Jump Cues

I bought 2 of those Dave. Lil Monster and an OK Healing model. The Healing is the one that makes jumping effortless for me. I'm tall so it fits my physique well.
The tip on this one is bakelite, I believe. Hard sob.
I wouldn't change mine. I like the hit. No power necessary from me. I just let the shaft and tip do the work. I was surprised at how well balanced and matched the components were.
The lil monster is an ok jumper, but the tip makes an awful sound and I've thot about changing it to a bulletproof. I'll let you know how that works out.
Wish I had more info for you.
Guys proficient in jumping around here are few and far between. Many have jump cues- with cobwebs on them.

You are persuasive. A couple of reddit reviews have suggested the OKHealing is either just as good as a Propel or good enough that it seems hard to justify the additional $400 for a small benefit.

I don't see any reason to spend the extra coin. But I'm not an elitist who's friends will poke fun or look down bcuz of my choice. That stuff doesn't bother me.
None of them can beat me anyway. 😉

Basically, I only compete in one pocket. I am considering the prospect of dusting off my 9-ball game. These days, I think rotation players have to be proficient with a jump cue. Accordingly, I am considering an investment in a decent jump cue. I am interested in your recommendations on jump cues if you have them.

I am particularly interested in any insight on a comparison between the JFlowers JMPR and the CueTec Propel. Most things I have found so far, suggest the cues are comparable, but the Flowers cue is a bit cheaper.

Thank you in advance.

I use the gray/grey Cuetec Surge Jump cue. I had the stock tip changed to a Horo White Storm. Couldn't be happier.

I was thinking about getting this cheap Chinese deal, and switching the tip to the Horo White Storm or a Samsara...if my team of hound dogs and Indian scouts can track down someone to install tips.

I can tell you that I rarely play anymore, and that jumping was never my strong suit. This thing makes jumping much easier. In my case, it's definitely the arrow, not the Indian.

I bit the bullet and got the OKHealing. I'd been attempting to jump with what I've come to understand is a fake little monster I got off of TEMU before I knew about getting things off of TEMU.
Looking forward to trying to get better at jumping...

I sent mine to Bob Dzuricky.
 
I have a Horo Perfect Storm tip on my Y2-J jump cue and think its even better than the White Storm.
