It was about time I bought a break cue, so I recently acquired a used TNT jump/break cue. It is my first break or jump cue, and I wanted to review it seeing as there are not many reviews of TNT cues.
It has the forearem made of bacote with the handle beign purpleheart. It look great. Being used, it has some nicks but nothing that affects play. The bacote looks great as well as the purpleheart.
The shaft is what really stood out to me. I'm not sure if all TNT break cues comes like this cue did, but the taper at the beginning is fat. It feels conical, its fat at the beginning and gets thinner at the tip. It looks like the tip is 13mm. This makes the taper great. I feel for a break/jump cue the taper that the cuemaker decided on is perfect. Just feels solid.
It came with a phenolic ferrule and samsara tip. The tips really hard, now I know that the hype is true. Great tip for breaking or jumping! You can play with it too!
All in all, this cue is great! It breaks great and jumps just as easily. I've been able to park the cue ball and spread the balls real nice. I even spent some time playing with the cue. I was able to spin the cue ball and control it even with the samsara tip. I would recommend TNT break cues to anybody.
