What's in your case?

[Greg M]

I love seeing equipment threads, and there hasn't seem to have been one like this in a while, so I thought I'd make one. So what's in your case? Essentials? Funky equipment? Anything's welcome.

2: One-piece aluminium case
3: 6" ebony mini butt

Are you not worried about it warping in your car?

 

[maha]

hasnt yet. not in 50 years. through heat and snow and from 120 degrees to 40 below zero.

good seasoned wood shouldnt warp.

I broke out my old late 80’s McDermott last night in the garage with the kids. It needs a new shaft but it still plays really good so I get what you’re saying.

I played with a McDermott for years (mid-80s). I was so used to it, that when traveling thru Milwaukee and a pimp swiped it out of my unlocked car, I actually drove around looking for an hour until I finally saw him on the street still carrying it. Talked him into selling it back to me for $10!

Same here. My cue has often been left in my car in Canadian summers at plus 30c and winters at minus 30c. Never an issue.

I’m always surprised how many have personal experience with warping a cue. My Suspicion is that it’s ‘someone said that someone said that....’.

Reminds me of my younger years in the Air Force. Fresh out of basic training and in Denver for school I went to a nice shop in the downtown area to get me nice custom cue. Played with it and really liked so I bought it...fast forward a few months and graduated from school and flew it home for my first leave and pulled it out of the case and it looked like a cue from a WC Fields movie. Lol. I can laugh now 40 years later, but it was catastrophic at the time.

In my case, I have my old McDermott from the early 1990's. It's my go-to player. I've bought other, and arguably "better" cues over the years, but I'm just most comfortable with my old McDermott.
She's got a beautiful dark stain wood butt and black leather wrap.

Sounds similar to mine, bought mine in the mid 90s.

I always carried a small zip lock bag or small container of baby powder for humid conditions, along with a tip scuffer/shaper & a piece of # 4 brown bag paper for cleaning the shaft,along with the cue & chalk. I also used to keep a $100 dollar bill stuffed way down in the bottom of the case,just in case i went busted out of town on a road trip. It was a bear to get it out of the case,usually had to fish it out with a small stick with a piece of chewed gum on the end of it but I you needed gas & a meal to get back home it was worth the struggle, can't tell you how many times i did that,needless to say I wasn't real successful on the road but I had to go out of town to get played with because i couldn't beat anybody in my town,Jua Sayn' LOL !! One old road player i knew always carried a "boulder"(big cue-ball) in his case & would try to sneak it into the game whenever he had action ( his game upped 25% with the big ball ) !!

While it may seem like overkill in the shaft department, there is a method to the madness. Two of the shafts are stock, with ivory ferrules, that play slightly different, despite the same specs, such is wood. The darkest shaft is an old Falcon shaft that, when mated with this cue, plays and feels exactly like a Tim Scruggs cue I had. I also have three shafts with a conical tapers, two with 13mm ferrules and at 11.75mm. The smaller shaft was modeled after a 314/2, though in solid maple. Each shaft creates a specific feel with the cue. Not all tables roll the same, sometimes my game is slower, different games require different cue ball reactions, etc... I find it easier to suit the shaft to the situation. If I was a better player, I would probably only need one shaft. I almost always use a full 13mm with a conical taper.
