Joss Thor Hammer Break Cue Or Viking Crush Break Cue

[gizmo]

I just started playing pool again after not playing for many years. I used to use a Predator bk2 break cue. So I am looking at the Joss Thor Hammer break cue or the Viking Crush break cue. Has anyone here played with both or have any opinions on them?

I use a Viking Crush. It works for me better than anything I have tried. I like the phenolic tip. I believe technique is more important than the break cue you use. No break cue works magic.

The BK2 is still great, if you still have it then just use it.
With the Joss and Viking you are paying for the brand. There are a lot of cheaper options that will be just as good if not better.
If I was in the market for a new break cue, then a low deflection carbon fiber shaft would have been the only option I would consider.

BK2 is still one of the better break cues in the market imo.

Yeah, unfortunately I sold that bk2 many years ago. I have thought about carbon fiber, but I am not sure if I want to go that route. Does carbon fiber glide through your fingers fine or does it require wearing a glove?
