I agree
I agree that it is too often used as a first resort. I almost always kick, kicking is a lot more controllable in my humble opinion. I will jump on occasion and I don't like the idea of limiting jump cues from tournaments, but hey maybe that's because I suck at full cue jumping, though I can jump a ball from half an inch with a shaft and accurately.

I know it's now part of the game, just doesn't make sense that it almost always is the first shot selection when hooked. (The better players know better and are selective)
