I play with an X breaker - it's one of the reasons we asked Richard's company to sponsor the Tiger Tour. I can't say enough about them. They literally sell themselves. I let anyone interested play with mine and it speaks for itself. I'm a 5 foot tall female, and I have increased my break quite a bit just by moving to this break cue, it has a powerful break, really spreads the balls out. I've always had problems jumping, not with the X breaker. It practically works for you. I had the older style X breaker but recently moved to the newer style being made by Samsara - I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but it plays even better.
I wish you lived nearby - there's nothing like actually trying one out!
Richard commented earlier that he has seen sales boost in Maryland where or tour is based - again - it's because I readily hand mine over for people to test. Once you try it - you will like it I'm sure!
