Here is my case
Thanks for this nice contest, John.
I thought I would hit a pool hall and take my pics there, but I won't be playing this week. so here are my pics taken at home.
1- my case and stuffs
My case is a butterfly signature case, I had to wrestle it off the hands of Chady from Taiwan (poolchady). John said it was designed by Karen and only 2 were made, one in black and one in brown. The JB butterfly line is really very functional, even though I dont carry many cues, I still prefer this to any of my hard cases (all JB's) as my daily traveling case, I simply can stuff anything I want in it.
You can see that I ordered a rugged sleeve for my Hager extension also.
The case came with a blue 4x8 interior, I recently ordered a modified black 4x6 interior from John, and use it as my daily carrier, as normally don't carry many cues.
And here goes what's inside the case:
- My main player is a Sugartree Bocote/BEM fancy sneaky. superb player. I use a black collar sugartree shaft with it just to keep 2 original shafts unhit
. the tip on it is ZAN medium, great tip also.
- My breaker is also a Sugartree, with Koa handle and core, butt forearm and sleeve are Rosewood, the shaft is fat (close to 13.5mm), tip is Samsara break tip. this is a badass break cue.
- My jump cue is a Lomax, all original Lomax, best jump cue imo
- I have a Hager extension and have a rugged sleeve for it to carry outside of the case
- Maik Halmer personalized set: cue rest, ball marker and chalk holder, engraved "tcuong" and I use Cosmo chalk
- I am short-sighted and I have a pair of glasses also, specialized for pool only
- Other stuffs are finger wraps, gloves and coins
Enjoy and good luck to everyone!!!
P/s: Jan 31st is the traditional New Year in Vietnam and China, I really really hope I will get a New Year's gift from John Barton
2- where I play most: Hanoi, Vietnam, but not daily now, 2-3 sessions a week
