I personally do not much care for the sledgehammer as far as breaking, jumping the sledgehammer performs well, but I personally would pick a Rick Howard Mace
over them all, I think that Rick makes one hell of a b/j cue, and the thing I like about them is that they play well as a shooting cue as well. I break just as good if not better with my Mace w/Moori hard tip on it than useing a sledgehammer with the tip combo it has on it, and for about the same price you are getting a quality made cue, not a cheap import. only the upper-end sledgehammers are made in house, ALL Mace Cues are made in house.
just my 2c
