What to Know Before You Buy
It's hard to go wrong with any of the pool cue travel cases we offer at Billiard Factory. However, there's no doubt that some options are better suited for your personal needs than others. Make sure to take a look at the following tips before making your purchase.
Different Types of Cue Cases
There are a few different styles of cases, each with its own set of pros and cons. Here are some of the most common types:
Soft Cue Cases
A soft cue case is more lightweight and flexible, making it easier to store when it's not in use. However, This option is also not quite as protective of your cues while in use, which means you don't want to store them for a prolonged period in a soft case.
Hard Cue Cases
Hard cue cases are made out of tougher, stiffer material and offer greater protection to your pool cues. That said, they can be trickier to deal with when it comes time to stow them away.
Case Sizes
You'll notice that we offer an array of different cue case sizes, ranging from 1x1 to 4x8. Those numbers do not indicate inches or feet, however. Instead, they represent the number of butts and shafts that a given case can hold.
A 1x1 case holds one butt and one shaft, while a 4x8 case holds four butts and eight shafts. Cases like these can be highly convenient for storing multiple pool cues.
General Use for Pool Cue Case
Pool cue cases are designed to help you bring your personal cue along with you when you need to travel to play. Soft cases are pretty much strictly for quick transportation. In contrast, hard cases can be relied on for longer storage periods. Larger cases can also help you bring an array of combinations so that you can get the perfect cue based on whatever pool table you may be shooting on.
