Edit!
I struggle on longer jumps and I tend to put English on the ball. Ignore what that comment in previous post said!

Jump Cues - Which is the Best?
- Thread starter Monkey-Boy
- Start date
for short jumps I like my old lucasi jump stick. Have replaced the ferrule/tip with a once piece I got from MasonH, but it worked just fine before that.
Can jump, depending on cloth and cue ball, about 2 to 3 chalk widths apart pretty easily. Any closer than that and I'll kick the ball because its a higher percentage for me.
Longer jumps I use a j/j jump break, and jump with the full cue. Its easier to control. My j/j has been lightened up a good bit. Best jump cue I've owned was a varney j/b cue in all honesty, was a really light cue. Was under 17 oz and I could jump full cue, or with just the jump handle with ease. Broke great too. I had another one of his, and hated it, but it was heavier.

Gulyassy all the way. Gulyassy is the BEST jump cue.
It's an awfully ambiguous questions. Sort of like asking, "what's the best playing cue." You'll get a million answers.
Still, I never knew so many makers had jump cues. I could probably play for ten years and never need a jump cue.
