There are a lot of jump cues out there and most of them are pretty darn good. Mystick Cues Jumpin' Jack has a few bells and whistles that warrant a closer look.

The 12" handle is pretty straight forward. It comes in any one of many exotic hardwoods. Each one effects weight, but beyond that it's pretty much a beauty contest. Jumpin' Jack uses 3/8-10 pin just to make sure this high impact shot has a good solid joint. Quick disconnects are catchy, but we prefer added threads to ensure a good solid joint. An additional blessing is that the player is assured of quick reasonable service just about anywhere in the world.

The big news comes with the shaft. Jumpin' Jack uses a 30" Purple Heart shaft featuring a slightly modified three-cushion billiard taper. The shaft couples with a monolithic G-10 glass ferrule/tip to give unbelievable jumping power. Total length is 42-inches. Beyond that there is little to say. You simply have to get on the table and see for yourself.

Get past the marketing hype: If you can't see the difference and you can't feel the difference, there is NO difference!
