I sometimes go several league nights wo needing a jump cue, because it's not a shot that comes up that often. When it does, I am ready quickly, and not much hassle. Because the shot does not come up that often players are not that well versed in jumping. It is a skill set that needs practice...
I am 6'1", and sorry, but I have never given thought to a longer stick need for jumping. Usually players disassemble their b\j cue because it's too long or too heavy. Also, some in here are talking about a dedicated break cue and a dedicated jumper, and I was always in that persuasion as well...
Huh? 58 in is not long enough? 🤔 I have to disagree, that is more than sufficient. Plus any length combination you may need. Sorry, if you think that my j / b is not long enough, you may need an instructor?
I just won a game on a short, quick up and down shot, with this jumper. There are a number of things I like about this particular jumper, looks and feel and such, but it is so versatile having a three-piece butt that you can adapt to the shaft to get any jumping need taken care of. Predator...
At age 70, I think I would desire to have a rep install one for me. I would benefit from their suggestions and installation skills to get me started. I really don't want to do it myself, I don't have the patience.
Both will work, it's all in the operator who uses the cue stick. I don't think a dedicated jump cue would work better than my j/bq stick, it is so easy. The bottom line is that it is much easier just to handle your player cue and a j/b cue then three different sticks in the bag.
Here is a drill a friend of mine suggested for me, he is a very good player, and I am an intermediate player. You congregate all 15 balls at least one diamond out in every direction from the rail, and with ball in hand, you pocket all the balls without the cue ball touching a rail. It's a little...
I like the look of the leather elephant ear wrap on my stick, that's probably the main reason I put it on there. Also, I like the feel of it as well, it gives me plenty of grip or slide depending on what I am looking for. I wonder if the op uses the real animal leather or simulated, not sure...
I got new cloth on a table at home, I think it's champion, but I never noticed any fold marks in the cloth itself. First thing that crossed my mind was, how long was this in the package state maybe sitting on a shelf somewhere?
Dang, I installed simulated elephant ear leather wrap on a Pechauer I have, and have been wondering if I could shoot better if I actually had real elephant ear on the cue? I knew something was holding me back! 😉
