The only issue is the mfgers getting the ball to stay put.

he “natural angle” is for a rolling CB. It is the easiest to predict and control.

I learn pool with mostly <=3-minute YouTube videos and revisiting those videos. I blame some of my wrong understanding to that for my thinking that the most common CB rebound is it moving tangent to the direction of object ball to pocket. I learned about avoiding scratches in this video but the important information for me is my revisiting something that was introduced earlier but finally got through my thick skull that the most common CB rebound is at CB's natural angle---CB peace-sign angle from the direction the cue stick is pointing. This also coincided with my slow understanding that a helluva lot of pool-ball travel here is a rolling-forward cue ball.

View attachment 863049I’ve been looking for a while and finally found what seems to be a perfect cue case shipping case. It’s made for a graphic banner stand and fits a case or two perfectly. The quality is on par with what you find with your standard suitcase. Cost is $150.

So are you talking about shipping it via FedEx/UPS or do you mean checking as baggage on a flight?

I have a one-of-a-kind Jackpot that I may let go for $30,000.

It would take some sweet talking though.

Not interested.

And yet, nobody has a picture of it. Also, the cue Lassiter mainly used was a Tad, not a Bushka.

Instead of using the CB use a striped ball with the stripe running vertically. See if the stripe stays vertical as it rolls or if you have some unintended spin on it

I think you're really talking about some fancy Gus Szamboti cues with eight points, for example. Unfortunately, I think most of those belong in the collection of Lucky in Japan. Good luck getting him to sell. Otherwise, a cue played by a famous player, maybe. But not likely.
