    Need Jump AND break cue, would prefer to get both in one cue, suggestions?

    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?

    Need Jump AND break cue, would prefer to get both in one cue, suggestions?

    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...

    Projector training system

    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.

    For pure feel, which wrap is best between Wild Stallion, Bison, Spanish Bull or Shrunken Goat?

    yes, just what a billiards website needs, is more bs. There seems to be more bs than actual pool info. Everybody is a comedian!

    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.

    Why All the DONUTS on Dr. Dave’s Table? AWESOME DRILLS for Players of All Levels!

    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...

    For pure feel, which wrap is best between Wild Stallion, Bison, Spanish Bull or Shrunken Goat?

    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...

    Fold marks

    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! 😉

    Need Jump AND break cue, would prefer to get both in one cue, suggestions?

    I have been down this road, I had a professional dedicated jump cue made in Finland that was spectacular, but I opted for a stick that does both, break and jump. What I found myself doing because of having an extra stick in the bag, when a jump situation came along I had a tendency not to get it...

    Need Jump AND break cue, would prefer to get both in one cue, suggestions?

    I just purchased a break/jump cue about a month ago, made by Raven Billiards. I really like both aspects of the cue, a great brake cue, and a fabulous jump cue. Hits like a hammer, and jumps very easily. It is a great buy for a very good j/b cue. Here is a link...

    What type of radial pin?

    I can say for sure that they work when you drop a cue on the ground. This happened to me, I forgot to close my cue case and both halves of this particular clue fell on the cement and permanently damaged it. It ruined the shaft, and also misaligned the male pin of the butt end. I know for a fact...

    What type of radial pin?

    The only thing I have against radial joints like I have is not being that quick to assemble/disassemble.

    Six Pointed Star

    The Terminator breaks this drill down in four separate drills, culminated with the six point star. To me these are some of the best practice drills out there.
