I have one, love it and haven't had anyone that tried it dislike it. I don't use it as a jump cue since I don't know how to jump! The tip is phenolic and the ferrule looks like carbon fiber, I've subjected it to a couple nasty miscues and the tip was unfazed save for a scuff mark, no idea what people are doing to make the tip fail on that cue. Also FWIW I bought a Pechauer break cue after getting this one to have both a Pechauer player and break cue and it currently sits in my case as a backup.
***Forgot to add if you take out the middle piece it makes a pretty wicked short/light break cue as well...
