For a while now I've had almost my ideal playing setup. Couple years ago I picked up a Gilbert jump/break that I love and is great for breaking and long jump shots. A year ago I got my perfect playing cue in my custom ordered Runde. And after a long search I finally found a Chuck Fields case available. Almost perfect!!
Only thing missing was a dedicated jump cue. I had a Jacoby once that was unmatched for short and tight jump shots. Have tried a lot and never found one I like better for tight jumps. But my Fields case has two small pockets so no room for a jump butt. Today, while visiting Jacoby cues I asked if they could add a second joint to a jump butt for me. Not only could they, but they did it same day for me while I was there!!
So happy to have a true jump cue that fits in my case. Now my set is 100% complete!
(They did suggest rings would help prevent chipping, but it would take longer and I couldn't have had it today. I don't mind a little chipping over time on a jump butt so I went without).
