I tried jumping again today with my playing cue. I made it 1 time out of like 10, lol.

Who makes quality custom cases other than Justis and JB? Both of those guys are slightly out of my price range and I was wondering if there was anyone else in the business. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a hard 2x4 with plain black leather, couple extra pockets, and some silver accents.

I had this picture posted in the gallery section, but thought I'd start a thread here for a little more exposure. Basically I'm just wondering when it was made, what model it is, and what you think it might be worth today? I have about 17 hours left to make up my mind as to whether or not I...

So because it "looks close" it's not actually a foul? Or it's not a foul because he's a pro, which is it? Yes, I would call a foul on a pro if we were playing in a tournament or for money. You shouldn't get away with fouls just because you're well known.

Did you even watch that video??? The cueball rolls up the shaft of the cue and bounces off, THEN goes over. It's not possible to strike an object, have it travel up, then for no apparent reason, change direction and move forward all by itself. Yes, that is definitely a foul.

Wow! :eek:

Just wondering when it might've been made, what model number, and general cost? Unfortunately this is the only good photo that I have of it.

That was a foul. The CB hits the tip of the cue again after the first impact, which is what propels it forward, not some crazy sort of jumping ability. Jump sticks do help, I'll admit it, but they don't let you bend the laws of physics.

Lol, are you saying it's impossible to damage a ferrule? Maybe you just don't hit as hard as you think you do.

+1 for the Q Claw. I use it all the time and it fits easily in the long compartment of my case.

I don't know what my problem is then. Maybe I'm just not putting as much speed behind the shot as there needs to be, or maybe I'm changing the angle at the last second? I'll have to try it again today to see if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Just wondering how many people actually use their playing cue to jump with? Personally, I don't, I have a jump cue that I like to use. I've tried jumping with house sticks and I just can't seem to get it. I've even tried using my new SP, which has a fairly hard tip on it, and I can't do it...

Jay, what kind of tricks and tips are we talking about here? Like signing an "x" ontop of the pocket that your opponent will be shooting at? :D

Where are you located?

Bump for a good looking cue.

Lol, I think half of the people opposed to jump cues must not have ever picked one up. There's nothing magical about using a jump cue, you don't use one and then instantly are able to jump, kick precisely, or even jump and pocket balls. Just jumping reliably takes practice, contrary to what...

Definitely agree, this is a great looking cue. In fact, I like a lot of Helmstetter/Adam cues, I don't see why they don't get more coverage than they do.

Obviously I'm not a league player. :D Good to know. My question still stands though.

What's with all the hate for jump cues? I love my jump cue and wouldn't want anyone telling me I couldn't shoot with it, so I wouldn't tell anyone they couldn't shoot with theirs. I see a lot of people saying that people should jump with their playing cues. I sort of see where they're coming...

So what should they have done instead? What if Aramith simply can't come up with a harder set of cueballs? Phenolic tips gain their hardness from the fact that they're made up of fibers, normally comprised of carbon, which are set in a resin that again adds to the strength of the final product...
