Update: I ended up order the Limited Edition OB break cue w/ Control shaft from Seyberts. Should be in by tomorrow and ill get to test run with it by Thursday. Hoping it will have been a good purchase even though I was leaning towards the Samsara break cue. But at half the price, coming from...

The Control shaft would definitely be my choice if I went OB. I've used a few different breaks tips, currently using the Samsara (much rather that over phenolic). I do want to try out the Hammerhead though. Have heard great things about it, plus Chris Renfro is a stand up guy in my book...

I just choose to not break hard, im more of a control break... maybe 60-80% power depending on the conditions and game being played. I have tried the Rush, but the feel of it doesn't suit what im looking for. I've tried a Dymondwood (don't remember which one, I think Alex Brick) and was...

Heard great things about Samsara as well. But, I want to buy a dedicated breaker and get away from the J/B cues. Also, I don't mind spending the money on a cue. I know I can recoup majority of it back in a sale if I dont like it.

Heard the same thing about the Control shaft being a different animal. Unfortunately, no one I know in my league uses an OB Rift or at least that im not aware of.

Not a fan of Predator, tried the BK2 & Rush. Not bad for breaking but just not for me. Thx for the reply though.

Ok... but that doesn't help me...

When I buy im buying brand new but thanks anyways!

I've been using the Stinger for a couple years now. Its just time for me to try something else. Feel I could find something with a bit more solid feel behind it. Im not a power breaker so I need something to compliment that.

Looking at a few different break cues right now. Need to upgrade from this run of the mill McDermott Stinger. I've been doing alot of reading on a few different cues. Everything from regular maple to dymondwood to carbon fiber. My question to yall is of the ones listed what do yall prefer...

McDermott Quick Release, not sure the actually size. Guess you could email them to find out?

I’m actually trying to get ahold of Samsara to get a price on a break cue. Still have not gotten a response via email or Facebook. Anyone know of a better way to get in touch with them?

They do and ive tried it, but im not a fan of it. I'd rather have a jumper with that bell on the end, felt a bit more natural in my hand.

For me it isn't a what but a who that got me interested... my father. He had always shot pool since a young age and played in leagues for over 20 years. He doesn't really play any more but every now and then I can entice him to a game or two. He had me hold my first pool stick when I was...

I second the customer service from McDermott. Has always been top notch in my book and they have great products to boot as well!
