How to Jump the Cue Ball Over Another Ball

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name's Joe, I'm at Breaktime Billiards in Wilmington, North Carolina, and I'm going to show you how to jump a ball using a full cue. This is how I like to jump balls. I don't use the short stick very often. I feel like I have more accuracy with, with my stick as opposed to the little, little jump cue. You do it the exact same way that you do with the jump cue. The only difference is that with the jump cue you can jump a ball much closer to the object ball than you can with a full cue. So you have to have enough room to be able elevate the cue ball to get over your object ball to make the ball that you're aiming at. So as before I'm going to raise my stick to about, you know, thirty forty degrees. And what's important is I have to hit straight down into the table so that my force is into the table which will cause the cue ball to bounce and go airborne over the object ball. And hopefully make the ball into the corner. And it looks something like this. And that's how you jump a ball using your full cue."
