Hi Chris,
I may not be one from which you would want feedback at 61 & mostly an 8 ball player that breaks from the side rail.
Anyway, I have two break/jump cues, one with a Picone White Diamond that I put on looking for more power while trying to keep control & one with a hard Talisman.
I like the Talisman better as I hit my break shots with low outside english. The Picone tip is a miscue waiting to happen & hence I don't go as far from center as I would like. The Talisman allows that but does not have the energy transfer that the Picone does.
Best 2 You & Good Luck with the New Products.
Rick
