Jump Break Cues for Powerful Break Shots

Jump break cues are specialized pool cue sticks designed to perform two critical shots in billiards: the break shot and the jump shot. These cues are built for durability, power, and control when opening the rack or jumping over obstructing balls.

Our jump break cues are available in several popular weight options including 18 oz, 19 oz, 20 oz, 21 oz, 25 oz, and 28 oz. Some players prefer heavier break cues such as 25 oz or 28 oz for maximum power, while others choose adjustable cues between 18 oz and 21 oz for better control and balance.

Many break cues feature ultra-hard tips such as phenolic tips designed for maximum energy transfer on the break shot.

What Is a Jump Break Cue?

A jump break cue combines two functions in one billiard cue stick. It can be used as a powerful break cue to open the rack and also converted into a shorter cue for performing jump shots.

These cues are commonly used by competitive players who want the convenience of a single cue for both breaking and jumping.

Jump Break Cue Weights

Jump break cues are commonly available in multiple weight options:

  • 18 oz break cue
  • 19 oz break cue
  • 20 oz break cue
  • 21 oz break cue
  • 25 oz heavy break cue
  • 28 oz heavy break cue

Heavier break cues can generate more power on the break shot, while lighter cues may offer more control depending on the player's technique.
