This is a jump cue from Keith Andy, BlackJack model. There are some scratches on the butt, but they do not affect play. Both the shaft and butt are straight. The performance is, needless to say, excellent for jumping. It's thick and heavy, so it's a good jump cue for those who are not very strong. It's perfect for those buying their first jump cue, and even those who are not so good at jumping can easily jump the cue ball. I think it's the best jump cue if you just want to jump! It also comes with a joint cap! Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments.
