Pool Instruction - Overhanded Jump Shot (fredm4315)

A brief lesson on how to jump a cue ball using the overhanded method including some persuasive reasons why I believe the overhanded method is a better way to jump than the conventional underhanded method.

WOW WOW WOW WOW, you said 20 min, it took me 10 min to master short jumps. I did not have jump stick i used std shaft (a bit short though) with regular tip but could not jump much, i took the tip off and shot with the plastic fearel waht a difference, i started jumping, i guess i need to buy jump tip, what you recommend. Again thanks much, you are much better than Bert Kinister i could not jump much his way.

keep up the good work.

Thanks for the great comments. I'm using a Bungie (not sure of the spelling). It's a fairly cheap que at about $80. It's also very light and has a phenolic tip, both of which really help make the process more effortless.

Not a big fan if the jump shot, but this does look like a decent way to try it. He's shooting into the table, instead of lifting the cue ball. Looks like a pretty good shot. Most pool halls don't like people jumping or masse. Nice work though. Also, I personally think they should make players use a regular cue to jump balls. Not a midget cue.

good video. i normally jump the other way, but your arguments are valid so it's worth to try it this way and see the difference.

Hi, I can use this method only when its near the rail, outside the rail i cant jump using this method and the other method. Any tips?

@poolshooter2007 If you want an even better jump cue spend a little bit more money and get a Keith Kustom Kue. His jump cues make it ridiculously easy to jump with. 6oz total. Anyone could jump with his cues. Also I have a playing cue(16.5oz) made by him. I can also jump with the full cue for like half ball jumps. Check him out you wont be disappointed in his work.
