For those of you who utilize a different cue for Breaking and Jump Shots:

Do you use a Break/Jump Shot Combo cue?
OR
Do you have a separate cue for Breaking and another for Jumping?

Please feel free to post brand & model of cues you're using. THANX! -Z-

I couldn't be happier with my jump break combo cue by Jerry Powers at Jerico custom cues. He was the original inventor of the stinger brand. I have one of the original thumpers before they started calling them stingers. Does it all and I highly recommend his cue. I think McD eventually bought out the patent or use thereof. Not exactly sure though.....
 
I just picked up a player jump break cue last month and couldn't be happier. I always used my Schon to break 9 ball and a house cue to break eight ball. This is my first separate break cue. For $95 bucks this thing performs as well as any other break cue I have tried, and I've tried most of them out there. It jumps the nuts as well! I executed a jump with about three inches of clearance with ease, not bad for a cheapo cue
 
I have a slightly modified j&j break/jump. I sold my jump cue, but I'm going to end up buying it back or a new one. The break/jump works, and I can jump pretty well with the full cue which I like. When I break it down to just use as a jump cue, I don't think it works as good as a dedicated jump cue. For those longer jumps, where using a full cue is easier to control, the break/jump is great.
 
Seperate cues are ideal unless you have a budget or lack of space in your case. A good breaker should jump as little as possible to get the maximum exchange of energy into the rack. A break/jump generally compromises breaking ability to offer an easier jump.
 
WOW!

So far out of 33 responding votes,

40% for the combo cues
60% for separate cues
 
I guess I'm just one of those suckers who falls for the marketing hype. I prefer to break with my BK2 and jump with my Jacoby, but I can also jump almost as well with my BK2, except on close shots. It's all a matter of preference. I have yet to find a Jump/Break combo that I actually like.
