Who is the best cue maker in the world?
This is a subjective question that cannot be answered - there is no "best" but there are many good cue makers. The best cue makers have attention to detail and while they may use computer aided cutting, turning, etc., the cue construction is essentially by hand. They make sure that wood goes through multiple drying stages and have other checks throughout the process that cannot be performed by any mass production of cues. There are dozens of high quality cue makers today, and none could be identified as "best", except by an individual personal opinion.
Who are americas best pool cue makers?
The answer to this is subjective. All the US custom cue makers are good in their own right, the term "best" depends on what you refer to. The most intricate designs are only made by very few cue makers, and those made by hand are fewer still. By many people's measure, the level of intricate artwork measures the cue makers skill. However, some cue makers concentrate on craftsmanship of the cue, not artwork. Artwork on some of the "best" cues is performed by a craftsman other than the cuemaker. An example is Sandra Brady who is an expert ivory scrimshaw artist that has worked for cue manufacturers but does not make cues. "Best" can refer to satisfying hte customers neds in the design - Michael Wagner of Raven Custom Cues has spent many months working with a customer for acceptance of the design of a cue before even cutting a piece of wood. Each custom cue maker has their own strengths and weaknesses, and "best" will be determined by who meets your needs the best. Meet with your custom cue manufacturer and look at their work and how they will work with you before ordering a custom cue. However, the best custom cue manufacturers will charge a lot for even the simplest lookingof cues, so be prepared to "get what you pay for".

What type of wood is the best for pool cues?
The type of wood you use in the construction of your cue will determine whether the cue will be softer hitting or harder hitting. For instance, Ebony and Cocobolo produce a similar hitting cue - hard rather than soft. Rosewood makes for a softer hitting cue. A cue made from Bocote will fall somewhere between.
Who are Americas best custom pool cue makers?
Popular is a subjective word. There are dozens of excellent custom pool cue makers in the US, and depending upon what someone is looking for, some are better choices than others for many reasons. So, without listing at least 25 great custom cue makers, this answer is only a starting point, and is not meant to take away from the fantastic work performed by those not mentioned. If a fine handcrafted cue is wanted without any fancy work, Barringer Cues has been well known for decades, and also Mariposa. If fancy work is desired, the question now goes to how long do you want to wait and how fancy - Joss, Longoni, Pechauer, Raven, Schon, among many others, can provide the work. If true artistry is desired, the custom cue maker that works with an artist is needed - pdf Studios has been noted for this (several people worked to make the well known $50,000 Hustler cue), Richard Black is another, as is Paul Mottey. If you want the most popular, you may mean those that have sold the most, but this certainly does not make them better or more popular. Each custom cue maker has their own approach and only a handful can most likely fulfill your needs if you have a specific project in mind.
What is a jump break billiards cue?
A jump break cue is a cue that billiard players use to break with and also the same cue breaks down into a jump cue. Traditionally, a break cue is a heavier cue that has a stiff shaft to transfer power from the player to the cue and ultimately to the racked balls on the other side of the table. There is a notion that a thinner shaft will give a "whip" action. this "whip action ismilliseconds after the hit on the cue ball, the shaft is temporally deformed and in another couple milliseconds, the shaft violently returns back to its original straight form. The violent return to its original form is the whip action.The jump portion of the cue is the shaft and the front prong (front 12" of cue behind the shaft and before the handle of the cue) of the cue that separates from the rest of the cue.Legal jumps in billiards are strikes on the upper half of the cue ball. The action of the cue ball is pressed down onto the table and as a reaction, the cue ball squirts in an upward motion leaving the table surface.Jump cues need to be light in weight as to make contact with the cue ball and be off of the it so the milliseconds it takes for the cue ball to respond, it won't be restricted by a jump cue that is still in the way of the cue ball's jump.

The cue stick is elevated to at least 45 degrees and the cue is quickly stroked through the cue ball pushing the cue ball into the table slate, which makes it then rebound into the air.
