Cue Sleeves

Do you think cue sleeves are sufficient ?

I do not carry much with me. Just 2 cues and chalk. I tried the hard cases and find them bulky and heavy. :frown:
 
eventually you are going to end up with dinged up shafts and cues. it's not about how much you carry. it's about protecting what you carry. my instroke case is heavy as hell but i have dropped it, had it bumped, fall out of the truck, and NOTHING has happened to my cues. i spent too much money and my gear means way too much to me not to protect it.
 
I have a leather 2x4 Its George, its a hard shell plastic case, and empty I'm guessing it weighs no more than 2 pounds.
 
Sometimes when I only feel like carrying one cue, I use my GTF Case. Very light. It might not be in your price range, but just telling you about other options you have in terms of cases. That case is pretty hard and secure too.

My first custom cue I carried around in a towel or a piece of blanket with a couple big rubber bands holding things together. Never put a mark on my cue. I think a soft case with a little protection is more than adequate if you are careful. If you slam doors on your cues or run over then with trucks then you might need a little more.

I'm always amazed and saddened when I hear about an adult claiming that a four pound pool cue case and two and a half pounds of pool cues is 'heavy'.

6 or 7 pounds is heavy? Pathetic. My grandmother is almost under 4'10", 95 years old, uses a walker and can still lift a gallon jug of milk (8lbs).

Exercise.

Just get a nice soft case. I have a few nice hard cases but I always carry a soft case, I like them better. I don't care for those big bulky cases. I see those guys and they spend half their time worrying and babysitting their expensive cases afraid they may get a scratch instead of playing pool.
"Wheres my case", "Don't touch my case", "My case fell over" and so on. I would rather toss my case under the table and play pool. I do like this style case though, maybe not that big.

Just cut the arm out of a jacket and staple one end together and get some duct tape for the other, it will be fine.
People will also praise you for your ingenuity and frugality.
 
No, just take your 6 yr old daughter with you to carry it :smile: Seriously no I don't think its enough safety first!
 
I have a 3X7 Instroke got hit by an I.E.D. in Iraq saved my cue's . Think of those extra pounds as a heavy protective investment. The weight is worth its weight in gold when you are trying to protect something Valuabe

Even at 20lbs, my point is the same. A reasonably healthy adult should be able to carry 20lbs more or less indefinitely--especially with a nice shoulder strap holding the weight gunslinger style across his back.

I thoroughly believe that this issue touches exactly on why so many people are overweight. We have here someone who is complaining about how heavy a cuestick case is when he probably walks maybe 300ft with it each time he plays pool. That is figuring that he walks from his house to his car, then from the car to the pool table and in reverse when he goes home.

So he and you are maybe holding this 'heavy' bag full of equipment for ten minutes a day.

Pitiful.
