Pool Product Review: The Predator BK Rush Jump Break

[@toddmichael6600]

Just bought a McDermott stinger jump/break cue. Wouldn't mind another for comparison. Happy new year Chris, best of luck to everyone

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

Congratulations Todd!!! You are the winner of the Predator BK Rush Jump Break Cue. I need you to contact me as soon as possible so we can arrange delivery!

[@toddmichael6600]

Trying to figure out how to message, sorry at league right now finishing up

[@isurmise2424]

So how is the BKRush+ comapred to the McDermott Stinger? I have the stinger currently and was thinking about getting the BKRush +

[@toddmichael6600]

@@isurmise2424 Hello! The stinger has a little bit larger of a tip diameter, so you get more of a 'true strike' with it. Contact point of the cue ball for jumping is a little bit more forgiving as well. WITH THAT SAID, the CF shaft on the BKRush is much stiffer and does not flex as much as wood, so if you strike true you will get more action on the ball (for the most part). In addition, the butt/shaft of the BKRush is lighter overall, allowing you get transfer more power into break shots. I actually have to dial it back a little bit on breaking so that I can control the cue ball a little more. Overall, practice will allow you to get used to one over the other. Good luck!

[@jasonburnsteen2315]

I have been playing pool for years just for fun. I now play in a league and watch your videos to pick up tips. Your videos are always informative. I have tried some of them and I am a better pool player because of you.

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

I really like the jump break combination cues, but you do make a slight slight sacrifice in both to have it do both jobs when compared to having individual cues for both.

[@KC-wb5nf]

Took a few decades of pool and my game would’ve been so much better if I had KZbin back in my day… Thank you for your videos, you have made my game better! Thank you

[@shubinternet]

I love your tips and tricks, and I love the fact that you showed two perspectives on the shots, plus slow motion, plus the Predator break speed app. The more visual detail I can get on the instructional videos, the more I can learn and hopefully the bette4 I can play. Thanks! Sharing now….

[@danmichael4787]

That stick sounds like the remedy I am looking for to help me continue improving my break. You do great videos and your instruction manner is excellent. Easy to understand and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@donaldwalker3642]

Yes, enjoy your videos. 3 ball break in 1 = graze head ball solid 2nd ball w/draw Medium speed 1ball hits side 1 ball banks one rail cross side corner 2 ball goes 1 rail long to corner 3 ball goes to pocket. if speed is wrong you can scratch. Everything correct three balls one shot.

[@Hustler4Life1987]

Another great video as usual Chris. I doubt lightning will strike twice and I win another cue, but you never know. Regardless if I win or lose I love your videos and I think its amazing how you give these away to people free of charge, it just shows the kind of man you really are. I hope God blesses you and your family!

[@michaelbellet]

Always enjoy your unbiased reviews. My friend has the BK Break cue without the Jump option. Nice to see a combination cue. Keep posting your videos. Michael (proud owner of the $300 Konllen Carbon Fibre cue which we discussed earlier).

[@Uni_melody]

Thank you for being so thorough and so happy I found your channel. My husband started playing again and I have always loved to play.

[@cecilfreeman6147]

Thank you for the demonstration of the predator BK Rush cue. Jumping is a skill that I have yet to develop as I do not have a jump cue, or a break cue. I am at the level now where I would like to start playing in some of the local tournaments. Currently I devote 10 to 12 hours a week to practice and play.

[@felipemunoz4465]

Happy New year to you too that has been a wonderful presentation I wish I can buy one of those . I'm just an old guy playing APA for 2 years and has been a wonderful experience to me thank you.

[@RecMike]

Just recently got into billiards again after being away from a table for more than 10 years. Found this channel along with FXB and Dr. Dave, and you all have helped me tremendously. I rather like your livestreams where you go through your thought process and the what and why of the shots. Very nice.

[@RichardsWorld]

I see you mention the "pop" break with cue ball jumping in the air and landing in the middle of the table. When I'm doing decent that's how I break with a regular cue. I seen somewhere someone said the cue ball isn't popping up in the air with the low deflection shafts because the cue ball isn't being deflected or driven in to the table as much. He had to adjust his break to purposefully drive the cue ball in to the table. I noticed when you tried the pop break it didn't jump at all.

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

"I noticed when you tried the pop break it didn't jump at all" I'm not sure what you meant by this because on all three breaks the cue ball does pop into the air and land back on the table.

[@MrMistaZee]

Thank you for the review! I would love to test it against my maple Stinger break/jump cue. But even bigger thanks for introducing me to the break speed app! Sorry, got to go and check my break speed

[@xDark5taRx]

Wow, just when I am starting to think my Action break/jump cue with a phenolic tip isn't my jam, you are doing a tasty giveaway! Super awesome 👍 . Nice video on the BK Rush cue.

[@xDOCxSTRANGEx]

It was a pleasure meeting you in Vegas. Thanks again for the great content.

[@paladyyn]

I personally love the "Sandbagger" shirt. Great review! My McDermott i-1 should be arriving today. Looking forward to trying out a dedicated break cue for the first time.

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

[@ramonsytb]

I recently started considering to buy the predator jump break cue and you are the only one who did a review of it. Nicely done and I got everything I wanted to know from your video. I have a BK Rush with sports wrap and I love it so if I want to buy the jump break one, I will also go with sports wrap.

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

That's one hell of a break cue with tremendous power. Thanks for the awesome review, glad you thoroughly tested this cue both in breaking and jumping.

[@vividpsychosis8222]

I get my first ever high end cue and break cues tommorrow! I got the Predator Sport 2 Black with Revo 12.4 19 ounce kamuki tip and the BK rush 19 ounce! I am so so excited.

[@jscrogg73]

Thank you for the great review... as I am vertically challenged as well... this would work great for myself too. I currently have the BK3, and have been considering the BK Rush myself. Once again, thanks for the review and keep the great content coming!

[@xJeRCx]

I bought my first JB for 100 bucks. I've gotten pretty good at the jumps and have been thinking about upgrading for a while, this is one I've had my eye on. Thanks for giving me a good review on it to help me weigh out my options!

[@terencelavigne9626]

As somebody who doesn't have a jump shot in my game, I'm always impressed to watch others do it so easily

[@jameswalton4259]

I like to stay incognito as well. Great interview! Article is coming together perfect.

[@nemes876]

Fingers crossed! I definitely would like to have a jump break combo that’s decent. Good luck all! To whoever gets it, enjoy! Thanks Chris!

[@kennethbowers9553]

Hey Chris I was watching your live screen a little while ago I know your hand had to be hurting but you kept on going that's why you'll reach 1 of your goals your not a quitter and you are a good shooter so keep it going your going to make it guy later

[@rolandbetts1806]

I don't have a break cue or a jump cue. I just started watching your live streams and are really enjoying them. Keep doing them . I'm learning a lot and have been teaching others on my teams in APA.

[@elsonbiscocho2648]

Great shot! That is one of my weakness jumping balls, but still trying hard to fullfil this goal to add it to my arsenal, wish i could have one cue like that. Thank you for sharing your skills. God Bless and long live to be able to share more knowledge about this game of Pool. Thank you Lil!

[@robertrodriguez2017]

Great job and perfect timing on evaluating this break cue as I've been looking to purchase myself a new one. Keep up the great work with the videos they've helped me improve my game considerably.

[@jessestromberg6530]

Really nice video again. That is one of the best break cues i have tried

[@beam1028]

Well the locals here think I'm a hustler anyway... So adding this cue to my case wouldn't hurt my image and with practice I might even be able to jump balls. I have only done one legal jump in my life and that was with someone else's new jump cue who didn't know how to use it. I tried it and it worked... I didn't say I made the object ball but at least I jumped the ball that was in the way. Hopefully you get a lot of views on this and are able to send the cue out soon. Love the videos.. thanks for the good work.

[@luisitomondido5194]

Very nice que i wish to have that one on my wishlist...thanks chris

[@austinsmith8588]

I've been trying to research a good jump break cue in my budget, thanks for demonstrating the effectiveness of this cue!! Great content, as always!

[@kevinbui4059]

There's a lot of good options out there and you don't have to spend a lot of money. Just remember that a jump break won't be excellent at both. Usually an excellent break cue or jump cue, but not the other.

[@theduong140]

Thank u for reviewing this jump break cue. The video is really detailed. I had a plan to buy one in the next year :)

[@FernandoGarcia-po1xx]

And a happy new year to you also. As with all of your videos that was a great demonstration of the use of a cue. The BK Rush not only breaks great but jumps great also. I have been playing pool for a good while and until recently have been trying to decide between a jump cue or a break cue. Your demonstration shows how much more sense it makes to have two in one. Keep up the good work.

[@jeremyhepler2424]

Very nice review video. I don't have a personal break stick yet, but have recently discovered the advantage of having one. Now I just need to work on my technique, which you have great videos for as well.

[@gerryborn5108]

Well Chris, I’m from Alberta, Canada and at 5’4” it hopefully meets the stature criteria for eligibility to win the break jump cue. Love your simple straightforward pool lessons! Thank you. Gerry Born

[@samrton8487]

The detail you find in these videos is insane, we appreciate you Lil Chris.

[@kentsears1429]

Do I really need another cue? Well, I do have an spare slot in my cue rack for a BK Rush. So go ahead and send it. Thanks for all the great videos Chris. Looking forward to more of your APA matches in 2022.

[@thomaskimble2784]

I have been watching you and have learned a great deal from you I am fairly new to the pool game and would love to have the predator brake job cue I will also be buying the J flowers pool cue you demonstrated on one of your videos.

[@anthonyhagan8499]

The review on the cue was helpful and really timed perfectly with playing pool at home. I just got my dad to start playing pool again and he hasn't touched a pool cue in 15 years so now we've been looking for good break cues. So this definitely helped.

[@ggrif21]

Great review. Great 2-in-1 cue. Keep up the great videos. I love how you go into depth but don't get too technical. Cheers.

[@kenmonis4348]

Aloha Chris, been watching your channel for a while and learned alot. I like watching your matches and the way you play. Never tried the BK break cue, but would love to try it. Have a Wonderful and Blessed day. Keep the videos coming. Mahalo. Ken

[@vikingstorm0914]

One of my players on my nine ball team has the BKRush but not the jump cue and it does hit like a wrecking ball when he connects. Thanks for the chance and great demonstration of the cue!

[@ainaaipa5810]

Btw, I purchased both a Predator Carbon Fiber 12.4mm shooting cue and BK Rush break cue together about 4 years ago! My best pool investment! ...until I just received my Predator Air Rush 3 pc. jump cue yesterday!! Have not tried it out yet. I'm sure I will sometime today. 🤙🏽

[@ronthepoolstudent]

Excellent demonstration as always Lil’ Chris. As someone that has been using a 25 oz. Rage break/jump cue, I’ve come to realize lighter is better. Ive heard mention of the Predator BK Rush but did not know all the particulars. I’ve been contemplating which jump cue I should purchase and I like what you’ve highlighted in this cue. My height at 5’9” should not be a factor either so thanks for pointing that out as well. I too like the wrap on my Predator Sport 2 shooting cue but don’t mind not having a wrap on a break cue as my rage is wrap free and I am comfortable with it. Thanks once again LC for doing such a great job profiling this cue… I’m sold. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CueListings]

Ron, take a look at the JFlowers break or B&J cue. Genuine leather sports wrap, half the price of the BK Rush.

[@stevemather4651]

I've been struggling with whether to pick up a break cue or a jump cue so I've been looking at this cue. Looks like it would be perfect for me. Thank you for the review!

[@kevinbui4059]

Jumping is very niche. Definitely a break cue or a jump break.

[@politicalatheist5861]

Great video!!! I’ve found break cues are definitely more a feel thing. I’ve preferred a house cue over some break cues I’ve tried.

[@drakewoodard7967]

Somewhat of a beginner and have been looking at these cues and your review just confirmed everything I was hoping to hear about these!

[@rolandschmidt8527]

Could you please make a Video about soft/hard tips and 12 to 13 tips? Thanks a lot for all of your former videos. Was very helpful!!

[@sandman7ac]

I’ve been thinking about getting a break cue. Your video on this combo cue makes sense, two cues in one . Great demonstration. Thanks

[@WNowacki69]

Hey Chris, nice review. I'm new to 8-ball and 9-ball, just joined the APA about 6 months ago. I've never used a jump cue yet, but I am now at the level where I think I need to start. Thanks for all the tips!

[@richgilbert8748]

Got to use one in the League I play in......solid cue! Would love to add to the bag! Thanks for the reviews.

[@vortex123go]

First time making a comment your videos have been very helpful liked the demo on the cue looking forward to seeing more videos thanks for making them i started playing pool 2 years ago now a skill level 4 in apa most of my training is watching the videos then trying the shots thanks

[@killerbj103]

Glad to see this cue work. I’ve been looking at one for a while.

[@djridgenyc]

Seems like a really good break/jump cue. I really like your reviews on all the products you review. I plan on purchasing a carbon fiber break /jump cue this year(unless I am the lucky winner of this beautiful cue) 😁

[@ryanwood5716]

I’ve been looking at getting a bkrush jump break myself. Thanks for the review. Helps me lean more that way.

[@terrythomas5479]

I love cues with no wrap. I can't use linen but I also love the sport wrap. Put me in the running for the raffle. I would love to use it. Thanks for the review.

[@mariocatacutan6924]

I like your videos Chris, I don't jump the cue ball coz I'm short but I used the angles for bank and kick back shots. I like that Predator BK Rush cue but I can't afford it. He he he. I play lots of pool but my cues are not as good quality like my opponents but then again I give them a great competition. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you so much. Cheers.

[@robertgould8099]

Good review. I have a Predator BK III which is a decent break cue, although I've been wanting to try the Predator Rush break cue. Thanks for having this excellent KZbin site.

[@reneeswaim7280]

I'm getting back into shooting pool after about 20 years with very little shooting. I never owned a cue, recently got a playing cue that really gave some consistency to my game, now looking at jump/break cues to take it to the next level. The BK Rush looks like a solid investment to reach that goal

[@chrisdrippe]

It's a great cue, a very nice break and jump cue, one that I would never be able to buy, a pricey cue, but it plays very well, another great review,Chris!

[@04renostar]

I sure would love a new brake cue. What better place for this one to go? I can’t think of one….

[@davidlatsha7107]

The review on this cue was great!! Thanks so much for sharing.

Your 14.1 live stream led me here. Great review and another great piece of content!

[@RyanRepp]

Happy New Year! The BK Rush seems like a top of the line break/jump cue. Anyone would be lucky to have one!

[@TimZ007]

I have this cue with a wrap and i find it does not jump as close as the poison vx jump. It has a leather tip stock which offers great control but lacks for the short jumps. The phenolic is better imo for jumping.

Good job on the review. I have a bk2 break cue and have used the rush cue from a friend. It was smooth hitting whoever gets the cue will enjoy it.

[@huzaifasiddiqui8221]

Whelp, we'll have to see if this works! Jump and break cues in one I have heard are dicey, but this seems great. Could be user, and not tech though.

[@billteager3618]

It appears that is the Rush + model. Basically meaning that it was built by Predator as a JB as opposed to being converted by an aftermarket party.

[@yairgo]

I had no clue that they have a jump break version! Thanks for the heads up!
