If the IPT could poll the tournament players
on their equipment, so we could know what
type of cues they will be using, tip size,
and what type of case they have. Not old stuff,
or what they used 2 times, but what they will use
in the tournament.

I think that the Amateur Pool world would find
this to be interesting information.

Also, what is the maximum length for a jump stick as
opposed to be considered a full length cue? Some
break sticks are 54" in length rather than 58". At
what length do they NOT consider it to be a jump cue?
I know some jumpers were 46" long when they first came
out.

Linda Carter

Viking P16, 61"! leather wrap, ebony and ivory, 12.50mm and very skinny butt, 18 oz.

Break stick - Keith Custom Cue. Will also use for jumping and some other shots. Also 12.5 mm, but 18.5 oz.

Talisman case - gorgeous rust and black and enormous (bigger than me. Thank goodness it has 2 straps to wear like a backpack)

Stretch system

Michael Zimmerman

Roger Pettit shaft and Dave Jones butt. 12.5mm, 18 oz. He uses the same one to break and jump.

He uses one of my old Porper 2x4 cases. It is all leather, though, not vinyl. He also uses a lot of chalk on his hands.

The IPT has their own rules and no jump sticks are alowed......
 
I am aware of that ...

I know that. How long does a cue have to be before
they consider it a 'normal' full size cue?
Some Break cues are 54" long, not 58".
If the cutoff is 50", for instance, someone
could pull out a 51" cue and jump with it.
See my point ....

Linda ... Obviously you are smaller physically from your comments (and
your picture - and cute too ... lol), why would you use a cue that is
3" longer than normal? (61" instead of 58").
 
I think it's like the snooker rule no jumps what so ever. if you are safe you cannot jump the ball. Not even with a regular cue.
 
I believe you are wrong ...

Jumps are permitted, but you have to use a full size cue.
 
Hey Scott,

I think to answer the question about the length, you may also want to consider that I heard Efren used a 60" cue as well at one time. I am not exactly sure why. I had one that I regretfully sold as well that played awesome. You could not tell it was 2 inches longer even...perfectly balanced and played very nicely. I prefer a longer cue as a matter of fact, just to reach shots better, maybe this is why??? I have a buddy in a wheelchair that plays with a 63" cue...yes...a 31" butt and a 32" shaft...special order from Viking.

Strange eh?
 
Mali M-1 break/jump cue. 18oz. stainless steel joints, irish linen wrap that comes all the way down into the butt sleeve. triangle 13mm tip, that was never shaped on purpose. my playing cue is a Mali M-14 from the year 1999, the last Mali made in america. hand selected birds eye maple with extra birds eye. a capone jr. custom shaft. 13mm triangle tip shaped between flat and a nickel. phenlonic joints instead of the standard stainless steel. 16.5 oz! 3/8/10 joint pin. 58" cue. 4 cocoobolla points in burnt orange, with black hair streaks, inlaid into an exclusive sheffield gray stained hand selected birds eye maple. i prefer my playing cues either very light, 16.5 oz. or quite meaty, 19.5 oz. i hate the in between weights, such as 18 oz. however, it's more about the balance than the weight, i like a cue that feels the exact same weight from tip to bumper, in other words, either a cue that's meaty from tip to bumper, or very light tip to bumper, with no noticable "spots" of weight here and there. my case is a schmelke, but i decided it's not good, it's coming apart!, i plan on getting another one very soon, most likley an elite. in my case i have an ulti-mate tip-tool in gold, a packet of swisspers (very soft cotton to remove women's make-up) i use that to wipe down my shaft. and perhaps the greatest accesory ever, slipstic, amazing shaft cleaner, also i carry my own master traditional blue chalk in my case, just in case.
 
Lol ....

Guys & Gals ... You misunderstood me. I meant for the IPT
to get that information for all players in the tournament, as
to what Mariisa referred to, What's in the bag?

Not a dissertation, Just basic cues and bag info ... lol
What type of playing cue, tip size, tip type?
What type of breaking cue, tip size, tip type?
What type of jump cue?, tip type? (still like to know even if IPT won't allow)
What type of cue case? size of cue case?

And that is basically it, nothing extravagant.. just the basics ...
