You're welcome Possibly. There are many variants and many manufacturers. It's entirely possible that "Crical" is a brand name made up by a distributor who had cases made in several factories. Possibly. Unlikely though as zippers are one of the main ways that the cheap case makers save...

Well yes that's basically the entire thing. When you have cases that allow cues to rattle and move them the integrity of the cue is at more risk than when the cue is well padded. Maybe, maybe not. Your tolerance for risk is your choice. I had a room owner tell me that the the extra padding...

I am just waiting for you to start publishing year books so I can collect them and have all the stats handy. I would gladly fund a website project for you to fill up.

No. You could quite literally toss your cues in the back seat with no container at all and drive the Dakar rally and though the endless combination of physical interactions the cues could could survive 100 runnings without a scratch. The amount of risk you want to subject the cues to is...

I think pretty much the only person who likely has the full record is At Large who maintains a database of stats and usually shows up in threads like this to correct anything inaccurately said.

Well, they could but they won't because the inclusion of padding at the top of the cavities creates an illusion of protection and implies that it extends the full length. I have ever seen some of these cheap cases where the interior simply stops completely about halfway down. Mostly i see them...

And the one time that Dennis won Shane had him beat pretty badly and missed one nine ball that allowed Dennis to start coming back. To Dennis' credit be fought hard from that point and could have easily lost. The only other time Shane lost from being so far ahead was against Alex. Kudos to...

Four games difference after 236 games. You have every right to flip it and go again. You are exactly as hungry and skilled as Shane was at your age. The pool world has many stories of the old lion and the young lion clashing. Look up the story of the Boy Wonder, Willie Hoppe challenging the...

In fact we do sell an interior that would works for this particular knockoff and it would definitely improve the internal protection. The only thing we need is the measurements of the tubing used to be sure we are delivering an interior that will fit. Since you mentioned it I will probably do...

The typical damage that occurs when cues rattle excessively is generally internal. The whacking breaks the structure and causes the glue to come loose. Sometimes the damage is able to be seen when the joints develop small visible cracks in the finish. Sometimes it manifests in damage to the...

My dissection and review of the Crical case. This way consumers have both the impression of the original poster and the opinion of the originater of this style from which this knockoff is based. For context I purchased this case months ago and just hadn't gotten around to doing the...

Actually, our cases range in price from $80 to $2000. A JB Case in a similar style to yours runs about $250. https://jbcases.com/cases-for-sale-instock/rugged-cases/2x5-3x4-ultimate-rugged-3795.html I can only speak for myself regarding the content of your review. I certainly don't think you...

The case is not comparable to the JB Cases at any price level. Perhaps comparable to some other brands but I can tell you today it's absolutely not comparable to ours. The thing about recommending cases is that I feel a person is vouching for the protection but not willing to take...

I haven't gotten around to doing a tear down of the crical case yet. But to answer your question in general; many of the cheaper cases use a little padding at the top where you can feel it and they switch to thin fabric about six inches down which allows your cues to essentially bang against...

I don't know about it. We built a three bucket cleaner that worked pretty well. I sold it and I shouldn't have. But essentially bucket one was cleaning the balls, bucket two was waxing and bucket three was polishing. I put an piece of carpet jutting out from the side to agitate the balls...

Because I am more outspoken about things than some people think is appropriate. On AZB some of those people feel a need and compulsion to LIE about me and then get upset when I vigorously defend myself against those lies. On Facebook I am expected to literally "shut up and sew" as the OP...

From 2021

Fair enough. I bet we have a lot more in common than differences.

We have had customers that have asked us to make 2x4 interiors for 3x6 tubes and 3x6 for 4x8 tubes in order to get even more padding between the parts. We actually make many different interior configurations on request. This one was made with an special cavity to hold a long slip-on cue...

What you call bashing I call informing. When you look into the interior and all you can see it and feel is a few inches into a 32" long cavity don't you think it is important to KNOW what you are sticking your cue into? Would you expect that the liner would go completely to the bottom and that...
