I made a pot off a break ball and had a bad angle into the rack so I
jumped the cue ball to land in the middle of the rack which spread
them. I was playing Mosconi and he about had a cow. You obviously
have not seen much straight pool have you.
You see more jumps on 9 ball because they play more safes. 8 ball if
you spread and make a ball on the break you run out period. I jump a
lot in 8 ball when stuff is in my way. I just fly over it.
You act like the jump is some new invention you just discovered. They
were jumping over full balls in their way in the 1700's well before the
invention of the leather tip in 1827 with just a wood cue mace end.
Plain wood jumps better than a tip.
For years they have been jumping on tour but the skill at this has
changed. Before they were happy to just hit the ball and not give up
cue ball in hand. Now the top players expect to make the shot. At
last years Pro Hopkins event I was playing Shawn Putnman and twice I
played safeties that I thought had him and he jumps runs down table
length and makes two super tough cuts and got out. The crowd went
nuts. I sat down going what am I doing here.
