Billiard Warehouse break/jump cue

[berlowmj]

BW claims to have a break/jump cue which is made in China exclusively for them. It is supposed to have 2 shafts, one with a phenolic tip & the other leather (for tournaments where phenolic is prohibited). They claim that it is equivalent to the Sledgehammer, Predator, & x-breaker. I am only interested in function, not status or aesthetics.

Please comment on the accuracy of this claim.

Is my question being boycotted? unclear? appears rhetorical? or what? It is a serious question.

Have never heard anything about it. Sorry

I can only remember reading about one or two people who have bought this and if I remember correctly, they were both pretty happy with it. I don't think you can really go wrong with it for $150 w/ two shafts. I think it's main competitor in this price range is the Fury, and it's just slightly less and only has one shaft. For what it's worth, I've hit with the Fury before and it breaks and jumps very well. I've also tried the other 3 cues you mentioned (X-Breaker, Sledgehammer, and Predator) and would probably purchase the Fury before any of those just for the fact that they didn't really feel that much better to me to justify paying that much more.
