Joint Protectors

They protect more than the cue.
If I didn’t have a JB case I’d use them.
I have a poison cue with a uniloc bullet joint. I didn't use JP for the first year I had the cue and suddenly I noticed that the shaft screws on a bit more than it used to. Both the shaft and the butt have the poison logo on the joint collar and at first those two were perfectly aligned, but suddenly they are not, shaft screws on a bit too much. So I got a pair of JP... I don't know what caused this or if the JP are actually doing something, but as others said, it makes it easier to take the cue out of the case, especially the butt..
It also depends on the thousands/millions of other (bad) drivers out there. That's why I always buckle up and use joint protectors... safety first boys and girls!
Please stop wearing it at all times.
I use joint protectors on my cues.
The only time I wont use a joint protector
is on a shaft that is wood to wood joint fitting.
Because it will cause the thread on shaft to wear out faster.
Causing lose fitting when putting cue together.
It will cost more to have shaft fixed than worth putting
protector on that type of shaft.
That just my opinion.

huh - never thought of that.
I can’t think of a reason not to use them.
I don't use them. Tried it once & found them to be an unnecessary PIA. Fumbling with gadgets & accessories doesn't appeal to me. In 30yrs of playing the game, I cannot recall a single time JP's would have saved my cue from damage. They do look cool, though, especially when they match the cue.
Had mine made by Steve Kornele. Has ready made or will make custom

Naw, you don't need 'em! lol
sweet - bookmarked. Glad you posted that.
Whether or not you "need" them is a personal preference. I wouldn't be without them.
I make my own usually. I really like some that real cuemakers make, it can add a whole
other dimension of artistry to your cue, some are really cool
