Cuetec – AVID Surge Jump Cue – Black and Gold

Cuetec AVID Surge Jump Cue, Black and Gold

The AVID Surge Jump Cue in black and gold is the base model of Cuetec’s Surge jump line: a black 15-inch jump handle, silver and gold Power Twist rings, a black collar and butt cap, and a 29-inch shaft. It weighs 9.5 ounces assembled.

Cuetec’s MSRP is $299, the lowest in the series. Ours is $265.

Do you need a jump cue?

If you play 9-ball or 10-ball and keep getting hooked, a jump cue gives you an answer besides kicking. Jumping with a full 58-inch playing cue is possible but hard to control. A short, light cue like the Surge makes the stroke more manageable, and the extra-hard phenolic tip gets the cue ball off the cloth instead of skidding.

Pairing it with a break cue

The Surge jump cue isn’t a break cue, and you can’t add a full-length butt to it the way some break/jump cues work. Cuetec sells a separate Surge break cue in black and gold that matches this one. Both use the 3/8×14 Cuetec joint.

Specs that matter

• Surge Power Lift taper on the shaft.
• Air Light front end: bored out to reduce mass.
• 7 mm Power+ phenolic ferrule with an extra-hard Power+ phenolic tip on a glass pad.
• Construction: multi-ply glass composite bonded to A-grade kiln-dried hard maple.
• Length: 44 inches assembled, above the WPA’s recommended 40-inch minimum.

Other Surge jump finishes

The gray Florian Kohler Edition and the brown Sky Woodward Signature are the same cue in other finishes. See all of them on our AVID Surge jump cues page.
