I am trying to make a jump shot in pool and they say to point the cue tip straight down to the table. But whenever I try I always scratch up my table. How do I avoid scratching up my table?

You most likely are hitting the cue ball below center. In APA Rules, that makes it a scratch and not a break shot - it is an illegal shot- and often can damage a table. A proper jump shot is made by stroking into the cue ball to push it *into* the table, and the ball actually rebounds off the slate. If you carefully examine the felt under the cue ball before and after a jump shot you will see the crushed felt fibers where the cue ball was. After a little bit of additional play, this crush damage is not noticeable anymore.
So, you must elevate your cue to no less than 45 degrees (and not much more or the cue may interfer with the jump) - stroke through the cue ball as if you are trying to hit the table. This shot takes very little practice to do well once you get the angle right.
