Case and cue storage

[Sandripool]

Hi guys,

I've been reading this forum a lot, but I don't see specifically what concerns me. I just received a new cue after a long time waiting, and I also bought a new case, specifically a Peradon 3/4 leather.
In my club I only have the possibility of storing the case in a completely vertical position, so the discussion of whether it is better or worse to do it horizontally is over.

To the point, when placing the arrow/shaft in the case, it does not rest completely on the base, the tip area is left exposed without contact (I understand that this is also due to the conical shape that it has by nature) but then when I close the case, the lid part exerts pressure on the shaft so that it does not move, so my question is if on one side it is not in contact with the base and on the other it receives pressure from the lid, that will affect a possible deformation over time? Or is it my paranoia?

It is the first case I have seen that does not have a straight base, but rather is like a kind of flexible sponge and quite irregular in terms of straightness. I also see that the dividing walls are very low.
I'm giving you the link to the official website so you can get an idea, and if anyone has this case, please give me your opinion about it.

I don't think there's anything to worry about Sandra, the case should cater for the taper and have narrowed lanes to each end so the cue fits quite snug and is protected what ever way it stands etc.

As long as it doesn't get left on an airport tarmac in the rain like John Higgins cue did, I'm sure if stored in a dry location it will be fine.

You have a 3/4 so a lot less worry in terms of warping than a 1 piece.

I wouldn’t have thought it was a problem. Never used one of these leather cases but surely the way they’re designed is that the interior moulds itself round the cue to hold it secure?
Personally I can’t see past the Cue Craft cases.
