Wondering if anyone has come up with a good way to keep stored extra shafts organized, ideally, something that slips on and stays put and can be written on.

Not a big fan of, for instance, painters tape.

Any suggestions appreciated.

joint protector and circular sticker.
 
If your info won't fit on a sticker on j/p's, a strip of Tyvek or similar material that resists tearing could be sandwiched between the shaft and protector. Write on it with a marker, poke a hole in the end for the j/p pin, and screw it on.
 
shaft condoms - markers

thx PK and DH for your suggestions.

I did get another suggestion from az member nine o nine (Mitch) that I looks like will do nicely for me. He suggested to use the fingers from medical gloves, slip them onto the shafts and write the info on that I need. It works fine.

You can use all the fingers except the thumbs which are a bit large. All the other fingers slide on snugly and will stay put.

I can make these look nicer (you can tell which ones I cut with scissors and which I just pulled off) but I really don't care, they'll be stored inside cases.

Thanks Mitch for thinking of this cheap and easy solution. :cool:

google "finger cots"

they come in different sizes but they might be too thin or short for your use...

I tried a few this morning, the first one tore but he second one rolled on ok.

They're cheap and available at your local drug store/pharmacy

Roll a small cone of paper that's wider than the tip but not as wide as the collar, leaving a little extra to write on, tape it together and slide it on the tip end. By the time you get to the collar, it'll be a snug fit.

I was going to suggest a post-it note held with a small rubber band near the joint collar.
 
Would there be a market for joint protectors that incorporate a flash drive or somehow store a cues info by some other electronic means?

That's okay chicken, thumbs aren't fingers, anyway!:rolleyes:
 
Brian.
I have a Brothers handheld label maker that I use for lots of things.
It should work perfectly when applied lengthwise to a cue shaft, or a butt, for that matter.
As for removal, they peel off easily and leave no residue.
I got mine at Office Depot for about $35. :smile:

I don't know why I can't stop thinking about a solution for this but I swear this will be my last one...

I think the cots are going to be too short and too thin but how about party balloons? There's got a to be a size and strength that will solve this for you.

Aside from that I like Tramp's idea..

Best to all
