Steve and I have been talking about a new design for his jump cues. I asked him to build me a jump cue and he did. After I got it I decided that I wanted a very CUSTOM jump-butt. Steve, said "no problem".

Below are some photos of the only jump-butt design I know of. If some others have built a Long-Neck jump-butt, I just haven't seen one.

It is designed PRIMARILY for long distance jump shots where precision is at a premium. I just got it recently and haven't had a chance to practice much with it but I let a couple of others guys who really play pool take a couple of swings with it and they wanted to know where I got something like that immediately. There were a lot of WOWS being acknowledged. We'll see in the days ahead if I can be more accurate with it. Right now, I'm saying YES. I know one thing for sure and that is there is NO jump cue I have ever used that can get over balls so easily.

The Jump handle is the regular size of a break cue but the neck narrows down kind of like a beer bottle fitting perfectly with the shaft collar, hence the "Long-Neck" name.

The next one shows the smaller jump butt for dart jumping and shorter jumps.

You can contact Steve Lomax at the Derby City Classic right now or get with him when he returns home if you are interested in a Long Neck Jump Butt.

You might want to wait until you see me before buying one to test mine out. :grin: (It's the first of it's kind).
 
Not a bad twist on his design. The pinch should allow the cue to flip/pivot nicely using the dart stroke. Will have to try it out if I cross paths with you.

I have a custom from Billy Gibbs that has the long neck and several other mods that make me prefer it to the Lomax.

Lomax does make a great jumper tho I think he sold out of them in 2 days up at the open.
