What are you using to break?

I have been tinkering around for a while now trying to get my break cue like I want. Now I have been using a customized Predator BK. I had a jump joint put in and I drilled out the BK2 shaft and had it filled with a wood dowel. Added an Aegis ferrule and hard tip and now I like it. I guess it isn't a Predator anymore but it breaks good, jumps good and straight and it fits me good so it looks like I will keep it until it breaks.
Using a Mezz Power Break Pro with Pro-H shaft. I really enjoy the break with it. Guess after using my break cue for some time, I just can't get used to using other break cues.
Fury J/B. european model, wrapless with 14 mm phenolic tip
but i'm gonna change to another model of fury j/b with 13 mm tip and a better grip

I use a Jerry Olivier jump-break cue, it works nice.--Smitty
Custom one off 8 point Nitti break cue. 14mm old growth 30+ ring count shaft. Proprietary synthetic tip.
Couldn't be happier.

I've tried a number of different J/B cues over the years and I've been using a wrapless Omega J/B cue that I bought from Omega Billiards one year at the US Open. I had a Predator BK2 that broke as well or maybe slightly better than my Omega, but it was lacking the jumping ability. So I sold my BK2 to a good friend of mine and I've stuck with my Omega as my main J/B cue. I play a lot of 9 ball and having the ability to jump to get out of some safeties was the deciding factor for me choosing the Omega over my BK2 break cue. The Omega jumps as well as any jump cue that I've tried and it breaks the balls pretty well!

i mostly use an old gulaysy (sp?) sledgehammer i bought back when they first came out. Im not sure exactly what kind of tip/ferrule he used back then, but for some reason i can control the cueball better with it than the harder tipped break cues that came later. That said, i cant jump as good with it as a harder tipped cue, but no biggie. I can also attest to varneys being great break cues as well.
i second that
I have 2 varney break cuers and they are awsome. I just bought a brick jump cue. if his break cue is anything similar i bet it would be awsome.

I picked up a Joss Thor Hammer earlier this summer and I'm loving it. I'm able to control the cue ball much better than my previous break cue.
If I had unlimited funds, I would spring for a Mezz Power Break. My friend has one and it crushes the rack. A little pricey though...

it is a bit different but I like it, best jump cue I ever tried (when you break j/b down)
Same here...mine with the original "black diamond" tip.
