Hello everyone, How is Samsara Break or J/B cue comparing to other production break cue? like BK RUSH or PowerBreak G. What’s the PROs and CONs. Please share bellow.

There are youtube videos about BK RUSH and PowerBreak reviews, but can’t find any video reviews about Samsara break cue.
 
I am also curious about this, I like everything I've tried from Samsara and am interested to hear how the PowerBreak G compares to them, I love my Mezz Kai.
 
Difference is in price, how it looks like.

95% of the break shot is in the player, the cue has very little impact on it past the hit feel, you can adjust that as much with a tip change as anything else.

BK Rush is good, I played with several models, my son uses one. Overall it's my favorite break cue, but I would never buy one for myself. Too much money for too little difference. Between a house cue with a good tip and a $500 break cue there will be not enough difference to matter. With the ability and knowledge of how to rack properly a full blast power break is pretty much dead. Even then I don't know how much speed a break cue will add vs another.

I mean how on earth do you review a break cue past how it feels and the taper the player likes? You hit a straight shot down a line with a setup rack, not much difference in what can happen there that the cue does.

I have an old Samsara JB that I bought used, to replace a players JB.
It breaks fine and jumps much better than the Players, looks nicer too! Has the stock Samsara tip and came with the dart handle.
 
I owned a Samsara jump/break but didn’t keep it very long. Bought it cause my playing cue is a Samsara which I love and I thought I’d try it out. It did everything it was supposed to do well. I got good power and control and it jumped easy. But for me Predator won out. Stuck with my BK2 that had been good to me for years and sold the Samsara J/B. Now I’ve been using the Rush for awhile and it’s the best break cue I’ve ever used. Samsara wasn’t bad at all though and it was a great looking cue just to be a break/jump. But honestly the Samsara didn’t do anything to justify the 600/700 price point other than look very nice. Not saying the Rush is worth 700 but it’s a noticeable performance increase compared to other break cues IMO.

I have a Samsara JB with leather wrap. Performance wise about the same but there's no comparison aesthetically.
