Yea. The best thing you can do obviously is try someone else’s. Most people at a pool hall are happy to let you shoot a few shots or even a game. I love letting people try my cues.
I’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.
I made the shot once…well, almost. The angles were perfect and it was rolling straight to the corner, except the cushions on my table are dead and it stopped an inch short. Still felt great. The whole room erupted in high fives even though it didn’t go.
