Pad of pool table diagrams for recording shots
Alcohol pads for cleaning the cues

Usually a bridge head but I lost my last one.
 
Schon stl-7 with three shafts, at the moment I'm using a Schon IV shaft. Triangle tip and I don't shape my tip. I take the advice of a fellow who used to post here named Tom Ferry and I let the chalk shape the tip.

I bought a glove recently and I like it, finally stopped using the powder.

1 small package of napkins to dry my tears (dealing with the fact that i'll never be a pro hurts)

i make sure all that's in my case and then i go to the pool hall and play everyone that's willing to bet something

(by something i mean table time)
 
I carry a 2x4 hard case around but I recently changed up my equipment so a 2x3 would really be optimal.

-Playing cue w/ 2 shafts
-J/B cue
-Hand towel
-Q-Cloth (I actually carry this around in my back pocket during play and use it before almost every shot. Dunno how it started but it helps my pace and I really does keep my shafts clean!)

Also in my bag, but used sparingly:

-A Q-Wiz - only for house cues when I'm playing with a friend without a cue
-Willard's (Nickle), The Sandman, and a nail file I cut in half with 400 grit on one side and 800 grit on the other (only use these when I see the shine on the tip, or again, on house cues)
-Moose Head bridge attachment

I guess since I'm a student I forget about these things, but after I graduate, I'll probably also put these in my case:
-Chewing gum
-Master Chalk
