Best Break Cue

[yally]

Jensen (Michael Johnson) J/B cue. Made with Bacote and a Liptis wood Shaft. Crushs the rack and easy to jump. Also, quite rare (he doesn't build many of them) and a nice compliment to my Jensen playing cue. Check my sig below if you want to see pics!

Hello, interested what everyone is using as a break cue...had a gilbert, was a much better player than a breaker, had a MIke Stacey JB I really liked but sold that...what is everyone using right now.

James Spach of Hurricane custom cues makes a good break jump cue. I hear good of Varney Jump Breaks. I'm currently breaking with a custom Wayne Robinson cue. Great break cue.

I've got a Bunjee J/B that's not too bad. Check out the picture because it's unusual to see wood like this in a Bunjee J/B.

Varney

I'm using a Varney right now as well. It hits like a moster. There have been a few reviews on this forum so you can get more info from them. Kevin's great to deal with and makes a very high quality cue. You can't go wrong. Shoot him a PM Varney Cues

I'm using a Kaiser J/B I got off ebay for 60$.


I feel real outclassed right now!

I'm using an all laminated maple jacoby jump break with double titanium radial pin joints. It gets the job done very well.

 

[Varney Cues]

I don't even own one...I sold mine.

Well since my case only holds one cue, I prefer a Wallabushka. Best break cue for the money. You can't beat free.

[Nine Ball]

I look at it a couple of different ways:

9 ball: Pred BK II followed closely by my Mace j/b

8 ball: Mace is better for the controlled break, 2nd ball etc.




I happen to have a Rick Howard Mace break jump with a phenolic ferrule tip combo if anyone is interested. Send me a PM. Cue is now sold...


Thanks,
Josh Hillard

I only break about one out of evry 5 games so I don't worry about a break cue.

 

[1pRoscoe]

The best break cue I have ever used was a Petree J/B, which I will get one some day......

I am currently using an old Sledgehammer with an unknown shaft. I love the way this one breaks them as well, and will not be getting rid of it. I am actually think of sending it to Petree and having him work a little magic on the shaft in the interim...

I was using a falcon jb but recently switched to the j&j jb and like it alot. It breaks alot better than the falcon.

 

[daytonajoe]

I am using a new design by Pat Diveney... It breaks very well and jumps so well I have had to re-learn how much effort it takes for what distance... Highly recommended jump break
