Did you chalk the tip? You can use a Tip Pik (the little brass tube with pins in it) to give it some texture so it will hold chalk better.

yes i chalk that cue on every shot.
i just did that , it feels better . so i will try it tomorrow. thanks
 
Spin the shaft in a lathe and cut a series of circular grooves, much like a bullseye, with the tip of a utility razor. Then it'll hold as much chalk as you'd like.:wink:

My brand new patented material is the answer to your problem. This new canvas phenolic holds chalk like a hard water buffalo tip. It will grab the cue ball when chalked. There are many phenolic tips out there right now that do not hold chalk a 1/4 of what my new material does. It is much better than my old canvas phenolic for holding chalk. Materials like G10 and linen based phenolic are not at all close to holding chalk well enough for some close jump shots. This new material comes on all my Imports and Custom Break Jumps. It is exclusive to new Gulyassy products right now. And best of all, I unconditionally guarantee it for life with not only a free replacement but free return shipping in case of any problems.
 
A friend of mine and myself were the first ones ever to use a phenolic tip on a jump and break cue...
You don`t have to do anything but chalk it if you like...When you jump a ball you shoulad have a proper angle, and that is aiming through 50% or half of the cue ball...

The breaking part of the answer is that you should make sure you hit with center ball...The phenolic tip works best with center ball...do not use anything but chalk...

Now I know there will be a lot of people "jumping " all over me that ...I we were the first ones to use it...There is all kind of proof,like for one a patent... It was a jump rod made of metal...And if anyone doubts me, ask Allen Hopkins who is a good friend of mine...

Good thread,I was wondering the same thing today.I used my tip-pic on it for the first time.Never miscued with it yet but it was not holding chalk.Kind of funny because the way it looks I figured to miscue alot.

What kind of phenolic did you use back then? I remember your cue and my invention the ferrule/tip scored a bullseye with canvas phenolic, the best chalking material in the phenolic family. Now, being that the canvas phenolic has canvas incorporated into the resin it will fuzz up and hold chalk very well and some 60 grit sand paper will make it rough up very nicely. The new material that I have patented will fuzz up even more because of it's construction process. When I cut it down to size it looks like cotton is sticking out the sides.
 
First I clean the old chalk off,then use 40 grit sandpaper and start from the top of the tip with a downward stroke in one direction not back and forth.If you want it to hold chalk good it needs to have some roughness to it.If you sand it back and forth it will work but not be as rough.You should see that it will hold chalk as good as your playing cue after you do this.After a few sessions of playing you will want to do it again due to constant breaking and jumping the grooves cut by the sandpaper will wear down.
That`s how I do it but There are other ways that work too.Hope this helps you.
