Thank for reaching out, but I'm short and a 30 in shaft doesn't work so well for my short arms.
I know that doesn't make a lot of sense to people, but I can't play right with an extension either
I have tried. I just go for the bridge.
I tried the first Jacoby Hybrids when people started going to another shaft.
There was a difference but it wasn't the kind of difference I thought it would be.
They were stiff and sometimes you need the shaft to bend a little on nuance shots.
I eventually tried a carbon fiber shaft a friend...
What a nerdy thing to do! I love it. If you wanted to and found easier ways of doing this. You could sell these to all the rooms in the US, where 1-pocket is played.
I'll be trying a new tip before too long, but one question I think remains:
Does the tip (Kintrol) that is used on the Propel Jump Cue break and Jump well?
I need more break shafts!
I may end up having to agree with you.
So far my jump tip (White Diamond) does great for jumping but it needs a firmer stroke than is controllable.
It does ok as a breaker for 9 ball but really is weak for 8 ball, so I use my BK3 for that.
I hope Jadens tip is the magic touch that does both...
The Diamond System in Freddy Bentivegna's books for side rail banks is what I use.
I didn't get it from that book. I developed it on my own, but what I do is nearly identical.
The books show a lot of multi rail banks and his take on passover banks is interesting
but those are developed off feel...
I think the shaft has a great deal to do with it.
I have a 14 mm shaft from a jump cue that fits my jump break with a G10 on it.
Then I have another shaft with G10 on it, but on a less than 13 mm shaft.
The thinner shaft outperformed the 14 mm (both maple) shaft by a long shot on the break...
