Which cue case......

allows you to put the butt end of the cue in first. This way the cue can be put aside for a bit without breaking it down or just leaning it against a wall. Which brands allow this? thanks.

you can do that with an instroke,but it is not very stable.
i usually hang onto my cue or break it down if i have a long wait,less chance of damage.

Guiseppe cases allow this and I used to do that with mine until I saw someone get their cue snapped in two when their case got knocked over. Best advice is to put it away if you aren't going to shoot for a while.

I used to put my cue in the 4-cue rack with my teammates, until I noticed that when they get irritated with a bad shot or a loss, they put their cues in less than gently. Because I have a Uni-loc joint, I take my cue apart between games and slide it in the case. Since it only takes a couple of seconds to put it together, it's no big deal.

thats the big advantage of uniloc,and if you want to you can easily change shafts in the middle of a game.
i played against a guy who changed shafts for masse shots,worked well.
