![]() Fortunately, the full-length All-in-One cue jumps better than “normal” playing cues, as in APA it is illegal to break down to the short length. Players may also shoot jump shots with the All-in-One Stinger. It is approved for use as a playing cue and as a break cue. The All-in-One model Stinger has been officially approved for use in the APA (American Poolplayer Association league). Stingers may now be ordered with either tip, or ship us your Stinger shaft and we’ll change the tip for $45, including return shipping. It works nearly as well as our phenolic formulation. ![]() It meets the BCA requirements, and jumps & breaks better than any other leather we’ve tested. Our “Godzilla leather” tip is now available on Stinger cues. In preparation for this possibility, we have been developing and testing leather formulations for several years. The BCAPL (BCA Pool League) is no longer allowing phenolic tips in BCA league play.

If you don’t feel the Stinger is absolutely the best jumpbreak you’ve ever used, return it for a full refund. The finish is fully guaranteed for the first year. Your Stinger will retain its original beauty indefinitely. Jerry invented a sealant for his cues that protects and seals the wood to a depth of about a millimeter over the entire cue. With the extraordinary whiteness of the wood and the fact that it stays clean and bright, many players have wondered whether the Stinger might have a fiberglass coating. Without the Stinger technology, a flatter tip allows mis-hits, but the results are not accurate. You can miss-hit by quite a bit and still get the result you intended. The flatter profile causes the Stinger tip to have a huge “sweet spot”. Because the Stinger technology takes the hit energy to the center of the shaft regardless of where you hit the tip, our tip can be much flatter than typical break cues. We offer that service or can provide you with a tip to be installed by your cue mechanic.ģ. The tip for the All-in-One will eventually need to be replaced. The Pro Stinger’s tip/ferrule is guaranteed for life by Jerico Cues. This does not produce as accurate a hit as the Stinger’s patented tip/ferrule system, which runs the shock down the center of the shaft. Some other popular jumpbreak cues, such as the Sledgehammer, feature a one-piece tip/ferrule. This proprietary material is the only high-performance tip material that truly meets the BCA’s specification for jump/break tips. It was developed specifically for this purpose, and is in use only on Stingers. The tip material we used for The Stinger is unique. If you don’t have to hit as hard, you’ll get greater accuracy on your break or jump hit.Ģ. More swing energy is converted to hitting power, so you don’t have to hit as hard to get power. This results in a very efficient, very precise hit. On impact, the shock of the hit goes to the center of the tip, and then down the stinger, transmitting the impact directly to the center of the shaft, rather than into the ferrule. ![]() Instead, it features a “stinger” that projects downward through a hole in the center of the ferrule (picture a thumbtack). With this approach, the tip is not flat on the bottom, like traditional tips. This is the only cue available with this technology. The Stinger employs Jerico’s patented tip/ferrule system (US Patent #5462490). The secrets behind the incredible performance of the Stinger:ġ. The Stinger is built solidly, using the old-style, labor-intensive splice techniques. He succeeded.īoth Stinger models feature two quick-release joints, and come in your choice of 4 beautiful, exotic hardwoods: Bocote (wild grain, light golden brown with a yellowish cast), Cocobolo(nice grain, rich brown color with reddish/orange grain highlights), Purpleheart (actually a fine-grained purple wood), and Ebony (black with occasional grain features). He set out to develop a jumpbreak cue that would allow the highest level of precision play, produce spectacular results, and not require the maximum power hits most pros have come to rely upon. After suffering a rotator cuff injury, Jerry was concerned that he would no longer be able to break as effectively as the other pros. It is the end product of a 20-year development effort by Jerry. The Stinger is manufactured 100% in the USA by master cuemaker Jerry Powers of Jerico Cues. National Billiard Academy is responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution of the Stinger product line. Teaching the break and the two major jumping techniques!
