What pin is this

Here is a different angle if this helps any.
All you need is enough tubes and a dowel to prop the short one.The standard JB case pouch is too short for the propel jump cue (even when the butt is taken apart), even too short for my Rhino jump cue with the joint protector.
Very few cases are up with the times.
When you get a 4x8 soft case like most pros like these days then there is no issue, but if you like hard tubed case, options are very limited
The standard JB case pouch is too short for the propel jump cue (even when the butt is taken apart), even too short for my Rhino jump cue with the joint protector.I take mine apart and put the butt pieces in the side pocket on my JB. The shaft goes in with all the others.
I'm sure they could make you something.
Kinda splitting hairs but I understand what you’re saying. It is what feels good to you, what you’re comfortable with and allows you to perform at your best. Can one find a cheap production cue that fits that bill? Sure, occasionally they can, because it’s an individual thing and what fits and works for anyone is individual and unique, as we all are.better equipment does not make you play better.
better fitting equipment and more comfortable ones will do it. as long as the quality lends to good performance.
That Alpine looks exquisite.New European Goat wrap styles added at superiorcues.com. Smooth Select Black, Brown and Dark Brown. Alpine Grain Goat and Small Pebble Grain Goat. Split at .023-.024 thickness range.
This very select goat leather pictured here has a slightly supple/soft hand feel. It is used in the shoe and boot industry. Like with any smooth wraps you need to make sure your adhesive is free of lumps (which is why I recommend Top Bond contact cement WITH the reducer to keep your cement at a working consistency). These goat leather wraps are in your $28/$25 category. You can combine any of my MANY standard wraps to receive the $3 per piece dozen discount.

I've considered the stacked leather option as well.You can definitely seal and clear a linen wrap. Obviously it helps that the wrap is nice and clean and very tight. The looser the wrap, they more issues you potentially will have down the line.
Another alternative if you want that wrapless feel is stacked leather, that can be sanded incredibly smooth and poished to a high gloss.
Ryan is obviously the stacked leather boss, he's wraps are perfect!
Like Meucci.I have never finished over a linen wrap, I've "sealed" them with bullseye sanding sealer before. I am curious, do you mean finish over it with clear like meucci's? Or just seal it with some type of sealant?
My good golfing buddy and I play stymies sometimes, it adds a lot of fun Strat to the game at times. BRING IT BACK lol. At least for matchplay anyway. No good for stroke play/medal play tournaments.Yes, but the remove luck attitude exists in golf to a huge degree. To some extent this is why people love stroke play golf and boring or penal architecture. Match play with the stymie rule used to be the thing. Probably nobody here has played with stymies, I know I haven’t. Pros want no bad bounces and don’t want their paycheck to come down to playing a hole like 17 at TPC on Sunday. But how much more fun is it to play a match and have to deal with an “ unfair” quirky hole. To some extent both philosophies have their place, but the game is poorer when the no luck view is too strong IMO.
Pool is all match play and has defense. Those are positives.
But it doesn't matter if they want no luck and no bad bounces. There's not a single thing they can do to control it. When you me and 2 other guys are on a par 3 for example it's a different hole for all 4 of us, the wind will be different for all of us. You and I can land our golf ball 6" apart and get wildly different outcomes even if our trajectory and spin rates are essentially the same. It's part of what makes the game great.
