  1. Steve D. –

    Decent

    To be frank, i like to only use this pool cue as a jump stick since the phenolic puts marks and dings in the pool cue ball. However it generates much power in the break and works a fine as jump stick.

  2. Pat C. –

    happily suprised

    i must say im pleased with the action cue. i was very impressed with the way they put a custom tip on everything operates fine. for the price hard to beat

  3. Chris E. –

    Action Break Cue stick

    I have to say, i’m enjoying my new break cue….solid feel and seems good too.

  4. Taylor K. –

    Outstanding selection and great service

    Ordered a break stick from a large selection that was available. Order was shipped on time and customer service follow-up was extraordinary.

  5. Mary G. –

    Truly satisfied!

    From my perspective, i love this break jump cue. It’s my first one and has significantly improved my break. I’ve made the 8 ball on break twice with it so far and even made 7 balls in on the break on a bar box at my favorite sports pub. Also I know this is not it’s intended use but it’s something I like about the cue: the two piece forearm comes in handy when I play at a friends house that has an 8 footer in a room slightly too small for shots where the cue ball is frozen on the side rails no more elevated shots or bumping the wall with my regular playing cue 😛

    Break jump cue

    so far I have bought a Joss cue stick stick and an Action Break jump cue. I have won the last 2 tournaments I have played in winning over $ 500.00. So they have already paid for themselves. The beak/jump took a little getting used to because of the tip and I’m used to just using my regular cue to jump with, but once I got a feel for it I pocket a ball on the break just about every time and the stick ball stays pretty much in the center of the table. Very satisfied with my purchases and recommend.

  7. Sue H. –

    Fun jump/break cue

    I have to say, never owned a break/jump cue stick stick before but glad I got it! Sure you go from one stick to another for various shots, it does the job. Still learning the break part of 8 ball but jumping is more simpler than I thought. Sturdy cue stick and a good brand. Don’t think you have to have the most expensive break/jump pool cue stick. Treat it right like anything else you own.

  8. Riley M. –

    satisfactory break stick

    Can;t be beat for the price point. Straight shooter. Can get really good breaking power from it

  9. Drew C. –

    Break jump cue

    From my perspective, its a great stick will vouch for it Satisfied customer here.

  10. Amy N. –

    I went light at 19

    I went light at 19 oz looking for shaft speed to generate power instead of weight. might change bolt later but for now I’m very happy with ball spread keeping a little power in reserve for fine control. the cue ball has stayed pretty central on the table also 4/5 breaks in the one session I have had. joint,tip,ferrule, wrap all look like what I wanted and ordered. has a nice rear weight balance to it. made in China:( have to reserve a star for question of long term durability but my impression today is 5 star

    Action Actbj56 Pool cue

    Pleasant looking cue, breaks nicely with the Samsara tip. Ordered weight of 18oz, actual weight on my postal scale is 17.8oz. – not that big of a deal for me. Also ordered; one 1oz and a 2oz weight bolts but instead received three separate 1oz bolts. To see what weight was currently installed, I found that taking the butt cap off was a struggle – having to pry it off quite gingerly with a flat tip screw driver so as not to mare the butt. The existing weight bolt is a full 8 3/4 inches into the butt needing at least a 9 inch hex wrench to remove it – something I definitely don’t have on hand. Butt cap had to be re-seated using a rubber mallet. I’m confident PoolDawg will work out these issues with me.

    Action ACT56

    To be frank, i am very satisfied with this stick. I like the way it looks the way it feels and the snap it makes on contact with the cue ball. The ball seems to jump off of the tip even if you use something less than a banzai striking action as I do. Glad I bought it.

    Action ACTBJ56 Break Jump Stick

    Bought for my son, who is in his 3rd year of league play, he loves it. For the money he says it is a superb buy.

  14. Jen F. –

    Awesome Value

    I must admit, have had my Break/Jump Cue for about a month already am sinking 3 – 6 balls almost every break. As well as the jump stick has saved at 4 of my last 9 games from giving ball-in-hand during league play. Was considering spending almost $200 on a Stinger glad I picked up my ‘Hammer’.

  15. Beth J. –

    Case and break cue

    Case is extremely properly built – should last a long while. 3 slots for shafts and 2 for butt ends. Jump break stick has good feel and weight.

  16. Alex P. –

    I love the cue and

    I love the stick and as always super swift shipping

  17. Jim P. –

    Changed my breaks tremendously. I

    Honestly, changed my breaks tremendously. I was using a house pool cue to break resulting in a lot of dry breaks. With the new pool cue I’m making one or two balls on every break. sometimes more. There are still times I come up dry but not often.

  18. Sam C. –

    Needed another Break Pool cue upgraded

    Needed another Break Cue, upgraded the tip with a Kamui Black Clear Hard. Love to break action! Haven’t tried the Jump Cue for jumping yet, but did need to use it for an obstructed shot during an APA league match. Very pleased with this cue stick!

  19. Ann D. –

    Fantastic reliable Break Cue

    This is a outstanding step-up from breaking with a house-cue. For a decent price point, this cue enhances your break strength and how many balls you can make.

    Wife loves her new cue.

    Wife loves her new cue. It has improved her break

  21. Dan D. –

    Gift

    From my perspective, it was a gift for my husband and he’s played with it and loves it! The engraving turned out very good as properly.

  22. Taylor W. –

    Really nice break pool cue

    Very reliable break cue stick, tip is hard and solid weight. The weight bolts are removable so you can reduce the weight if needed.

  23. Jesse R. –

    Break/jump cue

    I am fairly new to playing, but could tell the difference immediately when breaking with this cue stick compared to my normal playing cue. The only reason it gets a 4 star is because I was unable to remove the weight bolt. Customer service was amazing and sent me a new cue stick right away.

  24. Kate T. –

    Break jump

    I’m not a big person so I struggle getting power behind my break with this cue i must say the just launches off the end of the cue stick, others who I’ve let try it have also been impressed ( now I did upgrade the tip to a samsara ) that being said I would highly recommend this cue

Weight & Balance

This cue is offered in WBACT, Yes. A lighter cue is easier to accelerate for a whippy, spin-friendly stroke; a heavier cue plants more solidly and drives the cue ball with less effort. Most players settle between 19 and 20 ounces.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Action ACTBJ56 Break/Jump Cue use?

It uses a Action Quick Release joint. That means any Action Quick Release shaft will thread straight onto this butt, so you can add a spare or upgrade later without changing cues. If you are matching a shaft you already own, check its pin against Action Quick Release before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

What shaft diameter is the Action ACTBJ56 Break/Jump Cue?

This cue ships with a 13.00mm shaft. Thinner shafts put more spin on the cue ball and feel crisper through the stroke; larger diameters feel fuller and are more forgiving on off-centre hits. Neither is better — it comes down to how you like the cue to hit.

Is this a carbon fiber or wood shaft cue?

The Action ACTBJ56 Break/Jump Cue comes with a Classic Wood shaft. Carbon fiber will not warp, ignores humidity and deflects less; quality maple gives the traditional feel a lot of players still prefer. Both play at a high level, so pick the one that matches how you want the cue to feel.

What is the Action ACTBJ56 Break/Jump Cue built for?

It is set up as a break, jump cue. Playing cues are balanced for control on shot-making, break cues are heavier with a harder tip for power transfer, and jump cues are short and light to get the cue ball airborne. Using the right one also protects your playing cue from break wear.

What kind of grip does it have?

The grip is linen wrap. Irish linen wicks sweat and stays tacky, leather is plush and premium, and a no-wrap finish is fast and needs no maintenance. If your hands run warm, linen is usually the safer pick.

Is Quarter King an authorized Action dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Action dealer, so this cue is genuine and carries the full manufacturer warranty against warpage and defects in workmanship. Warranty claims go through us — you do not have to deal with the factory yourself.

How fast does it ship, and can I return it?

Shipping is free on orders over $98 in the contiguous US, $5.50 flat otherwise, and you get tracking as soon as it moves. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery on unchalked, unused product — contact us first for a return authorization so it is credited without delay.
