Smoke drifted through the smoky light of the billiards hall as the sharp clack of struck balls punctuated dangerous conversations among cigar smoking toughs.'
The movie, "The Sting" with Robert Redford might have portrayed billiards something like this. Today however, family friendly billiard halls are more common. Many people even have a pool table at home and play with their families and friends. Billiards is even a popular spectator sport on television and it is common to find high quality pool cues and players in suburban neighborhoods where in yesteryear the best players frequented less savory locales.
While the exact origins of billiards are unknown, it is believed to originate in Europe. The name billiards has evolved from the French word billart, meaning mace. The long stick a drum major carries at the front of a marching band is also called a mace. So the pool cue was born of the mace to strike the balls in a game of billiards. High quality pool cues are tools of the trade for professional and serious amateur players, so keeping them in good condition is of concern. Pool cue cases are used to protect these expensive tools.
The best pool cues are those that separate into two pieces and are made of excellent hardwood. A cue is shaped in a taper from the butt end to the shaft and are usually made out of maple. The joint in the middle is constructed of metal or a polymer resin and the two pieces screw together. Pool cue cases are made to hold a disassembled cue, and keep the butt and the shaft from banging around and getting damaged.
A variety of pool cue cases are sold to maintain the quality of pool cues. McDermott's four leaf clover logo is familiar to billiards enthusiasts because of the company's high quality cues and equipment. McDermott sells pool cue cases that resemble a golf bag and even incorporate a two-legged stand for tournament play. McDermott manufactures soft and hard pool cue cases in vinyl, canvas and leather with prices that range from $20 for cloth soft pool cue cases to $240 for a hard leather case.
Pool cue cases are also made by cue manufacturer Joss. Joss offers two kinds of pool cue cases, a single and a double. The Joss pool cue cases are made of black vinyl and are free when purchasing one or two Joss pool cues.
Cuetec is another pool cue manufacturer that offers pool cue cases. Cuetec offers the best variety in pool cue cases among the manufacturers discussed here. They offer soft cases made of canvas, to hard leather cases that will hold single or multiple cues. Cuetec also offers a velvet sleeve to protect the finish of that expensive pool cue. Cuetec pool cue cases include single cue cases made of pebble grained black leather, with a hole for a butt and a shaft. This is priced at $128, while a leather nine hole Q-Safe that will hold three butts and six shafts is $96. Cuetec pool cue cases are lined with foam and fur to make sure that cues will not be damaged in transit.
So if the eight-year-old family pool shark challenges,' Ya wanna cross cues?', it may be time to turn off Turner Classic Movies. Just tell him, 'The balls know when you're broke,' rack 'em up and show the young whippersnapper who's the boss.
