We actually haven't used phenolic on our jump cues in over a year. We use the G10 tip. Works great for a jump cue if you are looking at switching your tip out.

I am willing to make a deal on any of the machines....prices aren't set in stone.
I will also be willing to spend a weekend with you to train you on any of the machines.

You shouldn't have any problems breaking with that shaft. If you do...let us know, it has a lifetime warranty on it. And as we always say here,
If you can't break with it, don't shoot with it. :)
Pretty sure it is not Schmelke. It has a metric pin, thinking from somewhere in Taiwan.
Guy, it has a pretty bad warp to it....but if you are interested in buying it let me know.
