Tube style or Butterfly style case?

Personally, Im a tube case guy. They provide great protection, and are stronger against crushing type damage. That said, they are several times heavier than options such JBs interiors.
John Bartons Ultrapads are best in class in terms of protecting cues. They pretty much surround the cue in padding, and are very light compared to pvc tubes.
Im a big guy, and dont care about a couple extra pounds. If you are going to be carrying your case from the house to the car, car to the pool hall etc, most people dont complain about the weight of the tubes.
If you are playing tournaments where you are at a venue all day having to walk around a lot while carrying your case, the lighter weight options are a no brainer. :thumbup:

That looks great. I need one like that.
Tube style. I wish I had my Fellini case black with full quill Ostridge leather. Sold it on Ebay 20 years ago. Wonder what that would be worth today. Sold that along with my 2.0' long focalized walrus penis.

I know they don’t protect as well but I prefer the butterfly just because of weight. I have skinny shoulders and a day of carrying my jack justis and my shoulder was killing me When I played with fancy customs it made me a little nervous but now with just predators in my bag if something happens its simple to replace.

When I used a justis I upgraded to jb’s interior and it was the best thing I did lol
