Alright, is the following scenario possible.
If I have the Predator 3K1 + the 314 Shaft, and a Predator Break Cue. Now, if I wanted a jump cue, can I just get a jump shaft and put it on the 314? Or would I need an entire cue for that or ?

Since I would have the 3K1 with the 314 Shaft
Predator Break Cue with its 314 Shaft
Then can I use either one (3K1 or the Break Cue Butt *I think*) along with a jump shaft/cue?

Thanks
 
Hmn, how can you get a jump shaft for the BK1 when the butt does not cut down?
NOw, you might be able to get a jump HANDLE to go with your BK1 if that shaft can handle the stress of jumping.
Predator's ferrules are so sooooooft.
 
Wait, I think I meant having a jump butt and using... ahh never mind... I'm guessing that would mean I need to get a shaft and cue specifically for jumping?
 
Thanks for the reply. I'll just get a lucasi jump cue instead then. :)
 
Hay u can jump with a pred'If you can find a jump handle to fit the shaft that is all you need.and it 's all up in the air from there.
good luck.
P.S U can break with any cue it won't kill it. JUST your tip... ;-0
 
Predators do not make good jump cues, precisely for the fact that they provide lower deflection. For a jump cue, you want a ferrule/tip that would force the cue ball airborne, not glance off the side.

Fearless: your budget seems to be quite flexible! lol!
 
Here is a tip about jump cues. You will find that you jump better with a thin tip. I have a few frog jump cues and when I get new shafts, the first thing I do is bring them to the guy who does my tip work and have him put on a hard tip and cut it down so it is thin.

Therefore, in answer to the original question, I wouldn't just switch the shaft from a long butt to a shorter and lighter butt. I would get a separate shaft and have the tip cut down.

The worst shaft to jump with is the preditor, it does not jump worth a flip so your idea is not a good one. For a jump cue to work well it needs to be around 7 oz. The stealth jump cue is a good one and priced right. :D
 
Well I got myself a Lucasi Jump Cue.

Hehe, I don't really have a flexible budget. Just got my check from my financial aid and thus decided its time for a new cue and decided to get a jump cue as well.

*My tutition's been paid out so... :)
 
If you want just a jump cue, I would have bought the Bunjee for about $75-$80! Best jump cue on the market in that price range. Only thing better is the Sledgehammer!

i saw Pagulayan jumped with his BK cue when he won the Canadian champion back in 2001...i don't think he had a jump cue back then. So it's possible
 
John Parker of Auerbach Custom Cues makes the best Jump Cue made. They are light, come in several styles, have a hard tip & tuff ferrule... they are really made to do one job & that's jumping the cue ball over obstacles...
 
from many years of talking to players i have found you can take a hard tip and slightly flatten out some and jump with great proficiency and accuracy......any good cue repair person should be able to accomadate you ....good luck in your search....juston coleman

I'm fairly sure a pool playing acquaintance of mine owns a jumping james cue as well & with the few times I used it - I would agree that it is a good jump cue.

Now the big question,

Where does one get a jumping james jump cue?
