Hey guys i've been reading some of the posts about break cues and i've decided NOT to buy a Predator no matter what. So, I've narrowed it down to a Mezz or some sort of Guylassy. For under $400 which do y'all recommend and what's the difference between an Anvil and let's say a Orange Crush besides the price? Now, if any y'all can recommend something other than the ones mentioned, by all means do so. Thanks!
One more break cue thread: Mezz vs. Guylassy

I wouldn't buy a predator cue or shaft, or take it even if it was free. Are you looking strickly break cue or jump break.

Have you looked at the Mezz Power Break II. It can break down into a jump cue. It is short. Shorter than any other break cue I have seen. I guess this helps generate more speed. My buddy who is 6'5" doesn't like it but just about everyone else like it.
break
Mezz Power break II hits like a ton of bricks! You have to get use to it though because its shorter, kinda throws ya off at first. I also break with a Lomax Break cue, I kinda go back and forth, I dont know , if my Lomax dont hit just as hard as the Mezz, or sometimes I think it hits harder. Those are my 2 suggestions. I have a Predator breaker and a OB Breaker and they dont compare at all.

I bought Samara jump/break that has the additional jump handle...and it is awesome! Not to mention a beauty! The weight distribution makes it feel like a feather. The weight is actually 18.2 oz. Superior cues is running a heck of a deal on them also.

I just bought a BW break jump. Its the house brand for billiards warehouse. cost me $149 new with 2 shafts leather tip on 1 and phenolic on the other. I love it. Good fit and finish, great feel, very good shaft wood. Breaks as good as anything, and jumps better than anything. I love it.

Check out the sale on www.babysproshop.com coming soon on my Grim Reapers, Anvils and Xtreme shafts. There are only 2 Orange Crushers left through my web site. My FT2 ferrule (unbreakable) and Samsara tip will meet your needs in a break jump and with the sale you will be stealing.
sale on extreme shafts? i have been thinking about getting that earl shaft for my anvil.

Isn't that a playing shaft?
No, I already have a great jump cue. I just want a good break cue. I take my break seriously and I want a cue to handle it. The Orange crush sounds promising but I hate and absolutely hate the color. Sorry! Guylassy, what were you talking about when you mentioned the unbreakable and so on and your sale?
Find a 2nd or 1st generation Xbreaker
I would like too but where would I find one? It's kinda hard to find one
I don't think I can handle the color of the Orange Crusher-so, I think I'll be deciding between the Mezz or the Anvil or possibly an X-breaker if I come across one.
My anvil seems to have the same pop as a BK2, i never tried a mezz so i cant help you there. The orange crush is more of a production cue where as the anvil is more custom cue.
