Something that pops into my head every so often, is how jump cues are allowed now, but aluminum jump "rods" were banned in the past. I suppose it is simply that jumping itself became more prevalent, but is that the case, or were rods really that much easier to use?
I also recall seeing a picture on the internet of one, but maybe as long as over two decades. Does anyone happen to have a picture of one, or actually own one currently?
Note: I tried searching here, but nothing returned for "rod", and including "jump" has enough threads to outweigh several years worth of the Encyclopædia Britannica. I think the last time I saw something about them, it was on one of the iterations of the Pool Digest forum (RIP).
