Has anyone heard any updates with what is going on with Instroke, their obvious lower quality trend and the overall availability of their cases? I really like their case design and butt / shaft layout for a 3x7 case but if I am going to continue to have quality issues with them I'll probably have to move to anther brand...
I think that they are slowly dying out, nobody wants heavy tubed cases anymore. And they do nothing to make them compelling to players in 2026.
If I was into a leather case these days, I would seriously look into Castillo or JB if you like his internal or Whitten if you still want tubes.
I prefer lighter materials over leather these days.
I find CueTec cases to be very good, both the soft and hard cases, not perfect and I hate the heavy branding, but quite functional and built well, maybe a little bit overpriced...
