Break Jump Cue

So the weight does not matter in your jump & break cue?
Always thought that a heavier cue did a better break jobb.

a few years ago I was using a little heavier, around 19.75 while my players were 18.75 to 19.25. For a little while I tried going to a much lighter break cue and it did not work for me. I've been happy now using about 18.75 with a real stiff taper. Good luck!
 
I think Varner was using a 16.6 oz break cue a few years ago. The theory is that a lighter cue is easier to swing fast.
 
I prefer a lighter J/B. Approximately 1.37 ounces lighter than my playing cue.
 
My playing cues are around 19 oz, guess the breaker should be like 18.5 oz!!!
 
IMO Lighter is Better

IMO a lighter J/B cue is better.....it allows you to hit the ball with more velocity ;)
 
the right weight will be different for everyone. the goal is to get the fastest tip speed and some people can do this with heavier or lighter cues. if you go too heavy, speed will drop, and if you go too light, you won't gain any speed but will be giving up mass. you gotta experiment to find that right weight for you. i think most people do better with a lighter cue, but some people can get the same speed with heavier cues. i like 17-17.5oz myself.
 
And then, I play with an 18 ounce cue and like to break with a 21 ounce cue..maybe that is why my game is all screwed up???:
