A jump cue is the best tool for pool jumping. The cue stick is longer than this type of cue, which gives you more leverage to perform the jump shot. It also features a hard tip that transfers power to the ball. Jump cues include ergonomic handles for optimal grip. They also feature a ferrule that is made of metal for more shock absorption.

You should also remember that you should not scoop the cueball. You cannot scoop the cue ball in pool. Double hits can be obtained by scooping the cue ball. If you scoop the cueball, you could also damage the pool table. You cannot do it in English style pool. It is only legal in American style pool.

Jump shot techniques are slightly different to regular shots. You must maintain a certain angle. Your right arm should bend at a 90-degree angle. You will also need to raise the cue to a 45 degree angle.


Your shot should have a high enough angle to reach the pearl. It is possible for the cueball to get stuck in the table if it is hit too low. This can lead to the cue ball hitting the bumper or felt, which is dangerous. You should also be sure to use a protective cloth to reduce any burns from the jump shot.

There are many options for jump shots. Some people will use a jump stick to make the jump easier. Jump sticks are shorter than standard pool cues and designed to jump a basketball over an object ball. They can also be removed from tight spaces.

Another type of shot that you may use is the "jump follow". This shot requires you to hit the ball above the pearl. This is a better shot than kicking. This is a technique many beginners use to improve their leap shot. However, this technique is also an ineffective method.

Many beginners believe they know how to properly jump. But in reality, the jump shot should be performed much like a normal shot. Maintaining a straight line is essential. It is important to hit the cueball just below the middle.

The "draw spin" is another type of shot you can use. This is a shot that causes the cue ball spin in the other direction. This shot is commonly called a "bottom shot". The ball is pointed slightly below the center of the ball and then it spins back to strike the target ball.
