Jacoby vs pechauer jump cue

[marek]

I suppose a hardwood is better, so I should've added that. But I don't think it's as important as weight and tip hardness. I mean, I can jump with a poplar dowel rod from Lowe's. Poplar is a hardwood, but considered soft among other hardwoods. If the wood is too solid, too dense, then it weighs more, which is counterproductive for jumping, unless it's constructed in a manner to decrease weight, like hollowing out.

I have custom Peter Ernst purpleheart wood jumper (purpleheart being one of the hardest and heaviest woods in the world) and yes,it is quite heavy for a jumper yet it gives pechauer jump cue or predator air 2 orange crush. It isnt even remotely close such comparison.:grin: I consider myself rather bad at jumping but i can jump ball and a half with my purpleheart jumper using pendulum stroke which would be only pipe dream for me if i were to use pechauer/air2. Trust me, the material of the jumper really MATTERS:grin::grin::grin:

It may just feel heavy due to the balance, but it's probably around 9oz or 10oz, which is the typical weight of a good jump cue. To jump balls that are very close, like a chalk distance away, the lighter the better. It allows the stick to bounce away from the cb before the cb begins to bounce up. A heavier cue can't get out of the cb's way fast enough, and it ends up interfering with the cb. From a a couple of feet or a foot away, a heavier jump cue will work fine, but up close a lighter one works much better. I proved this with a dowel rod, no tip, and jumped a full ball from a chalk distance. Then I used the shaft of my jump cue and jumped full ball from about 1/2 an inch.

I bet that purple heart cue is beautiful. It's a good looking wood grain.

You already have one of the best jump cues with the stinger. I bought my friend's stinger and he begged me to take it back for jumping. That stinger was the full set with a playing shaft and the jump handle. You should ask McDermott if they sell the jump handle.

They do and ive tried it, but im not a fan of it. I'd rather have a jumper with that bell on the end, felt a bit more natural in my hand.

It boils down to what you're willing to spend for the look or name recognition of the cue, or what feels good to you. As long it has a hard tip and weighs anywhere between 5 and 9 oz it's gonna jump the cue ball just fine with ease.

Here's a video of my $2 special from lowes. It only weighs 3oz, which is too light because you need more speed to move the cue ball. But at close range it's fine, lighter is better. On longer jumps a little more weight is needed to get the cue ball moving. I've found that 9oz is good for most jump shots. I'd like to have a jump cue with a removable weight bolt, so it's normally 9 or 10oz but can be 5 or 6oz with the bolt out when needed.
