I have tried quite a few custom break cues. Mike Gulyassy, Steve Lomax, Pete Ohman, and Andy Gilbert top my list. Pat Diveney makes really good ones as well. One of the big keys that I have noticed is just a break cue Vs. Jump/Break makes a hell of a difference in how solid they hit. If you want a really really good break cue, just buy a break cue. If you want a strong jumper get a straight jump cue. I am in the process of buying each seperately now and it will be a really good investment in my game.
