What do you guys think of the jacoby jumper and bungee jumper, which one is "better" (easier to jump with) and why?
any response is as always much appreciated.

Jacoby, best between the two. Also check out the new Fury Jump/Break cue.

The Bunjee jump break cue is better than the jacoby and the fury. Now...the best one of all is the X-Pro by Steve Lomax..Great cue. Looks great and plays great.

the bunjee isn't even in the same class with jacoby. the bunjee just doesn't get the ball up quick enough for close jumps.

From my observations
It depends on whether you 'stroke' or 'dart' jump most of the time. All the people with Jacoby's try to dart jump all the time, and some jumps are better to stroke jump, but because Jacoby put the finger grip in it, they think they should only dart jump, and most the time they do NOT make the ball, just hit it. Simple question .... When is the last time you saw an object ball in the middle of the table, with a jump to get to it, and the person 'dart' jumped a ball to make the object ball? With the object ball NOT being close to a Pocket? Part of being a GOOD player is knowing what is right to do for each situation you come across. Bunjee has just come out with a new B/J stick, BTW. My suggestion, try before you buy, and then you will know for sure.

axiom, 22 bucks on ebay, cant beat it
If i had to choose, i would take the Jacoby, i have used one before and it jumps pretty easy. And yes i use the dart technique, only cuz i find it allows me to jump easier and at different lengths and heights too.
now i personally i have a Lucasi jumper and have no problem jumping balls and being able to make balls either.

for what it's worth, yesterday i was practicing with my Fury J/B (up to this point, used solely for breaking), and my friend asked me to do a jump shot. As I never made one before, I figured what the heck. I broke the cue down and tried, using the dart stroke. I was able to jump a full ball, and pocket my shot, and stop the cue ball dead, 9 out of the 10 times I tried it.
