Shorter cue case?

[misspentoldage]

A friend of mine has found he can't fit his current cue case into the boot of his new car and is looking for a shorter one to carry two sections of a three quarter cue plus a screw-on extension and a mini butt. I think the answer may be a 3 channel case. I've seen some Peradon ones at John Parrot's site. Will they do the trick? Any other options?

Couldn't you measure the boot.

The budget option is to wind the back window down. ; )

B&W Billiards used to have a three channel, short case but they are out of business now

I got Snooker Warrior to make me a leather case that was measured for the length of my pool cue 3/4 shaft precisely for the same reason as your friend, for ease of transportation around the league venues, when squashed 4-in the back of a small car


May be worth a quick call to Stu Green at GBL to see what cases he is soon getting in, you never know he may have something

on ebay there are a few "wide" 3/4 cases; the important measurement is the length of the 3/4 shaft (including joint thread) and the internal length of the case.

Easiest 3/4 case I've had for transport was a leatherette tube case.

These don't look bad for the money

Well, my friend got his cue from Stu as I did and I see GBL has got some new 3 section cue cases coming so that may be a good shout.

I think this one is just too long for his boot.
