Pool cue cases

For anything serious like league nights or tournaments I use my JB Ultimate Rugged 2x3 with my Predator cues. The JB case is the best.
When I’m going out to a bar or a friend’s basement, (with big metal pole support in the way), I just bring this cheap case with a cheap cue with a Rhino carbon fiber shaft. $25 case, works fine.

They can make it looser if you call them. He talked about that possibility in a recent livestream.
I said the same thing about JB cases a few years back and got hammered for it, lol. Ironically, I have since been using an old converted bar cue as my break cue and it's much thicker than most cues and the spot I put it in has been stretched out a little. If I put a regular cue in there it's not as tight. Maybe get an oversized cue and "pre-stretch" it?
Take your pick.
The JBs are fine, the Instroke Cowboy is my fave for the length it can hold. The acme is a decent case as well.

To avoid the banging of butts ensure that you are pulling them all partially out and at least one should be bumper up.
1) why would you carry that many cues all the time 2)do you have shoulders like the Incredible Hulk. lol
All of the cues in my case have matching specs so switching cues is much easier since the cues play similarly.
When I open my case, I often choose a different cue than the last time I played pool. If one of my friends stops
by the pool hall on the way home from work or while running around doing errands, they know they can pick any
cue in my case to play with. But the main reason is if I carried a 2x4 or 3x6 case, I really don’t know which 2 or 3
cues I’d choose to carry. By the time I got to the pool room, I’d be thinking I should have taken both my Owen cues
or included my Scruggs. I have some great cues to play with and so I want them with me when I play pool.
Unless I am playing a match, I probably will play with 3 cues in the course of 3-4 hours. I play 8 ball, 9 ball and 10 ball
and 14.1 matches at the pool room. I often will change cues when playing match with a different format. Heck, the sole reason for having multiple cues is you get to play with them or else thin your collection since cues really aren’t art. A pool
was meant to be played with otherwise just go buy some posters of pool cues if you don’t intend to play with your cues.
