[0001] We begin construction of our jump break cue using the lightest woods possible; Basswood became our wood of choice. Our first step is to put the Basswood on a lathe and it down to 11.5 inches in length and shape it to be the jump handle section of our three-piece jump break cue. Final step of our first section it to mate the jump handle, this is the forward top of butt section, which directly attaches to the shaft via use of the first joint.

[0002] Our second section is the butt (the very bottom section of the two piece butt) is 17.5 inches length. Again, we use Basswood for this section. We attach this bottom section of the butt to the jump handle through the use of a second joint.

[0003] Total combined length of the two butt sections above is 29 inches and constitutes the main portion of the butt for our jump break billiard cue.

[0004] X-1 LimbSaver.TM. rubber bumper is standard 1 inch length and weighs 0.7 ounces. Using the X-1 allows us to generate more energy transfer from the butt of the cue through the tip of the shaft with the least amount of vibration.

[0005] Maple shaft with attached G-10 or G-11 glass epoxy ferrule/tip (Either hardness can be used but we've discovered the G-11 is harder and will allow quicker energy transfer). Thus, our preference for G-11 for the ferrule/tip of our Lightning Bolt jump break cue. Our Over-all length of 29.25 inches for the shaft includes the G-11 ferrule/tip. This is the third and final section of our three-piece jump/break cue.

[0006] Using either G-10 or G-11 glass epoxy for our ferrule/tip we keep the over-all length between 1.125 and 1.3 inches. Next we bore out the forward end of the shaft and attach a maple dowel rod for our tenon. Then we thread the tenon to assure a secure fit as described in the next paragraph.

[0007] Our Maple shaft has tenon, on the ferrule end is 0.75 inches in length. The tenon is then treaded. We then add a slit down the center length of the threaded tenon. This is done just before applying the glue for final assembly of this section. This slit is a vital part of the construction process, as it allows the epoxy to escape out the tenon, avoiding the possibility of an air pocket forming. It is imperative to not have an air pocket between the ferrule and tenon in order for these two components to withstand the energy exerted on them while jumping and breaking billiard balls with the cue.

[0008] The joint diameter is 0.8400 inches with 0.2025 inches wide Pro-vinyl.COPYRGT. plastic (Black) rings used on each section of the joint for added strength.

[0009] At the joint between the jump handle and butt of the Lightning Bolt we added a set of 0.2025 inch wide Phenolic.COPYRGT. Black rings, this is needed for added strength to keep the wood joint from off setting itself. This joint section is calibrated at 0.9745 in diameter.

[0010] The butt cap diameter is 1.1605 inches and 0.405 inches height. We additionally use a Pro-vinyl.RTM. black plastic ring.

[0011] We use aluminum radial joint pins made by the Uni-Loc Corp. for each of the two joint sections

[0012] To add additional strength to the basswood we drilled 0.5 inches width into the center of the lengthwise sections of the butt and jump handle. Then inserted stronger maple dowels rods, over-all length of the dowel rod inserts are 2.75 inches length and 0.5 inches in width.

[0013] The bored out holes in the basswood are 3 inches in depth.

[0014] Last, we counter bore the maple dowels 1.0625 inches for inserting the radial pins.
