Jump break four pieces

I think new Tiger Icebreaker is a very interesting cue, a very good idea.
For who don't know it: http://www.tigerproducts.com/store/product.php?productid=16310&cat=260&page=1 .
But sincerly, aesthetically speaking, I don't like it...
Do you know if are there other productors or cue maker that make similar jump/break?

Thanx

I have talked to a few who have tried it and have heard all positive comments on how well it performs . I would like to give on a try myself but have not had the chance yet . As for the looks of the cue im with you I don't care much for it aesthetically speaking either .

Happy Holidays !

If you guys want a real good price on one of these Tiger jump/break cues, give me a pm!
 
Wow, that's the most expensive non-custom made jump/break cue I've even seen. It's ugly, too. I have no idea about the quality of the stick which of course is the most important thing.

If money is no object, I would buy a separate break cue and jump cue. I'm very skeptical about the quality of jump/break cues, even though there probablly are some really good ones on the market. I had a McDermott jump break cue a few years ago and it didn't jump or break particularly well. I prefer to have 1 stick just for breaking and 1 just for jumping. I think you definitely get better quality that way.

For breaking, I would recommend the Predator BK/2 break cue. Although it's not made for jumping, it also effectively doubles as a full length jump cue in match play where jump cues are not allowed. I love mine.

For jumping, the predator air looks like a terrific jump cue. I haven't tried it out, but do plan on buying 1 pretty soon.

tiger icebreaker

i bought one about 3 months ago ..i like it alot. it breaks like a hamer with little force dont have to try to kill it.. i just sent it back to tiger it started to get a rattle in it tony wanted to look it over himself to see if it is a desighn flaw. that shows me hes intrest in quality of work. hes now also building a shaft for my girls gulassy sledgehammer she liked the hit but loves her sledgehammer bottom.. it might not look great but break cues to me dont need to ur playin cues are the ones with inlays and exotic wood so why does ur break cue have to look good

If I spend that money for a cue, I don't need a shining cue... but with that writing look like a toy for child.

No offense taken whatsoever. We are trying to fill the needs of the players. At the same time IceBreaker does need to be indentifyable if we are going to have any chance at keeping them in the marketplace.

Thusfar, the IceBreaker Jump/Break cue has been highly successful. A little too much for our capability. We have been backordered on them for about 2 months. More to come in the next couple weeks.

With regard to the price, the cues are made in the USA at American labor rates, at the same time, our dealers/distributors need to make a profit in order to stay in business. Direct from Tiger, you will pay MSRP; however our dealers commonly offer discounts. Contact them for pricing.

The only thing that would make these cues "not custom" is that you can only dictate the weight of cue you want. The cues are made by highly skilled custom cuemaker/manufacturers with 20+ year of experience.

3+ years went into the design and R & D for this cue. It works!

In hindsight, the logo could have been smaller. Also, we may in the future offer other style/designs of the same cue.

Very good thing, I will wait for that moment. I suggest a version without any logo...
Please, if you want, send me a PM when you will sell these new styles.

Bye
