J&J Break/Jump w/ regular tip

[hang-the-9]

I won a J&J break/jump cue over the weekend in a raffle at a holiday party for my league.
Party was free, had a nice doubles tournament with 32 teams and I got a $60 cue to boot

Great looking cue! Nice even finish, feels solid when together, wood looks nice.
Mine had a leather tip on it with a small (1/4 inch maybe) ferrule rather than the phenolic tips I see on the ebay J&J cues.

Broke with it a few times, my son used it also to break and did a few jumps, all worked as it should. Shaft was thick but felt nice, balance is good and the leather tip has a much better feel than a phenolic but looks to be just as effective for breaking and jumping.

My son has a J&J also, but butterfly points and a phenolic tip and his is about an ounce heavier, I like my leather tip a lot more, and also like the sharp points and wood on mine. Plus the lighter weight give it a more even balance on mine.

I can see why these are what everyone recommends for a low cost break/jump cue, but I think the leather tip models are better, although I don't see any on ebay right now.

I have a Kaiser ( rebranded J&J) J/B with the phenolic tip and it breaks a ton and jumps pretty sporty for me. I am seriously considering having the ferrel and tip replaced and going with a kaumui hard , Which i can still jump with . I think with a tip and ferrel change this lil cue will actually play ok in its own right. I have had it about 3 years and never a complaint

I have recently decided to go a dedicated breaker and a jump cue , went with Peachaur breaker and Peachaur Jump cue , I have not gotten to try them yet as i work overseas , but will be posting a review as soon as i had some time with them when i get home in Febuary

I can tell you if they dont perform they will be sold and i will always have my Little jewal of a Kaiser to fall back on best 60 dollars i have spent in my years of playing pool
