Here's Specs on three of the more popular jump cues on the market.

from thread: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=78154

The Predator Air is a patented three piece design. It has a phenolic tip with a backing pad and a short phenolic linen ferrule. The similarity to other jump cues stops right there. The ferrule is 13.75mm with a thick tapered shaft. The shaft and center section look to be made from an 1/8th inch thick hollow composite shell, possibly graphite, with a cored wood insert. The back butt is solid wood. I'll explain why that matters in a moment. The front shaft is connected to the center section with a very short radial pin. The back butt section is connected with a standard uni-loc. The finish is a flat black and very nicely done. The cue looks great with the Predator graphics.

The shaft only weighs 2.9 ounces, the center section 2.6 ounces, and the butt 3.5 ounces. Add them up to a total cue of 9 ounces. The shaft is 29 1/4". With the middle section only, the cue is a total of 40 1/4", and with the butt, the full length cue is 47 1/2".

PS. A leather tip is an option for these cues. There is no way I would recommend a leather tip on a jump cue.

i have a jacoby with a white diamond tip, works really well with a pendulum stroke. picks the ball up like you wouldnt belive. i also just picked up a jester. dont like it so much with a pendalum stroke, i do better with my jacoby. but dart stroking it, it picks the ball up unreal. both run $100 ish. jacoby i picked up from nielsens billiards @ stores.ebay.com/Nielsens-Billiards and the jester i picked up from www.jestercues.com.

alittle stats on both:
jacoby:
- 2 pc
- 41"
- 6.9 oz
- 13mm tip
- brass ferrule
- comes standard with phonelic tip
- metal screw into wood
- not sure what kinda taper it has.

jester, this thing is goofy, :
- 3 pc
- 30" shaft
- front handle 10", plus screw
- rear handle 10", plus screw
- 11.7mm tip
- 1 piece looks like canvis resin tip/ferrule combo
- shaft and front handle together 4.7 oz
- full cue 6.7 oz
- has about an 18"-19" pro taper
- the shaft looks to be hard rock maple
- the handles seem to be some sort of synthetic meterial
- both joints are aluminum inserted with aluminum quick release screws

anouther note on the jester jumper that isnt mentioned anywhere, it is a nick varner cue, though jester cue states he makes them? i don't know.

i like a 13.25-13.5mm shaft with a stiff parabolic taper and 29" long and a big pin for the connecting pin and an 11" jump handle light but strong.the 3 section style is goob fro added accuracy,but i play on bar tables and end up never using the long piece.i like them to weigh 7-9oz and i also need phenolic or G-10 to jump effectively.
