I currently shoot with viking butt 314/2 shaft. Break with a cheap brunswick. Jump with bungee. I would love to buy a bk2 but damn there expensive. I wonder if I would be better off getting the poison jump/break. I know that they use predator technology. I wish that there was a deflection rating on poison cues. I know that platinum billiards has a deflection chart but poison is nowhere to be found. If anyone has one what do you think of it? Worth the money? Stinger Jump /Break? Maybe get bk2 altered to jump/break?(I believe seyberts has done this before)
I gotta save up some cash :(
 
I use a Poison Jump break and I love it. Poison uses the predator technology because the line is owned by predator, made by them, just a different name. I don't know the deflection rating but the Venom shaft that comes with the Poison cues is supposed to be the lowest deflecting one-peice shaft because they use 2 woods with different densities.
 
I have a friend who is an excellent player who swears by the poison jb. He tried one, kind of on a lark, and now uses it instead of his Gilbert or Mace. And, at the cost, it is plenty cheap for you to find out. At the worst, you can probably resell it on flea-bay, and lose very little if you hate it. But, if a top-level player plays with that ugly bastard(subjective, just my opinion;) ), it's only cause it works(for them at least).

haha...the blue one isn't THAT bad looking...I own the orange and red one and I admit it is a little overwhelming.

The blue VX model is not a break or jump cue. The orange and red one is. I have them both and the blue one is my playing cue ( this month) until someone buys it
