So that's what that silly "window" is for......the only reason people use 2 piece sticks is because they don't need a sun roof to transport them.
If you match up but don’t have your cue but have a good tip and straight one piece off the wall what do you need to feel even, all things being equal?

If the guy is a sucker, who cares. But if it is an even game the off the wall cue could make all the difference for you to lose.If you match up but don’t have your cue but have a good tip and straight one piece off the wall what do you need to feel even, all things being equal?
Yes, some sandpaper or some type of tip tool to shape the tip is usually required for a house cue. Additionally, a piece of scouring pad or steel wool pad ( plain, not one with the soap in it) rubbed over the house cue shaft section will remove all the built up grime on the cue and help it glide thru your bridged hand. That is all I ever needed to carry into a bar or pool hall if I was planning to go with a house cue- sometimes carrying a full piece of good chalk as well.

Long long ago when on the road you never drug out a hinged cue to start with. You might consider it if the other guy had one and the stakes were high. I played off the wall for ten years, never toted my own cue to play with. Didn't seem to matter once you got used to playing off the wall. A little scotchbrite or sandpaper, a brad tool, and you could make most splinter factories play OK.
I have a 3x5 case since I often left the hall with more cues than I came with. Sometimes I deliberately leave it home and just stick the sandpaper and brad tool in the watch pocket of my jeans. There is a lightness and freedom stepping into a pool hall like that which just isn't found toting three butts, five shafts, enough tools to repair a passenger jet, various slip and slides, maybe a few aiming gadgets and stroke trainers. I was considering wheels, a battery, and an electric motor for my cue case when it struck me it might be time to lighten up a bit. I still think the power wagon to put your big case on could be a money maker the same for a golf bag toter.
