Viking Valhalla VAL013, got it free when I bought my V129-BL from Billiards Warehouse. Now, just need to learn how to use it 
What kind of jump cues do you have?

Tried a Stealth a few years back, was okay for me but not great. Then had a Predator Air that I just sold.
Just ordered a Lomax, looking forward to not only the playability but should look great too!

Jump Cue
I have used the inexpensive Cuetec Jump cue for years. It is like a "Point N Shoot". The reason is simple, the shaft is HEAVY (over 5 oz.) and the hollow butt is LIGHT (less than 4 oz), so the tip is already pointing down when you grip it. It has a very hard buffalo tip at 13+mm and can jump from a few inches from a ball to full table jumps AND it has control to where you can (if you want), jump draw ! F.Y.I.

Lomax.
One guy I know uses a jump cue, make unknown, with a metal ferrule.
Is this legal?

Same here. It's very easy to be deadly accurate and also get the ball in the air quickly. Well worth the money!

I have been doing some experimenting lately making jump cues out of 40-50 year old bar cues. Pretty amazing.
When you figure that a good jump cue needs to have a stiff shaft, I couldn't think of anything stiffer than a decades old bar cue. I have put a 3/8 10 pin in a flat faced joint and installed a one piece phenolic ferrule/tip. I strip and sand the finished product but keep some of the "bar rash" which is enhanced by the new finish. Also, the darker hue of the old wood is pretty cool.
I have made about a half dozen so far and have been searching for more raw materials.
They are really unique, especially if you like the historic aspect and most importantly, do the job very well.

I have a new Mezz Airshooter. So far, I like it. :smile:
I have a lomax two piece (great as a general jump cue) and then a jacoby with a g10 for close more vertical jumps.
jump cue
Mark Oeslager Purple Heart with a Odega tip is by far the best I have used. Jumps unbelievable full cue or broken down, and the Odega tip is a must.
