You all need to ask John why he doesn't do that test with the entire exterior on the shell. The reason is what you see doesn't happen with the exteriors in place. Take your justis when its top is closed, and squeeze it. The combined material thickness' and the gap in between the top and case exterior act as a cushion. When your pro-lite falls from a standing position, I guarantee Johns video claims are false. Will they vibrate, and possibly shake. Sure, but it is nothing like Johns video. Johns video is nothing short of a North Korean propaganda film, possibly made by the same company.
Well if you think this is true then I can send my Justis to the maker of the film. I don't know how you can possibly claim to know what happens inside a case in the few seconds that it bounces on the floor. It's impossible to see this with the naked eye which is why we did the super slow motion video.
I think you are speculating about what "acts as a cushion" and what doesn't. Are you an engineer Joe? I am not. But I know that what acts as a cushion is material that is made specifically to cushion. Foam rubber was developed to dampen vibration and minimize movement. So it's really easy from my perspective, the more foam rubber around an object the more it's cushioned from impact.
Our video shows what happens with just thin nylon, as what Jack used in his cases until the Chinese supplier decided to change it to minimal padding in 2010. So from 2006 to whenever Jack changed to the slightly better interior all those ProLites have only thin nylon for about 27 inches of the 31 inches of tubing.
Jack has told his customers that the newer interior is unneccesary. I don't agree. I think that the Chinese Sport interior is MUCH better than the Pro-Lite nylon interior. Still not as good as ours but better than the original one.
Now, for what it's worth I didn't identify any brand of case in the video. I hope that it leads people to think about what's happening in their cases a little more.
After all I saw a LOT of high end cues at the show. Cue makers spend a LOT of time figuring out how to put a lot of disparate materials together and people pay a lot of money for those cues. No one wants to see them damaged in any way. No dings, no finish bubbles, no hairline cracks, no sudden buzzes.
My point is that whenever shocks to the cue can be avoided then it's better. I mean you can say that you can drop a cue and nothing will happen and that's all good until something happens. I saw a lot of high end hardware pulled out of cases this show. I cannot imagine carrying around $5000 worth of cues on the HOPE that nothing will happen to my cues if I should hit a pothole.
How many people think your case falling over is a common occurance? Really, you must be playing in a special needs pool room. Or that "disaster" piece in the front. TOTAL unmitigated horse manure.

You can call Jerry Olivier and ask him if you think that people don't ever have their cues falling out of a case. You know Jerry Olivier the cue maker, American Cue Maker's Association member? 20+ years making cues.
His # is 281-996-8030 Ask him what happened when he wanted to show me a new cue he just delivered to a sponsored player. Or maybe you think he is on my payroll and will lie for me?
The thing is Joe that no matter how much you continue to deny the truth people are able to see it for themselves. I am more than happy to dissect our cases and compare them to Jack's or anyone else's.
I will be happier when we don't have any protection advantage. When all case makers are doing protective interiors then we can compete on the other aspects like beauty and ergonomics and practically and custom options.
