I've been asserting if you take away the trick cue

Curious as to why? And what would constitute a jump shot especially considering the cue ball leaves the surface on every shot.
Well speaking for myself I enjoyed the finals between Shane and Earl more than any match I can remember in a long time and a big reason was the safety battles.
I know jump cues aren't going to be banned because once the game has been dumbed down you can't go back but it was fun to watch those two great players in a classic match.

Dumbed down? Yep, that's exactly what's happened.
It's the same with our public schools. Kids don't do homework, read or know how to do even basic research on the simplest topics.
Dumbed down is very common in the US, unfortunately pool is just one of the examples of "dumbed down".
Dumbed down is one of the biggest resons why 14.1 isn't popular just like AR isn't for the same reasons.
People here want it "now" and they don't want to have to pay for it either.
I wouldn't be suprised if kicking or banking is a foul in pool in general at some point.

Yeah I’d like to see golfers go back to a 9 iron and a putter with wood shafts. That will make the game more challenging.
....I’ll be right back . Their are some kids on my lawn! I need to go yell at them!!
Lot's of shot are "Airborn".
Check out Stan Shuffet on youtube or just put a quarter on the table and shoot firm. Airborn and Jumping are part of the same family imo...
I saw Efren try a jump cue at Hard Times.. someone handed him one
and he tried a jump... stuck his tongue out, laughed and handed it
right back.:thumbup:
Is that what you think the jump cue is doing for pool? :rotflmao1:
:grin:Okay, you've won the internet. What do you want?
The Al Gore "Proper and righteous usage award" of course
Are you saying we wouldn't see "changes at the end of the tournaments" if golfers were all forced to use a 9 iron?
You compare a jump cue to an air cannon? LOL!
.
And not just an air cannon, sir!
You can dial this air cannon in, from 500-10 yards! Just like them jump cues they use on the poolin' table!
Yep, agreed.
An old commentary I heard on a match from 4-5 years ago said "more often than not, the first person to pick up the jump cue will lose the game"
He wasn't wrong too many times. Just saying....
Do away with these specialty jump cues and tournament outcomes would definitely be affected.
There’s been a lot of winners of tournaments that might not have prevailed without the cheat stick.
Make all Cues a minimum length resembling a actual pool cue instead of some Harry Potter like wand.

it was fun seeing Shane jump with his breaker...heck I believe Earl Broke, played, and jumped with the same cue!
You could even make everybody play with a standardized cue. Every one identical.
.
For anyone with a revo or other CF shaft, does it jump well full cue?
I can't go back to my cynergy since I got this wb tip put on my 314, it's so damn sweet it makes the cynergy feel dead in comparison, even with the same tip, but I can't jump well with the 314 and I play a lot of 1p.
The need to jump doesn't come up very often but I got out of a sick break one day with a 1\3 ball jump with the cynergy and it can be a dangerous weapon. I'm willing to experiment to find that perfect combination.

Even at the pro level it seems a jump is more likely a sell out than a "cheat". I love when my opponent pulls out a jump cue, usually means I'm getting back to the table.

Pure genius. Each tournament will have its own unique cue and no-one can practice with it. You show up they hand you a cue and say good luck. Absolutely "even" playing field.
