VX BRK vs. VX BRKX: What's the Difference?

Both cues run the same Venom Carbon Fiber shaft. The difference is the job. VX Break does one thing — opens the rack as hard as possible. VX Jump/Break does that plus elevation, so you're not carrying a second cue for jump shots. Here's the full spec comparison so you know exactly which one your game actually needs.
