The X-Breaker break cue

[matthew staton]

I just tryed the x-breaker jump/break cue.I thought I would give a review. My good budie Larry Nevel has been in town. I remember the guy on here trying to sell them. I was giving him some crap. Well I talk to larry nevel, a very good pro play and larry did jump a ball with the x-breaker from a credit card of space in between the 2 balls. I saw him do this then Larry let me try out the cue. Man does that thing jump I was jumping balls from 1 ball away with the cue in full not even broke down in the jump section .So all in all the cue jump and breaks very well and is probally the best jump/break cue I have tryed yet.I would say get one they are very good worth the money they blow the stinger and the sledge hammer away. I still don't have one yet but i see one in the future.

Matthew,

Most people were very skeptical before they tried the X Breaker--you are not the only one--but you have the open mind to give the X Breaker a try and for that I would like to thank you.

If you can jump one ball away with the X Breaker without breaking it down, you must have a very good jump stroke. It is not just the cue.

Please tell Larry I really appreciate his taking the time to show the X Breaker to you. I would like to wish him the very best with his tournament and money match winnings.

And last but not least, THANK YOU. It is very encouraging to hear positive feedback about the X Breaker--especially when it is coming from someone who did not really believe in it in the beginning.

I just want to tell you it means a lot to me when someone likes the X Breaker. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Much appreciated.

Best wishes,
Richard

I got my X-Breaker Friday night and have to agree with you, it is the best break/jump cue I have tried. Jumps great too. Glad I bought it. It took a while to get used to the taper on the shaft, but once I did, things fell right into place.

Pretty much makes safety play as effective as a push-out.

WOW...strong statements...always seems to be a better mousetrap...that said, have you tried the three main competitors? The Stinger, The Sledgehammer, The Fury J/B? I've yet to try the X-Breaker, but I own a Stinger and a Fury...The Stinger is a phenomenal cue...with The Fury not to far behind...The Stinger is better all around, (craftsmanship, feel, ease and execution, looks etc). The Fury is the best BANG for the $$$.

Thx for the feedback...

I have tryed all the j/b cues you are talking about and other ones to like a tornado,bungee,omen,lowmax.tornado,mcdermott,viking,gilbert,and many others this x break realy does blow them away. I don't like the stinger it is a fat log it seems to me. The x breaker was very comfortable to break and jump with the first time I hit with it.

u are making me sick. *VERY ANGRY LOOK!!* (points out to his signature)

richard ud better get some more employees to keep up with the demand

 

[TannerPruess]

I have ordered an X Breaker as well. I can't wait untill it is done around November 10th. Pretty fast considering I ordered a few days ago. I will give a review once I get to try it out.

Was the "1mm" jump shot made with the shaft only?

Well I talk to larry nevel, a very good pro play and larry did jump a ball with the x-breaker from a credit card of space in between the 2 balls. I saw him do this then Larry let me try out the cue.

I saw this "1mm" jump shot in a video on the XBreaker web site and was very impressed. However the video only shows the end of the cue and the shot itself. In a photo on the same site it appears the jump shot is being made with the shaft only, which would make it useless in anything except a trick-shot competition.

I am working on it and your cue is right on schedule. Thank you very much.
Please let me know how you like it.

Thank you.

I have made some improvements so we can now build a bit more cues and still keep the same quality. I am sorry about the waiting period. Thank you very much for your patience.
I am hoping that we will not have to put our customers waiting for more than one month in the future.
When I went to the US Open to make a debut in the US for the first time, I knew there would be back orders but I was really thrown off by the amount I was receiving. We are now back on our feet so to speak. We have rearrange our schedule and I hope we can meet the demand more promptly from now on.
Thank you so very much for everyone's support. Much appreciated.

Yes, good question. I did not want to misrepresent the jump Larry made in any way. I have stated that it was done with a shaft on this forum a while ago and I also posted a picture showing the shaft rather than only showing the tip and the balls.

This shot is not really something anyone would go for in a real game I agree (whether with the shaft or the whole jump section). I want to show everyone the possibility with the X Breaker. I also have videos of amateurs breaking and jumping with the X Breaker on my site, it is because I want the viewers to have an accurate idea of what the X Breaker can do in the hands of both professional and amateur players. In a way, they can see the possibility on both ends of the spectrum.

The X Breaker is quite different from other jump/break cues on the market. It does not use a phenolic tip--since the Xtreme tip is harder than any phenolic tip but holds chalk almost the same as a leather tip, most players report that it is easier to jump the real close jumps, and more accurate and controllable in the long jumps(with the Xtreme tip, the player does not need a high elevation to jump.) Since it is a new product, I need to show the players what it is capable of and why it is better than the old technology.

I am not sure if Larry could do it with the whole jump section, he never actually tried that while we were there.

Vincent Facquet from France was consistently jumping one chalk away with the whole jump section of the X Breaker. Unfortunately, I did not have the video camera with me when he did that. Hopefully, I can post that video in the near future when I see him again. Vincent is a two time World Trick Shot Champion and runner up in the World Pool Master. He is one of the players using the X Breaker now.

I will post more jump/break videos next week. I am going to attend the WPBA National and I will take some videos of Jennifer Chen breaking and jumping with the X Breaker.

I will also try to post some pictures and updates of the WPBA National Championship if I can have Internet access in the hotel. Please visit my site again next week. I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my site and post links here.

I am glad you like the videos.

Thank you very much.

I havent seen one person who bought it complain about the price only people who don't buy it.

There is no buyers remorse with this cue. It's a better mousetrap. Get yourself one now. With demand obviously outpacing supply, they may even go up in price IMHO.

You can ask the same set of questions for any cue, and a similar set for just about anything money can buy.

In other words, your questions are rather pointless. Obviously a ton of people think they're well worth the $$$.

If u ask u'll never know .

Everyone has 2cents to put in. but never realy have change to give .

Talkin jus to hear yourself Breath..

It was a question .if it's hard to answer ,plz let someone else do it ..
thanxs...

 

[Snapshot9]

My .02 cents

If you don't know why, then either you have not played
long enough, or at a high enough level.

1) The break is EXTREMELY important, especially in
higher level play because a good break can mean the
difference between losing or winning especially if you
are playing someone that will run out with 1 trip to the
table ...

2) A good jump cue is important BECAUSE 1 good safety
by your opponent where you might give up 'ball in hand'
will mean he will run the rack out and win the game, and
possibly the match. Now, imagine that safety, and you
take out your jump cue (the XBreaker jump part), and shoot
a jumper and make the ball, and run out to win the game.

Now, imagine you are hill-to-hill with your opponent, and go
back and read 1 and 2 again.

Again, imagine playing a $1,000 set with your opponent and
go back and read 1 and 2 again.

Now you know why.

Although the Xbreaker may play okay, it will probably not be
quite as responsive overall to english as your normal playing
cue is. (test - shoot fairly straight in long shot, and draw cue
back 1-2" from where object ball was orignally, another is shoot
same shot, and follow only 1-2" with cue ball)
