Anyone ever try a center extension on a jump cue?

Just curious who's tried it? I struggle with a standard length (40-41") jump cue but not at all when I use my buddies 47". So the idea of getting a center extension popped in my head, before selling mine and buying a new one

I have a $70 jump/break cue. If I have a longer distance to jump I use the butt portion and the shaft. The extra weight and length work better when the ball I am jumping is farther away.

Jacoby makes them off the shelf that way.

I have a standard Jacoby jump cue and am thinking to get a mid extension for it actually, not because I have any trouble, but for different shots.

I say go for it. Try it. Why not?

I also have a Jacoby Masse cue.

I am also thinking of trying a mid extension in both the jumper and the masse cue to experiment breaking with them.

Players PureX jump/break 4 piece.
You can find them used easily. I got mine that was in perfect shape for something like 150 with shipping, maybe less.

LOL! An idea that came before it’s time. The bungee jump cue, created by John Barton, had a mid extension to make it longer. I still have one. I’ve had that for well over 15 years., If memory serves.

I've done that too with my cheapo Action J/B cue, but usually on my home table. It has dual quick-release joints. Works fine and I wouldn't hesitate to use that setup anywhere, although I'm still happy with my Jacoby jump cue.
