Protecting your pool cue and equipment is important for both safety and ease of transport. There are two types of cases to choose from: hard cases and soft cases. Hard cases offer better protection, but are often heavier. Soft cases, on the other hand, are lightweight and often come with a strap for easy carrying. Some cases also have extra pockets for storing accessories and some can hold multiple cues. Choose the right case for your needs to keep your equipment secure and easily accessible.
