Poll on Jump Cues, Vote Yes or NO

Nobody hates jump cues more than I do, but there is a middle ground.
What I object to the most is jump cues being used to rescue players from their own position play errors.
A simple way to get rid of this problem is to allow jump cues to be used on the first shot of any trip to the table (including after a push out) but not subsequently. This means that if you hook yourself with poor position play, you can't switch to a three dimensional game unless you can jump with your regular playing cue.
I voted to get rid of jump cues, but if this rule were added, I could live with them.

One like this: comes with a Phenolic tip and Ferrule that provides optimal power and control when jumping. This Jump cue is 41” long and is 9oz.
After I pointed to the last poll on the subject? Really?
Sometimes people get bored. I felt the same way but played along anyways.
Maybe Sammy Jones and Bob Meucci will come up with a buy back program. :thumbup:
Eliminate the "Jones Zone". :thumbup:
I'm not voting because I really don't care. If they are legal, I'll use them. If they are banned, I get a slot back in my case.
I voted to keep them. I just don’t know what problem is being solved or what benefit is being gained by banning them. Fans love them. They always top the highlight reels. And I think people overestimate how much they change the game. It’s still tough to make a ball with them, and if you play a good safety, it can be almost impossible to jump at all.
I sometimes wonder on AZ’s ahem “aging” population how much opinion on stuff like this is just “in the goog old days...” thinking. “Back in the day I’d walk through the snow for 20 miles to play pool without a jump cue or a magic rack.”

I voted no, but just because I'd rather not have to pack so much crap around when I go to play. I'd also be in favor of banning phenolic tips, for the same reason. It'd be nice to leave the house with a small case that holds one butt and two shafts instead of the monstrosity that I pack around now.
