Jumping
A few people have asked about jumping a ball utilizing The Steady Shot. Though not intended for jumping I tried to see if I could make it happen. By enlarging the opening for the bottom notch while adding an angled notch to the last finger hole, I’ve been able to jump a ball(s). When turned on its side, gripping the “higher end” in your hand, you have the angled notch in the last finger hole that guides your cue for jumping.
It’s not a catch-all for everyone. I jump using the dart method and it works for me. My son and some others who use the full grip method find it’s not tall enough. We use the same jump cue, a Jumper by Jacoby Custom Cues. I like the finger groove which is perfect for the dart method and my son likes the bell end for a full grip. It’s not the cue restricting the jump but possibly the jumping style.
If you want the “jump notch” added it will be an additional $10. I’ll also need about 4 days, hopefully less, to make your custom Steady Shot.
