This is a Cuetec jump break cue. Its three-piece design allows you to first use it as a break cue, then remove the rear section of the butt for an ideal-length jump cue. The forearm and butt sleeve are metallic black. The jump break joint is threaded. This pool stick features a black Veltex grip, stainless steel joint, and a warp-resistant, fiberglass-clad maple shaft. The shaft has the Cuetec SST "super slim taper" with the Tru-Glide finish. It's all in the technology. Cuetec cues are known for their durability and quality. Superior balance and a professional taper add to the quality hit enjoyed by professionals such as Earl Strickland and Allison Fisher. It has a 13mm Le Pro tip.
