Golf is not a good example. There are cheaters even at the pro level. Golf could be more fun with less rules

Cool!

Nothing wrong with vinyl. I have vinyl cases. The case I strap to my Harley is vinyl.

I just really dig leather.

Yes, leather is expensive. Really good leather can be very expensive.

Doc, if I'm not mistaken you have some antique 1 piece cues. I'd like to see some of them.

Do you mean like the 3-Sec cases?

I have a ragged JB case; I'm not sure how much I like the nylon/polyester material that makes the exterior. I do understand that it is probably more rugged and weatherproof (although the zippers aren't), but it does feel a bit cheap—OK for the everyday player but not for the fancy custom (and who needs that much protection for the everyday player?).

Leather is nice but heavy and expensive; it's nice to have a fancy one for the fancy cue in the collection.

High-quality vinyl can look great, will be durable, is cheaper than leather, and is lighter.

I still have the original Predator case that was made by Instroke (in JB dayz). I got the vinyl version of it, and I still love it and use it often. This case is everything a case should be; only the pouches need updating for longer jump cue butts and extensions. A 3x5 version would be great (I think I saw years ago Bustamante with a 3x5 prototype that was never sold to the public).

Not Black, but I know I've seen a black version. You can also send him the material you want, and if it will work he will make it.

The OP's case is a common one I've seen a lot. Recently on marketplace $15.
