SOLD to FAST N LOOSE. I recently decided to unload many of my extra cues. So, my loss is your gain. Up for sale is a Lightning Bolt break cue. It has a total weight of 12.2 ounces. The shaft weighs 3.8 ounces and the 2 butt sections together weigh 8.4 ounces. It has a 12.5mm G10 epoxy tip. This cue breaks great and jumps AMAZING! May be the best jump cue i have ever tried. I am letting it go for $120 with shipping included. Payment via paypal only. Thanks in advance.

I'M NOT SURE THAT'S WHAT INTRIQUED ME. MY BREAK CUE NOW IS 25 OUNCES, SO I'M GONNA TRY THE OTHER END OF THE WEIGHT SPECTRUM
 
I had one of these cues and i can tell you it is one of the best jump cues i have ever tried. It also broke very well it is light but its not the weight of the cue that makes a good break its the speed of the cue and you can really get this light cue moving !
 
did u have i custom made to 25 oz? and what was the reasoning behind it? i'm wondering because i usually use 19-21oz break cues with 21 being my max for weight (probably cuz i've never tried anything higher than that). i know the logic behind having a lighter break cue is for control of the rock after the break and heavier for more power but why do u use a 25oz? the 12 oz has me curious too cuz i'd just imagine the cue flying out of my hands lol. be sure to let us know how it is when u get it.

YES IT'S CUSTOM. I'VE BEEN CLOCKED ON THE RADAR GUN, AND I GET THE MOST SPEED FROM A HEAVY CUE.

Get your gun out and be ready for a pleasant surprise. The cue ball will travel faster when you use the lighter cue,and 12 oz. is LIGHT! I learned about the light break cue from a discussion with Nick Varner.

I'VE TRIED BREAK CUES DOWN TO 15 OUNCES, AND THE HEAVIER WAS FASTER. I GUESS WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS ONE. I HAVEN'T CLOCKED MY BREAK SINCE I WENT TO THE PHENOLIC TIP. I'M SURE IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING TEST.
 
If anyone else wants to give the Lightning Bolt a shot I've got one that I'll let go of for the same price. Let me know!
 
Break speed is all about acceleration of the cue over the short distance of the stroke.

Need proof, what accelerates faster...a Dodge Viper or a Dodge Ram SRT-10. Both have the same engine, but the Viper accelerates much faster since it is several hundred lbs lighter.

Now apply the same thought to a break cue. The only thing I can say is these are a little difficult to hit accurately until you get used to such a light weight cue. Once you get used to it, get ready for some enormous breaks!!! Enjoy.

Just Wanted To Let Everybody Know, I Got The Cue A Few Days Ago, And That The Transaction Went Smoothly.

I'm Still Up In The Air If I Like The Cue Or Not, But That Has Nothing To Do With It.
