I would like to add another question to this, How does the mezz power break compare to the sledgehammer? I break with a sledgehammer now but because of some conflict with Mike i'm about ready to burn it. So i'm in the market for a new break cue.
my personal opinion is that both cues are equally as powerful even though mezz pb does not have a phenolic tip. I also prefer the feel of the pb and i think it is easier to control the cb with the pb. And the other thing is that the mezz pb is alot more affordable.
Well, that being said, it is really up to personal preference
