Can you jump shot in pool?

Jump shots aren't illegal in American pool, but to be legal, you need to approach the shot from a high angle and hit the ball down into the felt causing it to pop back up and over the ball you're trying to jump. Many players employ a jump cue like the Rage Jump Cue to make this easier.
