I'm looking for a new break cue but have never had opportunity to try either one of these. I'm leaning towards the OB because of their reputation of shafts. Anyone who's tried these cues please give me info. Thanks
 
I've actually broken with both and I'm a big OB fan, but if we're talking pure dollars-to-break performance (energy transfer) ratios, I would seriously advise anyone contemplating between those two cues, to add approximately $60 and purchase the Predator BK3 that is now back in stock. Now if I was forced to choose between the Tiger Impact and OB Break, OB gets my nod. The Tiger just doesn't have that extra 'oomph' or added level of cue ball control as the OB does. :)

Level set

Let me level set the advice above, as I should have first. The Tiger break I used was not the J/B version, just the Impact at 19.0oz and I'm unsure of what tip was used, but I can't imagine it NOT being their Icebreaker tip. The OB break was 18.5 oz. with a Samsara tip.

Thank you for your advice. OB seems to have a better shaft then tiger. Tip is not really what I'm worried about cuz I'm going to go with a softer leather tip. Well softer then the Samsara that is but not to soft. I'll be purchasing either a custom jump or like a frog.
