I just searched the thread for the words "learn" and "internet" and I can find no post where I said anything of the sort. But if we're at the point of the conversation where we're just going to insult each other, how about you learn the decades-old convention that grey UI items are inoperable...

I don't know. I'm not a wood or glue engineer, but I feel like you could have guessed that already. As an engineer I do know the difference between a quality and a quantity, though. I'm sure that knocks and vibrations aren't GOOD for a cue, but how bad are they? I don't know. You don't either...

A lot of cases look basically the same as your cases and the one I bought. If you say that yours is the original and the others are knockoffs, I will believe you. I suppose I was trying to make a distinction between AWARE of your cases and being FAMILIAR with your cases. When I was cue...

"Quantifiable" does mean that you can quantify the forces and damage involved. Saying "more padding offers more protection" is about qualities and not quantities. Maybe I am more keenly aware of this because I am a professional engineer. But whatever, my point in saying that you couldn't...

Again with this price range which I've already corrected in my original post. I didn't want to get into a whole thing with you about your price range, so I politely agreed with you that your products start at $80 and one of your cases that looks similar to mine costs $250. But if we're going...

I get it. You guys think I'm an idiot because I don't understand that more padding is better. I think you guys are idiots because I've been agreeing with you that more padding is better since the outset. Seems we're at an impasse, and I know which side I prefer to be on.

I'm sure the review will be interesting and I look forward to it, although I wish you would have saved your money. I imagine it will be largely similar to the review of the other Crical case you did, except for maybe the small differences in rivets and zippers.

What do you mean, "admit defeat"? What is it that you want me to admit defeat about, exactly? That having padding run the length of the entire case is more protective and better? I never said otherwise. That JB Cases are better? I never said otherwise. We're all on the same side here, and...

I've thought of a solution, or at least a stopgap solution, for me personally. I only carry around two butts and two shafts but the case has compartments for four shafts. I'm going to buy some foam cylinders and put them in the empty shaft compartments. The foam obviously won't prevent...

BTW thanks for doing this dissection. I assumed that the difference between my case and the one you tore down was just cosmetic (since they are sold as variants of each other on AliExpress) but it seems like my case is better built in a number of ways. The zippers seem to be of a different and...

Well, yes and no. The conclusion here seems to be "maybe it'll be a problem, maybe it won't be." I have no way to quantify the risk to me personally. I like my new $100 case. I've used it for two months now and my cues show no signs of damage. Are my cues being damaged internally? Maybe. Are my...

I assumed the padding inside my new case spanned the length of the case. I suppose you could say that was my expectation. Now that I know it doesn't, I'm trying to quantify how much that actually matters. Does anybody have any measurements on how durable cues are? How hard do you have to hit a...

Thanks, you've given me a lot to think about. Is there any way to quantify how big of a problem it is for me to continue using my new case? On one end of the spectrum, maybe all the inlays in my cue come unglued and pop out the next time I go to league night. On the other end, maybe there will...

I see. The reason I picked $250 as an upper bound is because when I was shopping for a new case, I was seeing models for under $250 that were clearly inferior and models for over $250 that were clearly superior. I will be the first to admit that I didn't examine every model of cue case from...

What is it you think I've doubled down on, and what do you think I'm wrong about? I've QUESTIONED the practical value of having padding run all the way down the interior compartments. How can my QUESTIONS be wrong? hkstyle has helpfully posted that he has had cues damaged in cases without...

Reminder: you told me nothing useful. "Listen to other people" is a useless thing to say. Several other people have contributed useful information to this thread. You have contributed nothing. Also, "he gets what he gets"? What is it you think I'm getting, exactly? Useful information being...

Note that in my original post I claimed that the case seems comparable to anything i've seen in the $200 to $250 price range. From your web site I see that you only offer one (?) case for less than $250 and it's out of stock. Almost all of your cases cost much more. So I never claimed that this...

I'm definitely concerned about my cues being damaged and would be curious to know what damage might occur. Do you have pictures of cues that have been damaged by external impacts to hard cases? Now that I think about it, for the first ~10 years that I was playing pool, I used a 1x1 cue case...

Thanks for letting me know. Never would have thought that cues could get damaged this way, considering that they're being stabilized by the padding and there's fabric between them. What did the marks and dings look like? Do you have pictures? So far I've been using my new case for about two...

I suppose one way of looking at it is: if those 6 inches of padding are providing THAT much protection, imagine how much protection you would have if the whole thing was padded. Another way to look at it is: those 6 inches of padding are providing so much protection that adding more protection...
