I was in the process of converting my JP Pechauer into a break cue. I upped the weight to 21oz and was going to switch the tip to a break tip.
After some research and experimentation, I decided to scrap that idea and ordered the Black Ice to go with the butt.
Well my wait is over and it was just delivered today. Of course I couldn't wait to try it out, so off I went.
I love the feel of it, especially after I removed the extra weight I had added to the butt.
It feels like a more solid hit than anything I had tried before with my limited experience and I am scattering the balls better than I did before.
I let a guy I was playing with give it a try since he is a much more experienced player and I wanted an opinion not biased by my excitement with a new toy.
He said he used to have a BK Rush but was unsatisfied with it and eventually sold it. He said he was really impressed with the Black Ice
and felt it had a real great feel and hit compared to his old break cue.
I highly recommend this break shaft. It looks great and breaks great. Here's some pics...
UPDATE: After having a few more days to break more racks I can definitely say I am very happy with my decision to get this shaft. I find it very comfortable with a solid hit and I don't have to try so hard to scatter the balls anymore.
