Biloxi Boy
Man With A Golden Arm
We evolve. At some points, I did not use a cue case -- just grab and go. I also used to grind my shaft with the old Scotch Brite green pads. Never saw a jp until in the 90's when I was told their purpose was to keep the insides of joints clean. Now I have them on all my cues because I think they protect the joints, etc.
