If someone is looking for a jump cue and never had one before are there any suggestions for a beginner with a jump cue? Is one length better to learn with? Is it better to get a dual jump/break as a starter cue? Looking for opinions.

So you are saying a lighter jumper is better to learn with?Get the lightest, dedicated jumper you can find.
Tough to bear the Jacoby at 7oz and about $180…
My $0.02 is that noob vs experienced doesn’t matter on the selection. Yes, as far as I can tell lighter is mostly better, but I think you will find that all the modern dedicated jump cues (as in 47” ish long 3 piece jobs vs full length combo jump/break cues) are all around 10 oz ish, the other main differences are tip, balance, and shaft style. Everyone will have an opinion for you... I’ve tried a bunch, have a few. Like any other cue, very subjective, based on many personal variables - only real way is to play with as many as you can. I just hit with a buddy’s Predator Air 2 - very very nice, and pretty hard to go wrong with IMO.So you are saying a lighter jumper is better to learn with?
I have a Dufferin jump cue, real nice cue, but at 6' tall I feel I would be better served with a jump cue that was 4" longer. It's perfect for dart technique, but when you're away from a rail in a do or die situation it would be nicer to stand flat footed than on tip toes while trying to grip a shaft that is too short. I think a jump cue with a 6" extension would be ideal for most situations, but I'd guess they are big $$$.I personally jump with my player. On those shorter jumps the player doesn’t work well. So thinking about maybe getting a real jumper. the heavy isn’t as good? What length is best for everyone?ive seen some really short ones and longer ones too. Also let’s say I never jumped before. is a heavy or light one going to eff up the table worse? Or both the same?
