The cue ball is jumped entirely or partially over an obstructing ball with an illegal jump shot that scoops under the cue ball

i dont think its cheating. It is in snooker but not in pool. I'm no expert tho...

that's 8 ball. I always understood that you could jump but it was a foul if it was a 'flick' upwards... but it's been years since my mis-spent youth!!

in 9 ball as said already it is ok to jump as long as you strike down on the ball and dont scoop or chip it over.

 

to be fair when me and my mates play we are all to sh1t to do it properly so would normally let any sort of jump shot stand.
