two jumping joints?

a j/b with two jumping joints?

I would like to know if anyone likes a j/b cue with two jumping joints, one located above and one below the handle.
The idea is for the player to use the longer handle for long jump, and the shorter handle for close jump.
Also, the player can use the j/b as a shorter playing cue in a bar, or use that shorter cue as a masse cue.
I know Mike Lambros makes his j/b like that, but it never seems to become popular.
Thank you.

I've got a Bunjee and i've got a extension for it hopefully on its way. I think it will really help my jumping. At the moment it feels like i'm struggling to reach shots that arn't at the edge of the table. Plus being pretty tall sometimes jump cues feel to short!
Eventually when the extension gets here and my jump shaft comes back from the shop i'll let you know how i get on!

What about two jump joints on a jump/break cue?

What about two jump joints on a jump/break cue?

Usually 2 joints and I am asleep, but here is something I have been thinking about....

Read an article about masse cues, and it said that good ones have a lead rod in the back of the handle to bring the weight to 26 oz? or something.

I have always wanted to take a 40" jump cue and have the ability to add about a 6 inch screw on extention with about 28 ounces or so insife it to make a combination jump / masse cue/ Could be the next thing for the game!!

They never heard of dedicated jump cues 5 or 6 years ago !!

If you make it they ( I ) will buy !!

One thing to think of, some people use their playing cue or their break cue for "long jumps" (i do), and a jump cue for short jumps.
Having a second jump joint at the back of the handle will only take away around 4-6" of length, and not a lot of weight.
Are you sure it is worth the extra trouble?

Actually, I am really not sure.

Have any of you tried to jump with an extension and love it a lot?

Sounds like a great idea but there is one question I could think of. Do they use as hard of a tip for Masse as they do for jumps? If it weren't for the tip issue I think you would have a winner.

I have a Rick Howard mace and it uses a hard water buffallo type tip for jumping and breaking.. as does many masse cues

If someone builds this I would try it !!
