Pool Cue Cases
Pool cue cases are recommended to protect your pool cue investment, and to allow you to transport your pool cue easily. Pool cue cases come in various shapes, sizes, colors and styles - from simple sleeves to more rugged, highly-padded angora deluxe pool cue cases.
Lightweight pool cue cases are recommended if you don't need or want ironclad protection, for example if you just need to get your pool cues from your house to your car to go to the pool hall. Lightweight cases are usually made of nylon, leather and Velcro with zippers. Lightweight pool cue cases can hold a single pool cue or multiple pool cues. Most quality pool cue cases come with adjustable carrying and shoulder straps and are heavily padded. Some pool cue cases are even fur lined. The cheapest models on the market usually aren't padded and don't have handles.
Harder pool cue cases are similar in style to lightweight ones, but they provide sturdier protection. Many deluxe hard pool cue case models are made of genuine leather and are very durable. Box-style is a hard pool cue case that has been around for a long time and is still very popular. Economically, box-style cases provide the best protection for your pool cues. Box-style pool cue cases are long, hinged boxes, usually made of vinyl or aluminum. Better quality hard pool cue cases come with inside shock absorbant padding, separate compartments for butts and shafts, and lockable latches. A fully insulated interior pool cue case will protect your pool cues against expansion and shrinking by allowing your pool cues to slowly acclimate to temperature changes.
The cheapest pool cue case available can cost as low as $5; while top of the line models can cost as much as $500. Sterling and Instroke are well known manufacturers of pool cue cases. There are also models made specifically for dealers that can carry up to 24 pool cues.
