opinions on jump cue

hey, I got a new one for you.
Just two weeks ago, I saw and tried a new jump cue for the very first time. I can't remember the name for sue, I believe it was Ken something or other. Anyway this was the coolest jump cue I have ever tried!
It looks VERY strange. It is made from a standard bar cue blank. It is two sided with a tip on BOTH ends. It has phenolic rod for the tips with one side consisting of about 8 inches or so of phenolic rod ( this side is ideal for jumps where you are very close to the obstructing ball). The other end resembles a more traditional jump cue ( which works well for a longer jump shot. It is a two piece cue with a joint.
Like I said, it looks pretty weird, but it works awesome. It is legal. I am not fantastic at jumping, but I was easily making jumps from close and far about 80% or better with this right away. It felt very secure and effortless. I am going to order one, and can't wait to have some confidence in my jump game. I currently have a bungee jumper, which is just okay, I can never seem to get the tip to hold chalk all that well, and am always in fear of miscuing with it.
If anyone is interested, I will be looking to sell my bungee jumper as I just about never use it abyway. And I will get the name of the maker and contact info.
Pm me if you are interested, I believe the two sided jumpers are going for around $150 or a bit less. I will take an offer for my bungee jumper.
Thanks all.

You can get Raven to make you a jump cue, he has 3 types of general specifications to make the jump cue you want, with different tips as well. The one i got was a MONSTER jump.. best jump i have ever used, cue ball control, distance, height were all not a problem. Mine was an extremely lightweight jump with a green tip, and he cored the butt out to make it to the weight i wanted. price was around $190, well worth it to me.
Otherwise the other 2 i prefer would be mezz airshooter, and 3rd choice would be jacoby's jump.

Ah, Wayne's break jumps are better. They are so easy to jump and break with. Plus the price is affordable. He doesn't want a break jump though. He wants a jump cue. For the price he can't go wrong with one of Wayne's jump cues. Guaranteed you will improve your jumping ability with these. His jump cues are usually made of that epay. I'm sure I spelled that wrong. It's impossible to not be able to jump with these. Or he could make you one with points or how ever you wanted it. Can't go wrong on the price. I say, Why overpay when you can go the affordable way and get just as much cue? If people think spending more on a cue will make you play better then I don't know what to say. heh..
If you are not in a hurry, then keep an eye on eBay for a falcon Jump cue. I personally do not know of them making a specialized jump cue, but we all know they pimp their wares to other companies. Well I caught a Prototype jump cue from them and they did confirm it was theres. All I can say is here sits a dumb a s s that let it go for the money!! I could effortlessly full ball jump from a chalks width away (using the DART method of course). I am trying to get it back, but the buyer is in prison right now and not taking calls, LOL. I don't think I can wait until he gets out. I might not be alive.

Prog.. What your looking for is definitely in one of Wayne's jump cues and break jumps. I can easily jump full cue with his break jumps (NO JOKE) and jump as close as you have stated above with his jump cues. Big Perm bought one of his break jumps. Just ask him.
What is everyone's opinions on the Tadpole and Frog? I have a Lucasi, just wondered if it jumps better than them?
Like i said
He invented the cue and every pro that saw one had to have one. All the rest though less costly are imitations.Now everyone and their brother makes those things but I gotta say they all have Rick Howard to thank.
Thanks Rick and your custom cue is one of the only cues I have that isn't a Scruggs or Cochran cue!!!
I usually don't even break it down to jump with! And it plays lights out much like my Bluegrass!!!

I don't know if he invented the cue actually. And if he did then thats why every pro had to have one. Cause there was no others. lol. I've played with Ricks cues for years. Break jumps and playing cues. They are good cues. But, Wayne's have the edge for the price, breaking, and jumping. You also know I'm close to pro speed in pool. My opinion should count. Just as yours does. I couldn't be happier playing with Waynes cues and using his break jumps. I'd love to have some of the azers compare their breaks and their jumping ability when using one of his break jumps and one of Wayne's break jumps. The truth shall come out then. And in the end..... Wayne's prices are affordable too. Enough said...
