Question about J/B cues and jump cues

[wambamcam]

Just wanted to get some opinions from players on the advantage of buying a separate jump cue or if a J/B cue is suffice. I know of players who own a J/B cue and separate it for jumping, and others who have a separate break and separate jump cue.

What are the advantages of either situation? IMO it does seem nice to have a cue that can do both (also takes up less space in a cue case).

Thanks in advance for the replies.

IMHO a Break Cue is designed for Breaking and a Jump Cue is Designed for Jumping. Combination work well, but not as good as individual specality Cues IMHO. Andy Gilbert makes a GREAT J/B Combo Cue!

Been there done that. I think a dedicated break cue and a dedicated jump cue is the better way to go, however I prefer to carry around a jump/break because it is more convenient.

i actually posted a similar thread 2 weeks back and the reaction was pretty mixed. the summary i got was that specialised cue was the way to go if you want the absolute best for either action. but JB cues are great as well and it depends primarily on how often you jump. i' not a big jumper so i ended up buying a samsara jb and it's should be at my door step over the next few days.
You might wanna check out my thread if you don't get enough replies here, there's quite some detailed replies there.
