I use a piece of wax paper on the wraps of my cues. The wax keeps things smooth.

From what I can see, the Talisman Tribal cases use stitching, rather than rivets and I like that.

No there was no trickery going on. I knew it was not a leather case. I knew is was some kind of vinyl and it is a nice case. The material reminds me of a product called Naugahyde that was used in car interiors during the sixties, before the cheaper vinyl was substituted. I am simply saying...

What do you think of Talisman cases as opposed to Instroke?

The Mezz case is nice and I am using it. It just galls me plastic cases are so expensive.

I had been shopping for a nice leather cue case for my new Mezz cue. I wanted a nice, plain leather case, but couldn't really find what I was looking for at a price I could afford. So, I bought a 2X4 Mezz case for over $250 and the case is made of plastic. It's a nice case as plastic cases go...

I've never played with a Lucasi, but I cannot say enough about the playability of my Mezz. It is an AXi 607 with Wavy joint and WX700 shaft. Great feedback and a soft hit that matches my playing style.

AXi 607 I bought the AXi 607 a couple weeks ago and I love it. It's perfect for me. Yesterday, I ordered a second shaft for it... this one in 30 inch length. Great cues.

My first two custom cues were from Herman Rambow and they played great. Idiot that I was, I sold them when times were tough. (Should have sold some little used bodily organ.) I just resumed played pool after a long absence and bought an $800 Mezz AXi 607. I really, really like this cue. It...

Complete Satisfaction I like it very much. I am transitioning from a 50 year old, 22 ounce Titlest conversion with solid maple shafts. The Mezz came with the softer hitting Wavy joint and the WX700 shaft. It seems a great combination and it just works for me. I have a couple Predators with...

Thanks for your input JB, but I'm looking for a leather case.

Guys, I'm in the market for a new leather case for a new Mezz cue. I'm leaning toward the Talisman Tribal, but thought I'd ask your opinions before pushing the button. Thanks for your input.

It turned out the cue I pictured above was out-of-stock. I ended up getting the AXi 607, which is a little fancier than I'd like but a great playing cue.

Thanks guys. I think I'll have it replaced with leather. I always liked the look of the old Brunswick Titleist with leather wrap.

I have the original Irish linen wrap on my 50 year old Titleist conversion. It's no longer white. How can it be cleaned? Or, should I just replace it? Thanks in advance.
