conversion quick release joint at base of the points that is ideal for jumping. The joint is wood to wood with a quick release pin. The 2nd Joint is at the base of the points to break down for jumping (or for use as a short cue).

This cue features two shafts!

The break shaft features a short melamine phenolic ferrule with a 13.5 mm very hard - layered leather tip with extremely stiff taper. This cue simply smashes the balls and is legal in all competition! You simply will not believe the increase in power on your break shot!

The jump shaft has a black phenolic ferrule with a 13.5 mm phenolic jump tip. Jumping is effortless and accurate! Pocketing the object ball on the jump shot becomes easier than you ever though possible.

This is the first cue we have seen on the market that comes with two shafts specifically built for jumping and breaking, and the quick release joint makes it easy to switch from one shaft to the other. This is simply the best performing Jump Break Cue we have found anywhere near the price. This jump break cue performs far better than many jump break cues at three times the price! Most jump break cues are simply standard cues with an extra joint installed. The BW jump break cue is specifically built for maximum power and control on the break AND effortless, accurate jumps!

The 3rd Generation has improved in several regards. The Redwood forearm with ebony points is simply stunning! The lacquer finish is thicker and has far superior gloss. The shaft wood is grade A Canadian hard rock maple. The break tip is very hard, layered leather and is legal in all competition. The jump tip is brown phenolic (bakelite) on a black phenolic ferrule. The jump shaft is also suitable for breaking where phenolic tips are legal. The break shaft is suitable as a playing shaft for customers who prefer a very thick, stiff shaft with a very hard tip.



$99 aint a bad price but I would like to get some real feedback before purchasing one.

Never heard of it but the different shafts for jumping and breaking seems gimmicky to me. I use a samsara on my bk3 and have no problem jumping with it.
 
Looks like they got a China maker to make a BW branded break cue for them, it's probably in the same class as the J&J breakers.

Is that good or bad??? Made in China should give me my answer.

It would be good enough for the price to do the job. No clue how it will jump though, breaking does not take a lot of skill to make a break stick, but you do need to know what you are doing to make a good jump cue. I have had two J&J cues and they are both OK, obviously not the best wood used and the points/butterflies are a bit rough, but they have a tip, a shaft and fit in your case and have not come apart on me yet :D .

I have not found much differences between breaking with a house cue vs breaking with a $70 J&J vs breaking with my friends $300 Lomax break/jump cue.
 
I've owend the 1st and 2nd gen breaker, not the 3rd. I thought it was cool to have two shafts, one with hard leather for break control and one for jumping..pretty easy with the quick release joint to change these out and no one jumps that much in a match or otherwise. As far as the performance it does a great job. $99 dollars is a no brainer for someone who wants a good break and jump cue but doesn't want to spend much money. If you have $400 to spend then you have better options for sure ;) Also, Greg is a solid guy who will take care of any issue you may experience if you have one at all.
 
I think the two shafts is a good idea.
For me, a good jump shaft is not a good break shaft.
And a good jump tip is not a good break tip.

Thanks Stuart. I guess for $99 I can't go wrong as long as the joint holds up and the shaft doesn't bend/warp. What weight did you go with?

I apologize, just saw this. I remember the 2nd Gen was 18.5 and the 1st I believe was 19. I prefer a lighter break cue myself but this is personal preference. Give Greg a call if you're interested and he'll give you some more detailed info. He will always be honest with you too, he's a very good guy to deal with. Good luck with whatever you decide!
