http://www.poolplayers.com - Dr. Cue Pool Lesson 34: Foundation for Jumping - One of the most common skills that fascinate players is the jump shot. Many believe they can not jump, when in fact almost everyone that has moved a cue at a rapid rate of acceleration has in fact jumped. A skipping action of the cue ball occurs when struck at a fast speed due to the tip causing a slight downward pressure on it. Anyone that has ever thrown a stone across water has the principle in hand, so to speak, using speed and a slight incline of the motion being applied to achieve this beauty! A faster and more inclined cue generally creates a higher jump effect!!

  • I would hate to be dr.cue's opponent in a game of pool

  • I've always had trouble jumping because of the way I held my cue. After seeing this I will make sure to practice more and more on jumping before leagues start soon. Thanks Dr. Cue

  • It is common knowledge that technique is the foundation of making great jumps or masse shots, BUT, everyone that I talk to would like to know what kind of tip the Doctor uses and what kind of tip most artists use. I have a great playing and break cue, and planned to buy the dr.popper jump stick, but the question in our minds is still: What kind of tip are you using on your playing cue??? I have seen Yow use a jump,masse,playing,and break cue with all different tips, What playing tip do you like?

  • @brooklynboiz are you kidding me? Thats the best way to learn!

  • my bf can jump over a ball that is practically right infront of the cue.... how do I do this?

  • @sandrobl1

    Yes, a moron is what you are don't act surprise I am sure you have been told this all your life or did your mommy and daddy not want to hurt your feelings? aw poor poor little baby. Me personally I would call you a retarded ass motherfucker to your face if I could because you really do need to hear it if you haven't then maybe you can get a life and stop working at that crappy ass fast food place that you do.

  • wow doctor cue you made that look so easy , but it was not when i hit the pool table .Need more practise ~

  • @sandrobl1 Laughing at yourself in a mirror I see? Hahaha and you are right you ARE a moron but why are you being so easy on yourself? you are way more idiotic than that.

  • @brooklynboiz

    hahahahha moron..

  • Tom Rossman did a clinic at a local hall in my hometown several years ago. After a mindblowing exibition he asked if anybody in the house wanted to play him in a game of 9-ball. There were only a few takers and I was one. (I'm just a hack but guess what....I get to play Dr. Cue,right.) Finally, it's my turn. I break making the 6. I make the 1 then he proceeds to run out in about 30 sec., smiling and talking the whole time. We shot the breeze and he gave me some pointers, too. SUPER nice guy!
