mezz break cue
like many of us have, i have tried almost every so called "break" cue to come down the line, custom and production, in the last 20+ years. for whatever reason, the mezz power break II has been a god send for my eightball break. from bar boxes to 9 footers it has improved my eightball break considerably. now comes the really strange and confounding thing to me..... the same cue has actually decreased my break in nineball?????? for the life of me i just dont get why. as for a standard length break cue i really like the results i get with the tiger ice breaker and it jumps darn good too :thumbup:

In 8-ball, I choke up quite a bit for my break. I'm guessing that it could be because by choking up that at the impact point I have my hand much closer to my center of force. Possible that the shorter cue is forcing the breaker to mimic this? Try taking video samples of both and seeing what the difference may be.
For 9-ball, I find that a more smooth, controlled break works much better than the 8-ball slam. It may have something to do with the masses of the racks or the pattern of release from the rack, but trying to slam the 9 rack tends to produce a crappy (or random, at best) break for me.

Shorter break cue
i make mine 5 inches shorter than normal and i have a purple heart shaft on a purple heart and bocote but, they work very well theres some bad pics of one i made for dee adkins in the gallery i believe.
acording to dee it helps control his break and concentrate his power.
