I bought a 20 oz J&J J/B cue with a phenolic tip from the pawn shop for $25. The guy said it was a 3-piece cue made in Japan. He said they don't have much room for pool table there and need a short cue a lot. He was not Pawn Stars material. Seems to break them better than my regular cues with less power. I'll know more in the morning when I try to get out of bed. Thanks all. Johnnyt
I have always used a break cue that was the same as my playing cue or one OZ. more wieght as my playing cue. (19OZ.). In fact most of the time I used my playing cue. My problem now is when I break hard enough to get a good spread in 10-ball and 8-ball and a few more triangle shape racked games just about every bone and muscel lays me up for a day. I love playing the 10-ball ghost and three other games I have to break very hard in.
My question is will going to a 22 OZ. or more break-cue let me slow my stroke down and still get a good spread. I've always used the playing cue because I could get the speed and snap faster with it. Now when I get a good snap everything else in my body wants to snap too. Thank you in advance for your feedback. Johnnyt
Can you explain "push thru the cueball" to me.
I love mine. I put a Samsara tip on it and added 4 oz of lead. For me heavier is better. Light aint bad...just like the extra weight since I am not swinging full speed.
