ive got a few cases that are 2x4 but im not really enjoying the size

im looking to either a 2x2 or 1x2
a small size like I can grip it in 1 hand

and I wouldn't mind at all having a nice fully tooled one either:)

any of you use these size cases
what brand do you recommend or case maker that makes this size

if you dont need a jump/ break cue
based on the type of games you play
a 1 butt 2 shaft case is all you need
i cant foresee why you would need 2 butts and 2 shafts if you dont need a break/jump cue..
maybe you could explain why you would want a 2x2

if you are thinking
one playing butt and one shaft
and a jump break with one shaft
i advise against that
if for some reason your playing shaft gets damaged you have no back up

no need I usually take 2 with me for no reason really, I just like options
no break cue
I have only pool cues atm and carom shafts I play on my pool butts

I have yet to damage a shaft so severely that id need a back up
im not a pro just a weekend warrior whos main game is 3c
im putting pool on the back burner

Dennis Swift will whip up a case and delivered to you in a months time approx. I guess the more detail would be longer. The guy has some serious skills, he has been around a long time.

I bought a katana 2 x 2 and its been working great. Tight fit, so you have to be careful to remove shafts before the butts. It has a compression lid which is hard to remove until you get the technique down. Affordable and minimalistic case.

I seen a elite that looks really nice
but a few reviews said that the tubes dont have liners?! and the cues can get scratched

whos got an elite to chim in?

really like the look and size of it
something I wouldn't have to worry about keeping pretty, dark colors
