rick howard / mace jump break

I have a Rick Howard MAce / JUMP - Break Cue. It hits awsome. The guy i bought it from had a hard moori tip put on it. I do have a replacement fiber tip to put back on it. I bought a sledge hammer and never go around to it. I was gonna keep it to play Billiards but i never play. PM me if your interested in it. I can email a some pics and discuss price.

i havent tried some of the other cues like mace or the stinger so i have nothing to compare too.......but i use a sledgehammer and like it, i think it breaks well and I jump really well with it. For me it jumps much better than a regular jump cue
 
I have to put my vote in for Gilbert Jump/Breaks! They start somewhere around $350.
 
My Mezz Air Shooter is by far the best jump cue i've tried, its very easy to be very accurate with it.
 
The Stealth jump cue designed by Ned Morris is awesome. For breaking I like a Predator BK with a white diamond tip.

I met Dale while I was in Vegas for the VNEA tourny. Real nice guy with a real unique jump stick. Very, very light. Almost like jumping with a shaft alone.
 
jerico stinger

In my opinion and about a dozen pros jerico makes a damn good break cue but it jumps better than anyt hing I have ever tried.

I would suggest you to try out as many jump/break as possible before you buy. A lot of cues feel wonderful when you first try them, so you need to try many different brands in order to know which is really superior. A Lot of people will tell you their jump or jump/break is awesome because they have never tried anything else or have only tried a few shots with a limited number of brands.

After all, not everyone has the extra money to buy all the brands on the market to try them all out over an extended period of time.

We did that when we invented the X Breaker and it took us about a year. But then we were doing that in order to come up with a superior product.

Also, you should test the consistency of the performance. Say, if you are trying the jump, you should try to jump many times to see how accurate and how consistent your jump is. I like to check how many miscues I get with the jump, how many times I can jump in a row without chalking, and how close I can jump with a certain cue.

Consistency is very important. You do not want to worry about a miscue when you need to jump a ball, make it, and win a game at hill-hill--you want to have 100% confidence in the performance of your cue. Also, you want to know how well a tip can hold chalk. If the tip cannot hold chalk well, then you have to resort to luck on your crucial jump in a game winning situation.

With the break, a lot of people talk about the speed, but you also need control, and a lot of breaking cues only offer control if you break with less than 100% power. You should try to break 100% and see what happen; You also should try to break with spin to see if you will miscue, because you sometimes may need to do that. Finally, when you break 100%, compare the feel and the hit to see which cue gives you the best control and power.

Hope these help.

Before you buy anything, check out the new jump/break cue that FURY has out. There are a lot of players in this area that are using it and swar by it.

Also, as mentioned, Jacoby has the best jump cues on the market. Bob swears by it and uses it faithfully.
 
I have two suggestions. One is a Ted Harris jump break. Not cheap but really good. The other I really like is used by Mike Davis and it is a Lambros Jump/Break. Both make jam up stuff. But, pricey and a long wait. If you can find one already made! I would trying buying it off the guy or catch them at a show or tournament and get one.

I am extremely pleased with Chris Hightower's jump/break, and friends who have hit with it agree. Great service as well.
 
I just bought a J&J break jump cue, plain birdseye maple. It has the quick release joints and Phenolic tip and ferrule. Nice looking stick for the money but the hit is worth three times what I payed.

My first break was at a league match and you wouldn't have believed the "Clack" it made. I actually saw heads turn and it didn't hurt when four balls went down.

After the league, people were wanting to try it. I broke a lot of times during the night and there was only two breaks a ball didn't go down.

I have owned and played with probally 10 diferent break cue's and probally 12 jump cues.I realy think that jacoby makes one of the best jump cues with the finger joint. I realy don't like break cues with the big 14mm tip and phenolic tips.I think there uncomfortable and the tips are a more pain in the ass then there worth. If I use a break cue I want it stiff, but not to stiff only if I break from the front of a 9 ball rack .If I break from the side I want a shaft with a little more flex because it helps keep the ball from jumping off the table. just my opinion do what ever works for you is what i say.
 
OMEN OMEN OMEN.... Thats all I have to say! Im not very good at jumping either way but IMHO Pete Ohman's cue was a god send for me. Its got an extended jump section which I think helps me out. I would recommend this cue to anyone.
