Jumping Cue, which one?

I have a conundrum; I have jumping/breaker cue in one, from Smart Cues. I have already changed the tip once on the cue to a leather hard tip. I could never get the hang of jumping balls on the table, it is however, a nice breaking cue.

I decided this year to invest in a good jumping cue, Predator Air Jump Cue, and thought this would be my ticket. So I received some sound advice on how best to jump balls on the table. It now turns out that in the last couple of weeks I can jump better with the 3 piece cue then the Predator? I’m figuring that the leather tip on the 3 piece hits better then the Predators Phenolic Carbon Fiber Tip; I purposely bought the cue this way as I thought a harder tip was required to propel the cue ball better.

So, I am asking the experts out there what to do…

1. Do I actually go back to my first stick, and sell the Predator?
2. Do I persevere and keep practicing with the Predator until I get the right feel on the new cue?
3. Or, put a leather tip on the Predator (which maybe I should have done that in the first place) and use this cue to accurately jump balls?

I would greatly appreciate some good sound advice from anyone out there that might have some history on jumping cues.

Regards,

Axel

PS, I am casting my net out further and trying this question on the main forum - thanks
 
as mentioned in commentary

The Lomax jump cue is being used by a long list of top players.
 
Quit looking and get a "Stinger" j/b from Jerico I promise that real soon you will be able to jump (with a little practice) and the break part is awesome as well It worked for me after trying a bunch of other j/b cues and if it would work for me etc.!!!!
 
Jump Cues

I was not impressed with the Predator Air Cue at all. Sent it back after three days. The Stinger is a great jump cue.
