Can you jump in 14.1

I have that accustat tape .. it is straight pool :) Side pocket shot if I'm not mistaken and recall correctly. Main Event perhaps playing Leski?

Ok after reading all of this .
I was told yes" you can jump in 14.1 but it has to be with the cue your playing with.
But the man that told me this all he plays is 14.1 and he stated all good plays never have to jump .

Speaking for myself, I feel that if somebody breaks Mosconi's high run record having used a jump cue even once, the run should not go into the record books. If you butcher the shape to the point that you have no shot with your regular playing cue, you return to the chair. That's the way it always was and the way it ought to be.

For the record, as Schmidt's jump in the quarterfinal against Harriman was executed with a full cue, it was fine by me.

In following your logic, if Schmidt butchered his shape so that he has no shot with his regular playing cue, shouldn't he return to his chair? Why is it fine by you if someone (Schmidt) jumps with a full cue but not fine with you if they jump with a jump cue?

Shouldn't jumping be forbidden in 14.1 as a matter of principle, rather than whether they jump with a jump cue or a regular playing cue?
 
a friend of mine always jump balls in straight pool. i think its funny to see. i said once "mosconi is spinning in his grave right now"

i dont think it should be banned. afterall it is a legal shot. i play break shots off the back rail and jump the qball into the pack. thats legal. pros play that shot also

the only tour that banned a jump cueand phenolic tips is IPT. and look how that turned out.(unless there is one i dont know of)

jose garcia who high run is 360 some balls( in match play not practice with a set up break shot) he never jumps and prob wont. i know allen hopkins pretty well and he said he barely jumps ever. only learned bc he had to
