CUES

Break Jump

The break/jump is a three piece custom cue.   Using a unique tenon style phenolic tip and ferrule, the shafts on break/jumps have a semi-pro taper. This cue does double duty.  First as a break cue when fully assembled then, when needed, transforms into a jumper via it's quick release joint at the handle.

Jumpers

The jumper, unofficially dubbed "Foster LIte" combines 3 technical aspects which produce a jump cue that will aid in your performace.

1.   The shaft is a thicker style with     a linear taper.

This brings the balance point      and mass forward making the      center of gravity lower and the      cue easier to use.

2 .  The tip is a crown or tenon style      made of solid phenolic, proven      to be an excellent jump tip.

Jump butts are fashioned from low density curly maple and feature an aluminum joint screw.  These materials aid in lowering the balance point for greater control.

The above picture shows, on top, birdseye handle with tulipwood butt collar and leather bumper.  In the middle, stained brown curly maple with a rubber bumper.  On the bottom, stained candy apple red with a leather bumper.

This photo shows the standard threaded piloted aluminum joint.
