Hello,

My current case is a fairly run of the mill 3X6. Unfortunately, my 3 cushion cue is too fat to fit into this case. I am in the market for a case that will hold:

fat 3 cushion butt +shaft
player +shaft
break cue

I have seen folks with cases that zip open and split in half. They have sleeves to hold. Seems those would be fat enough to hold the 3 cushion cue, and my others of course.

Does anyone have any recommendations for this type of case, or an alternative that would work? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

hi !
those are "butterfly" cases , imho a good choice if not the best for fat carom butts. You can find 2x4 , 3x6 & 4x8 , but the most used are 4x8 .

Here (Europe) , 4x8 butterfly cases are far from all the most used by carom players to carry more than 2 butts. i rarely see 3x6 ...

Since i play both disciplines (carom/3C/balkline/1C & 14-1 /10/9 ) , i carry my cues in a 4x8 butterfly case (usually, 2 carom butts/ 4 shafts , a pool butt/1 shaft , a B/J 1S , and a jump cue 1S.)
got multiple 4x8 , mostly cheap, but for 2 years my daily case & my favorite is the "wagon" JB 4x8 butterfly .
Even if my carom butts (i carry 2) do wear silicon wraps , no problem with the internal sleeve of the JB. tight fit, need to put the joint down , but excellent protection, so....

Note than an advantage of the JB is that once it's full , it can stand vertically by itself. i like that. Euhh , leather JBs aren't cheap, but they are the best , to me , IMHO. They exist in a nylon version , cheaper but not low end :).

Other than the JB, the cheapest (porper, buffalo, adam ...) will do the job . no need to pay more than 80-90$ if you need a functionnal case only , else go for a JB. (an advice : don't waste your money on a predator case).

i would love to try a castillo 6x12 , they look good, the guy is super nice to deal with, 6x12 butterfly are verrrrrrrrrrry rare , but atm i already have too many cases :) , so ...
