Steve Lomax has been after me for quite a long time to try out his line of jump cues and I have declined his generous offer for some time, partially because I always seem to have one or two jump cues that I was satisfied with.
Recently, I had difficulty jumping the heavier bar table cue ball and was in search of another jump cue. After a couple of telephone conversations, Steve sent me one of his unique jump cues. I didn't want a break/jump cue and so he sent me a jump cue to test out.
The jump cue that he sent, matches my POW-MIA Bender playing cue's rings and I have been practicing with it for a few days now.
Buffalo Billiards had a table that is waiting to be covered so I practiced off and one for the past couple of days.
Immediately upon using the Lomax jump cue, I knew that it was capable of jumping far better than my other jump cues, ESPECIALLY heavier cue balls. I always thought that my "light" jump cue was superior for "dart stroking/jumping" and that just isn't so. Steve's jump cue comes in three pieces and I can jump most shots with the traditional method of jumping using just two pieces of the jump cue, leaving off the last part. If I have a super long distance jump shot, I add the third piece and it definitely helps with accuracy on the longer shot.
On shots where the cue ball is close to an impeding object ball, I can use the first two pieces and dart stroke exceptionally well.
Also on medium distance shots, I can use the same first two pieces of the jump cue with incredible accuracy.
There is NO DOUBT that my jumping ability has increased significantly. I no long jump hoping to hit the object ball. Now, I am expecting to make the object ball on EVERY shot. The truth is that I don't make every jump shot but I am so much better at jumping than I formerly was that is is a joke that I waited this long to try out Steve Lomax's signature jump cues.
Eventually, even a hard-head like me will try something new when it is offered to him.
I guess it's better late than never.

I remember two years ago when you tried to get me into one of your jump cues. What a wasted two years.
