The "Flight" Case
This interior is the nuts, to use a pool
term for those who don't know. That means it's the best. Why? Well
it protects from impact, some temperature change, abrasion, and
accidental removal. The parts are kept separate and secure. There
are those that say "protection isn't everything". I personally
wonder what they would say if their $2000 cue accidentally fell out
of their beautiful, but not overly protective, case and got damaged?
Of course everyone thinks it will never happen but life has a funny
way of making things happen that never should. So when I build
cases I try to plan for most eventualities and keeping the cue snug
and secure until willfully removed is one of the things I can do. I
could tell you a lot of stories about how folks had unusual things
happen to their cases, cases I built, and the cues came out
unscathed.
Some other case makers really don't care too much
about it. I guess I could be compared to the cue maker who is
always trying to improve the "hit" of the cues as opposed to one who
doesn't care too much about the hit and focuses on the look of the
cue.
With that in mind you can be sure that no matter what
surface decoration goes on a JB Case it's sitting on top of the best
protection in tube-style cue cases that exists today.
I
know most of you all are into the looks first - hey we are all into
our image. I understand that looks are very important. I just want
you to know that you don't need to worry about what's under the
hood. It's taken care of.
