If there is anyone out there interested in a very nice case John Hager makes a very nice case that keeps your cues very very secure. Here is the link to his web page, check it out.

There is quite a few of cases to choose from , you will not be dissapointed if you get one....
 
I gotta tell you, he's got an uphill battle.

Not saying they're not "nice cases", but for the same money I can have a sweet Whitten, Swift or OnQ, and for a little more $ a gorgeous Murnack.

These Hager cases have an accessory pouch strapped on with 6 nylon straps and girdle-style shoe laces? That's, ummm, different. :eek:

On one hand I'm glad that he didn't just copy the "Cowboy-style" case with 2 rows of rivets down the back. But exposed shoe laces holding on my junk pocket?? There's no way that withstands the test of time. Not to mention cheap looking --- and fugly, IMHO.

Well, thanks for the generic advertising. Since you're not selling anything particular, or offering AZers a discount, this is just a FREE AD, right?

There's no up hill battle ! These cases are the ""Tank"" of cue cases .
Anytime I go out with mine there's always an offer to buy it !!

I will second this. I have owned a Hager case for several years now, and there is no case better for protecting your cues. In fact, I was just thinking about calling and trading for a newer model. His design is much better now than when I purchased my case.

The only drawbacks (then) were the pouches and the weight. The pouches on the new one look alot nicer, and hopefully John has done something to get the weight down just a little.

they are right,no uphill battle.he has already sold thousands and they are better than all the cases you listed.they are 100% airtight and bullitproof.they are a little different and i don't like the pouche idea,but technically they are better cases than the rest.
 
Well, OK. Since you guys own one of these - girdle-straps and all - I accept your assessment.

I still say that pouch set-up is fugly, but it sounds like the overall construction is better than the pouch would indicate.

Fine. When I'm wrong, I admit it!

(But I will stick to my Murnack :D )

Von,if you can get over the marsupial pouch or don't need one and can take it off,you should try one of these cases.they are really nice and they create a vacuum like seal for your cues.you can also drive a truck over the case and it won't break.occasionaly you can find a used one in the southeast at a decent price but most people keep theirs.if i find one with a good price tag i will Pm you.
 
I've owned one since he first started making the cases. It is the best case I've ever owned. My case was much lighter than other cases that I've felt. Just my opinion. Casey

P.S. Besides building a Great Case, he plays a mean game of 1 hole.
 
casey,i had one of the old ones too and it was light,but the new ones have solid blocks of wood on the ends and they are heavy like a Whitten maybe or even a little heavier.

Hey Mason,

I'll bring mine to the poolroom. I bought it about 4 or 5 years ago. It's pretty heavy as well.

i had one about 7-8 years ago maybe longer when he firts started.the top and bottom were plastic as well and it was lighter than the new ones.
 
Those pictures on his site leave a ton to be desired. I just priced a loaded Justis, a 3X6 at $815. Granted, as I said, it was loaded, but I'm always looking for a new alternative. For someone to get me to cough up $400 though, it has to be highly recommended, extremely well photographed, and touted by folks that I respect beforehand. Now if he's offering a limited customer approval period like www.westerncue.com does with cues, I might leap. In the meantime, as Von said, I'll stick with my Murnack...Tom
