I am sure everyone who has owned a Justice case is regretting getting rid of them now. I saw one the other day on eBay in mint condition that sold for $4400.00 Looks somewhat similar to the last one I had Jack make me.

I met Jack twice and I also owned 6 of his cases, they were nothing but the best. He really took pride in his work.

Thanks for everyones response. I will start the search for a new case. Man, that sure is a nice looking case. That is pretty much what I am looking for. I have met John Barton a few times and he makes a really good case too. Thank you all for you time and now the search begins! Shawn

Since i have been out of shooting round balls with a wooden stick for 13% of a century and things have changed a lot....who makes really nice custom cue cases? I have owned a couple of Jack Justice cases, a Swift case, an Its George, a Porper and I think an Instroke case. What are some names...

I agree. There are a few that just want to draw a check, but the vast majority of VA employees just want to serve our active duty, veterans and dependents. I am gonna be sad to go, but its time for me to move on along!

Thanks Paul! I do intend on joining a local pool league. I think it is fun and a good way to meet new people since I have only lived here about 1.5yrs. The guy I bought the home off of put in a 200 yard shooting range so I can also blow off some steam shooting my pistols and also my long guns...

Thank you manwon. I think I am back to somewhat being healthy. I have been backpacking pretty regular, and I did a 25 mile hike this past weekend and it felt good to get out in nature. I am planning on doing a 250-mile section of the Appalachian trail in the spring and I am excited about doing...

I appreciate that! Nice looking place and I will definitely check the place out when I am there in December. Not 100% for sure if I will go with a Diamond bar table or a Predator...but I will definitely get me once of those nice perimeter lights!

Thanks Rusty! I think I am gonna just order a few different name brand of tips and start trying them all out, I will definitely order some G2 tips and give those a spin around the table to see if I like them! I used to like the hard tips, not sure if I will still like those or a medium tip.

I used to put on a lot of tips, ferrules and irish linen wrap for quite a few people back in Oklahoma. Quite a bit of stuff is still in my storage and I had 6 or 8 boxes of diff sized Lepro, Triangle, Kamui and a couple other brands of tips. Im heading back to Okla on Nov 1st because I have to...

Well....work/prison....its all the same...sorta! :ROFLMAO:

Thanks! I am actually on furlough (vacation):) right now. After I get to hit a few balls and get my stroke back I will be visiting the Springs and plan on playing some up there too.

Man, I appreciate that! I have been super anxious about retiring. I gave it 110% every day for my vets and their dependents. I processed a lot of CH35 claims then went back to the GI Bill call center and absolutely loved the job....its just time for me to move on and start doing life for me...

I have not been around the pool scene for over 13yrs. I was living in Ft Gibson Okla. and just recently bought a new home on 3.75 acres and the additional 80 acres that was offered to me here just south of Ft Mitchell, AL which is just across the river from Ft Benning GA. I have been a...

I am looking for a cue I used to own. It is a Sugartree purpleheart cue with 2 shafts. The whole butt was purpleheart with brown linen buttcap and joints. Its been since about 2010-2011 since I owned this cue. I know its a long shot but if you have this cue or know who has the cue PM me...
