Shooting APA and we are not allowed to use a Jump Stick, so my Jump/Break isn't really needed.
What is a nice Break Stick that you all like to use?
 
I break like a train wreck, so I prefer a solid wood 21 oz cue with a full thread 5/16x18 pin and a conical 13mm hard nickel tip. I'm not a big fan of the phenolic ferrule, but I've busted enough regular ferrules to lean me towards it.
I more dense the wood, the better and if the shaft flexes, I don't use it.
My personal breaker is a $40 Sterling and it's better at making the balls explode than any Break stick I've tried.
 
I use a $40 mcdermott lucky cue that i filled the butt with weight bolts all the way. Replaced the stock tip with a rock hard triangle tip. The cue has not been weighed but it is definitely over 21oz. Smashes racks wide open. I find $100+ break cues to be highly overrated.
 
I have tried a ton of break cues, personal opinion of what is best is any butt with an OB Break shaft on it. Amazing power with still all the control. And I actually prefer a lighter break cue.

The very best break cue I ever had was a Joss player that I used as a break cue for about 15 years...never changed the tip, just let it glaze over and get VERY hard with use. That thing broke like a beast, with awesome control. I ended up giving it to my son as a player (with a new shaft) and went with a $200 J/B. It works okay, but nothing like an old player with a hard tip. If you've got an old playing cue lying around, put a hard tip on it and keep it relatively flat (nickel bevel or less). Break with it for just a few hours, I'll bet you'll be impressed.
