I have one. I haven't really tried many of the other break cues but this one has improved my break quite a bit. I like the handle a lot,the foam handle really lets you get a good grip and it absorbs most of the shock no matter how hard I strike the cue ball. The bakelite tip holds chalk pretty well too for more control during my break. One of the better players in our league used to swear by his Predators but he liked my Lucasi so much he went and bought one of his own and retired his BK2. I bought mine used but if I were in the market for a new breaker I'd buy another one,I like it.
