Should you have a different cue stick for breaking?

It seems that everyone has a thought on this topic. How do you feel about it?

According to PoolDawg.com “ there is a saying  don’t break with your shooting cue and don’t shoot with your breaking cue.  Simply put, break cues were made for breaking.”

The short answer is you have to make your up your own mind. A breaking cue is meant to offer speed and to smash those balls. If it doesn’t matter to you and you want to shoot with your nice cue stick, the  thing to remember is that you might end up damaging your shaft and also mushrooming your tip which can turn out to be an expensive mistake.

 

If it comes down to an economic decision, maybe you can easily afford replacing tips as they are needed and do regular maintenance work.  Then you should need a breaking cue unless you decide to get one.
