It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
This is the best way to learn a new jump cue. Jump on all shots, even if it's just a straight in. It gets you tuned in real quick.
Carbon Fiber Shafts should be Banned

I play with a 314 shaft. With a water Buffalo tip, and now with this Techno-dud, I can jump decently with my full cue. I can’t hop a whole ball though... at least not yet.
I’ve smoked a few half (or less) ball jumps playing BB 8 ball the past few weeks. Knowing you have that option makes it easier to play for tight window shape and opens some doors.
For some reason I feel like the jump cue should only be used in nine ball. I see that as normal, but if someone pulls one out in 8ball or any other game (1P...can you imagine?
) it just seems so out of place.
My cynergy shaft with a hard tip seems to jump better than the 314 but I don’t like the feel for regular shots. I’m sure there’s a shaft out there somewhere that is perfect for me...I must needs find it before it is too late.
Imagine Neil Robertson being left snookered behind the green. He walks to the table and assesses, he shakes his head, he walks back to his chair and pulls from his case a carbon fiber jump cue. He screws it together, then unscrews a 6” section from the butt. He approaches the table and lines up, jacks his arm way up and powers down onto that miniature cue ball that they use. With a bang the white flies into the air and lands a few feet in front of the reds, bounces a few times, then crashes into them in an uncontrolled and noisy manner. It just doesn’t seem right, almost as if a S assault had occurred in front of the audience.
What am I on about? Idk. I’m just digesting my breakfast and working on a Marlboro red. Coffee in hand

Your post is valid, if you want to become proficient with Cue Bridge, shoot five of six rack with the Bridge to learn proficiency.
BCAPL has a rule book, I understand the reason behind some of rules, question others.
Don’t like their rules? Do do BCAPL EVENTS.
John Hager made great extension for Cues, not made no more. Should it be banned because everyone can not have one? Think
Not!
Well we need be more tolerant, and respect one another. Pool players need work in one direction, not spent time chastising other players.
Friend just got new C/F shan’t from local guy, put the new shaft on Big 5 special 25 buck Cue. Guy is all smiles, and loves new setup.

he would be fouled for causing the cue ball to jump off the surface.I play with a 314 shaft. With a water Buffalo tip, and now with this Techno-dud, I can jump decently with my full cue. I can’t hop a whole ball though... at least not yet.

WTF does any of that have to do with the post you quoted? You call people "asshat" several times a day. Please explain. Educate me with your wisdom.Calling name is your stock and trade. You pretend to have knowledge of Pool in Arizona.
Have you lived in Valley of Sun almost 25 years think not.
So you can not speak from personal experience. About thing you never expirrenced?
Your listing to people who might know, or might not know.
I never comment about what I call East Side of Valley as one place over there I have actual been in were Main Street,or Kolby’s years ago. Sure both places are different today, can’t say why but 7 - 10 places change.
Take a chill pill.
Be respectful, and you might get answer. Be like your are you get zero info.
Your newbee in Valley of Sun.
LOLOL. What info do you have to actually offer anyone here? Even if you did say anything even remotely valuable, I would need to hire 4 translators and a 2nd grade teacher to help me decipher it.
Just because you’ve lived here longer than me doesn’t mean you know more about the pool scene than I do. Stop living in the past. You cry all the time about all the old bars and pool rooms that have closed, why don’t you actually get off your butt and go support some of the pool rooms that are still open? Is it because they mostly have Diamond tables which you think are
? And if you want people to be respectful, try showing a little respect yourself.
Be careful what you ask for.

I am not living it past I am just trying to educate a Johnny Come Lately about Valley of Sun Pool History. Do you get history is the reason we are where we are today?
I do not like Diamond Tables, because they do not Bank or Play like my favorites, Gold Crowns, and Valleys. My right to have a preference like Popeye's Chicken over KFC. GTW that Chicken.
Pool Rooms, or Bars with Pool tables open today are not my favorite charity. You support then if you love em. I like USVets, and MANA House they are my favorite charities.
Very informative. Thanks!
If you want to ban something ..... ban barbox 9 ball and jump cues.
On top of that, set an industry standard for table and pocket size, cloth etc.... but, let people play with whatever cue they choose to as long as it doesn't break current weight and length rules.
IMO, pretty much any game is OK if played on big tables.
8 ball is about the only game I consider good for a barbox, due to congestion.
Anyone that knows me knows that I despise a barbox and jump cues.
Listening to me talk one would think I could play a little.... lol .... but truth be told I can't run 3 balls with bih.
I just enjoy watching good pool on big tables.
It never hurts to wish things were perfect.
keep a slop game?
get rid of chess for checkers ? lol
Slate? Cloth, sure... but tis gonna take more then a cueball and jump cue to dent the slate.
