does this affect long term storage of shafts ?

[kamdaswani]

ok, i have 3 methods of keeping my cues ..

1. the Zero cases ( they lie flat )
2. 1 x 2 cases ( they are upright )
3. hanging them by rubber grips ( http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=105003&highlight=shafts+sale )

now my question is, since the Zeros are 4 x 8, i have to Velcro the top half so the cues don't fall.. this is causing the foam to take on an odd shape .. no such issue with the bottom half.

will that affect the shafts ? or since the wood is obviously firmer than the foam, will they just stay straight ...

i actually rolled all my cue shafts this morning and the only one with slight roll was the tasc but that was there when i got the cue so that has nothing to do with the case ...

any thoughts ?

compression points

to clarify, the foam gets compressed at the point of the velco straps while the rest of it stays straight ... so it's : straight, compressed, straight, compressed and straight....

Kam, for me, 1x2's vertical. I have a 12x24 and a 4x8 Zero and I set them up on end as well.
