If looking at synthetic cases, I would be looking at cordura type nylon instead of vinyl by a huge margin. I could see someone building one out of black "ballistic" nylon with Molle loops for accessory pouches, straps, handles, etc. You could make a whole line of modular cases and accessories this way. I am surprised nobody has. JB could build you a custom order like that I am sure.

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).

They were frozen. I really doubt Corey's shot would be deemed a foul in today's game, but how such shots were interpreted in 2002 is a different matter.

I cant see the link because I currently don't have FB due to being hacked, which model is it? I have a friend looking for a 9' table.

Just went to the link. It is an eight footer, definitely needs some tlc.

If the back isn't lined, checked for exposed leather (suede). Pleather melts when exposed to flame.

If you could get RKC interested, he would know.

Bump

If the players go at the game with the attitude of, "Screw him before he screws me," that's true. Maybe a change of attitude is needed.

The International Open is played with the strict rules and mostly no ref at the table, and somehow the players manage. Maybe they have the right attitude towards the game.

Have you played lots of pool leagues or tournaments? Good luck making everyone angels

I am trying to find out more info on my Huebler. What do the 2 dots mean? Estimated value? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

I use a dry lubricant and then my electric polisher to really make the bed slick. The headstock glides smoothly on the bed as do the cross slides.

What is it you use? I would love to find a dry lubricant that works as good as oil.
