Storing your cues

[nsafellow]

When your not using your cues how do you store them.

Do you leave them in your case

Do you assemble them and store them in a uprite rack

Do you assemble them and hang them to keep them straight

Do you store the butts in a rack and hang the shafts

Is there a proper way to strore them when not in use or does it matter?

I keep the cues I rarely play with in a Sterling Wave 4x8 case (with the UltraPad interior). No problems at all, and it's been a few years of doing it this way.

Cue Storage

I keep mine together & in an upright cue rack on the wall. No chance of getting bent or otherwise damaged that way. Or course I use mine almost daily in my basement.

I keep mine in upright cases. The cues that I don't have cases for I store in upright racks.

It's almost as important to keep your cues in a not too dry place as in a not too humid place...

Gena cue maker says screwed together and placed vertically on an "interior" wall, and should be played at least once a week.

I found an air tight, gravity proof case.

if you keep cues stored in a case in a temperature controlled room. The cues should be fine and safe from warping.

I have all of mine in cases in an interior walk-in closet in my office with a lock similar to this on the door:

I have O'neil dealer, Huebler, and other such large box cases as well as the largest tube case in existence (as far as I know):

Plus I have some more traditional tube cases, here are a few of them:

One box case that I made in the late 80's:

All my cues are stored upright.

don't think it matters if you lay them flat or upright if they are inside of a case.

According to Gina cue maker, the shaft is not a straight line. It's tappered so that when you lay it flat on a pool table, only the ends of the shaft touch the table, not the center. This allows for gravity to warp a horizontally stored shaft over time.

I just bought a Longoni case from a friend. It's a hard case made of extruded abs plastic. I sent them an email and said it needed a rubber o ring to make it air tight. Maybe next year??

if you have the cue stored inside a case and its not stored in extreme heat the cue will be fine if you lay the case horizontally. I have all my cues in a closet on a shelf with some cases laying on top of each other.

In my case standing upright in a closet unless I am headed out to play or headed back home from a room.

In that case they are horizontal in the case in back seat of car. Only for just the transit periods of @ half hour or so.

absolutely great cases! Jb interior is the very tops best in business! No case on market protects cues like johns!

I store mine in Porper cases and they are stacked on top of each other in controlled temperature.
