what's going on YouTube today's video is
going to be in what's in my case and
what I am bringing to Vegas for the BCA
tournaments first let's go ahead and
start off with the case this is what I
will be bringing to Vegas this is my JB
case I've been using this for a while I
actually like this case a lot but this
is the case itself this is a six by3
meaning that it holds six shafts and
three butts so I have my YouTube channel
here one 12 f y AO and my sponsor horal
tips and another horal tips here you can
see that and then on the back side just
plain this is the single strap I didn't
do the backpack strap not really uh
planning to do the backpack strap don't
care for it but I have a towel to wipe
my cues down especially I'll wet this on
a big tournament so I'll this and then
I'll have it out then I can wipe my cues
cuz I don't wear a glove and this I have
my glasses this is actually for shooting
pool so if um I need to wear my glasses
I have glasses but I actually have
contact cleanses now but I don't really
wear them all day and so if I don't feel
like wearing my contact because they're
irritating I can go to my glasses or
just shoot without my
glasses I also have a cloth my wife gave
this to me when I was in Korea and this
is what I used to wipe my uh glasses so
let's go ahead and open up the case
itself and bring out the cues I forgot
to mention about this this is what holds
my truck and I have um this is a neing
magnet but this is a little strap and it
has my initials 12 fyo I'll hook it up
to my belt loop and then once in my belt
loop this is where my Chu goes I'll show
you how that works once I get the Chucks
out so let's go ahead and pull out my
cues that way we can see exactly what I
have and we'll go in detail we'll start
off with the plank queue bring it out
and the
shafts so this is my plain C this is the
one I made this is
a you can see this is Curly Maple but
this is torrified a lot of people say
it's kwood kwood is actually um
copyrighted trademark so it's the real
term would be Tori wood and then goes
into a bot in segments into three and of
course I try to line up all the the
lines the grains and it goes back to the
curly Maple tfy and all the whites are
ages and the pin itself is a copper pin
it's a radial I just cut down the the
roundness I don't like that roundness
and I make them flat this is how I like
it looks a little bit to me it looks a
little bit better it has a little bit
more flare to it but you can see how the
the ring work this is um a fiber ring
black then has a copper ring and then
has another black fiber ring and then
ages in the middle and it continues the
segments so you can see how the grein
patterns how they meet they all line
up and this is a one piece cord que
there's no no uh pin inside uh in the
middle between the a joint and the
handle itself so it's a one piece Maple
you can see this one's all dirty but
this is just a solid Maple it's um
5/8 it's 5/8 um Cory here and it's a one
piece and then I flare it out into a uh
three three and a 3/4 so
75 so this is 5/8 and this is 34 and it
goes all the way down to the section
where is the ages and of course I tap
all my cues to accept the Predator
bumpers for the extensions so that I can
use an extension when I need I hardly
use the extensions but when I need it I
have it I rather have it and and and not
use it versus when I need it and I don't
have it so let's go ahead to the
shaft this is my primary shaft this is
as you can see it's a lot darker as it
aged but this is also a curly maple
toried wood this the and I also built
this is 29 in long and you can see the
way I construct it this is a G10 this is
AES and this G10 is like a mushroom
where it stems all the way into the
shaft itself and of course I Hollow it
out for a low deflection I have a clear
pad just for the tips this one's also a
horo tip this one is the soft but the
thing is I press all my tips to make
them hard so regards to being a soft tip
I press them on I soak the tips I press
it and I make them a hard consistency
that way they don't mushroom out cuz I
play with hard tips and that's what I
like but this is a 13 mm on the diameter
of the tip and you can see it's like
almost like
a um where it doesn't it's not really a
Pro Taper but yet it's slim in the front
but it still climbs up and then it goes
into the back this is how I built my um
back end of the shafts as you can see
this one is plugged in so this is about
halfway almost half half the inch of the
the radial so it gets threaded into the
phenolic and it gets threaded into the
wood and that's how I like building my
shafts that way it's um folic and wood
and it bites into the wood itself that
way you get I feel that you get more of
a solid hit but this is Joint is um 840
it goes goes down and this is my backup
chea I used to have
a a carbon fiber for my backup and I say
I don't like the carbon fiber so cuz I
used to play with the carbon fiber and I
actually like um how the the kimwood or
the Tori wood feels this is also a curly
maple torrified wood and of course I
make sure they
match excuse me they match the length
and the the tip size this one's a little
bit fatter this is
13.11 but there also the same design G10
in the front agis in the Middle with a
clear pad in the front this one is a
medium horo like I said I also press my
mediums to make them hard that way I get
a hard tip and they they're more
consistent to me so it's also hollowed
than the front and I just put a joint
protector telling me which one is my um
backup and which one is my primer cuz I
don't really use joint protectors but
for Vegas I'll be
um installing my joint protectors
because I'll be packing my suitcase in
um I'll packing my cues in the suitcase
so this is the same way 840 on the joint
and of course this the same way on how
it looks so let me go back to the queue
that way I give you the specs for the
queue itself how much it weighs and I
got a little cheat sheet because I had
to measure everything out cuz I forgot
all the things so the queue ways the que
is 29 in long I don't have um I don't
like the 30 in try 30 in I don't like it
and it weighs 14.5 oz so the shaft my
Prim my primary shaft is also 29 in long
and it weighs
3.25 ounces and of course 13 mm on the
tip and my my backup shaft is also 29 in
long and it's
3.15 I couldn't get the same weight but
that
point one Z doesn't really can't really
tell the difference and this one is a
little bit fatter this is
13.11 mm so this is my plain q and this
is what I'll be bringing for and and
I'll be playing with these so let's go
ahead
into the brake
queue so this is my brake que and I'll
bring out the
shafts so the brake que this one is a
full carbon fiber brake queue this is
one also built I buil all my cues that
way I don't have no production cues at
all so this is all carbon fiber which I
like a lot cuz it's really stiff it has
no flex not like wood cuz you'll see
once I put the woods together you'll see
how it flexes and of course this one
stemmed inside this is a um brass radial
pin this this is stemmed inside all the
way inside that way it has a full
connect on the carbon fiber it's a hard
phenolic double linen
and some people say this is a jump brake
I was like no this is not a jump brake
cuz on the carbon fiber if you notice
you can't
tell where to grip the the que so I need
it somewhere for me when I break is
where I needed to hold it and like okay
this is where I need to grip it this is
like an indention an indicator for me to
hold my que and I just put like a white
stripe of course the double folic and
also I tapped this one to accept the uh
predator butt the bumpers so I can do an
extension but I'll never do that cuz you
I can make this into a plank que but has
a little white stripe that's the Hopey
ring and of course I signed it this is
my primary uh brake shaft this is when I
break when I'm on the table anywhere on
the table middle middle middle of the
table and I'm not breaking under the
rail I will use this for eight ball 10
ball and I don't really use it for nine
ball cuz I don't like using this for
Nall W but this is a a black storm and
you can see this is a G10 G10 goes also
stemmed inside and I could I made it
really thin that way it's all into the
carbon that's the G10 and then of course
the black storm that's the tip I use and
I love the black storms but this is a 13
mm sha diameter of course 8 and of 8.
um4 on the back side and you can see how
I also stemmed it and the shaft weighs
on this
one weighs 4.15 and I forgot to tell you
the weight on the butt the butt weighs
13.8 I like a light queue when um when
I'm breaking so this is my other shaft
this is what I use for the nine bolt
brakes any any brake I'm using on the
rail I'll use this the reason why I like
the wood shafts when I'm breaking on the
rail is because they Flex it's hard to
flex the carbon it feels like I'm
tipping over when I when I try to flex
the the wood so this one has a little
bit more flex and it has a lot more GI
but the tip diameter on this one is
actually
12.8 this was actually a plane uh plane
shaft but I didn't like how the
deflection on it it had too much
deflection for me so I made it into a
brake shaft and it's was like oh this is
perfect I make this into a brake shaft
but this is the same construction this
is a G10 stemmed into the the wood
itself so this part is also Hollow since
this was a playing shaft so this is
Hollow in the front and this is actually
a t 34 a
Java um material in the for the white
and of course has a clear pad cuz I just
left the clear pad this is also a
blackstorm so I bre I break with all
black storms so this is how it looks is
third uh third uh 12.8 like I said and
it's 29 in long and the weight of this
is pretty much the same it's 4.15 o so
they actually weigh the same so no
matter which one it is the only thing
difference is the D tip diameter and the
gave you the butt was 13.8 Oz and of
course 29 in long so let's go ahead into
the jump queue I get the small jump
queue first first is my other my big
jump my long jump
cues so this is my jump what I actually
like using a lot is for close-ups cuz I
play a lot on the 7 foot tables and I
feel that I don't need a long jump q but
this handle is 12 in Long of course this
is 29 in long and this is a full purple
heart so with a brass pin for the weight
in the front I like brass because it
gives it a natural weight weight balance
to go to the front that's the biggest
thing is with having a brass pin and of
course I just um regular uh Southwest
bumper on the back this a Southwest
style bumper but I have a little knob so
I can hold it here this is like how I
jump and breast pin of course cut in the
front Purple Heart this one with purple
heart this one is not stemmed because if
you work with perp when I noticed they
will split they will split on you so you
need to actually have it a tenant of the
Purple Heart then I put the G10 on top
that way it prevents it from splitting
but I jump with a black storm this is a
black storm and the tip diameter on this
one is actually small this is actually
12.5 which I like because you can
actually see it when you're actually
jumping really close to a ball versus
having a fat tip on the the shaft itself
so this is a little bit more pinpoint
this is what I like using the most and
the weight of this of this jump
Q the the handle itself is 5.9 Oz and
and the shaft is 5.3 Oz and like I said
12 uh 12.5 for diameter but so this will
be what 41 in long cuz 29 + 12 that'll
be a 41 in making it a legal jump que so
this one is my other jump
que for the long jump qes this is a
three-piece jump Q I also made I made
this one made this one so we'll go ahead
start off with the shaft first that way
I can give you a close detail on the
carbon fiber this is a car carbon fiber
the tip diameter on this one is 14 with
a black storm tip in the front with the
G10 also stemmed inside that way because
it's carbon fiber you won't really
getting it splitting but this is really
stiff there's no flex on it what I like
about it is a 14 14 mm shaft it's really
fat and of course the way I build it is
this one's much um stemmed inside so a
plug that way it's a solid hit and this
one
weighs 3.8 o u 3.8 o and it's of course
14 mm on the tip but this one um I
already had some some my friends they
want me to make make them this que I
said nope I'm not going to make it
because one carbon F this carbon fiber
was not cheap um it's not like a regular
Q blank so the price on the carbon fiber
and making it it's almost like buying
buying a regular production queue I was
like H there's there's no real value on
it so that way I said nope I'm not going
to make it I can make you a wood
threepiece but I'm not going to make a
carbon fiber but this is the carbon
fiber this is like a
directional uh weave on it as you can
see this one's real grippy so when
you're holding it here it's grippy but
yet it's smooth going this way so I made
sure that I have grip when I hold it and
it goes into a brass pin this is a
double
linen
folic and course a little knobby here
and the total the total length on this
one is 19.5 so when you split
it this is how it looks split this is 15
in
long and the weight on the handle
itself is
this is 2 excuse me 4.95 o so this is
almost 5 oz just the weight itself for
this as you can see this is also plugged
inside for how I make it that way it's a
stronger Bond and I have a
mini um radial cut the front of course
cuz I don't like that little knob the
roundness this one inside here is
actually African Blackwood so this is
that folic inside the whole
thing all the way
through all the way through is African
Blackwood and of course the African
Blackwood this is just for decoration it
has the hopy ring in the middle and a
double Linen on the back for strength
but this is what makes the weight of the
weight on this one is um 2.75 Oz but
this is how I build it of course with a
software style bumper
[Music]
and then mini um mini radial pin and it
goes all the way about right here that's
all I need to glue it in and you see
this is a solid solid piece that way it
has no flex and I was going to do it
with this one put putting a solid piece
but you didn't need it because carbon
fiber is really strong it has no flex
and the biggest thing with the carbon
fiber or having it inside it would made
it too heavy this is already 5 oz
so when I put it together making it 19
19.5 ounces so this is how it looks make
sure it's all
flush and this is
the the jump Q itself but I'll use this
like on the big tables I also use it on
the 7 foots when I have to do a long
jumps it's really accurate has no flex
which I like like I like about this one
cuz even if this has no flex but it has
a lot of weight to get the same to get
the same stiffness you have to add lot
of wood for it so that's why I use this
one for my long jumps and this one's for
my short jumps and that's that's pretty
much my plain CU so now we'll go into
the case I forgot what's inside the case
so this one I put a little magnet here
the same neoprene and the the first
thing I have are my chalks so with my
chalks this is what I
have this is a regular
mattress and what I did I was bored on
the lay so I turned it made it into a
circle this and then of course I just
glued in um a steel plate
so when when I'm not playing I'll just
put the chalk here that way I don't have
it all if um if I know I'm going to play
again and I go to the next table I have
the chalk available and I have to dig it
out of my pocket I also play with the
toms this is the toms also with the
magnet as you can see it this is real
strong mag but with the with
the
strap this is how it'll look it'll go to
the
side once I get it to the side it's just
hanging there and then I just pull it
out oh now I got to glue this one see
this is how strong it is with the glue
so all it is is just regular glue once I
put the super glue on it and it'll stay
and then the biggest thing is this
neoprane magnet is really strong so you
actually have to pull it down so now I
got to glue that one
but that's how strong they are and I
won't lose my
truck and then this is my tip shape um
scuffer this is one thing about this one
a lot of people don't understand how
this is used you actually roll the
tip on it and then that's how you get
your little nipples and
indentions it's like makes it into like
a golf ball you can see those little
indentions and that's how you actually
use this I got some coin
if we do um matches if they don't have
an indicator on the table I use the
penny to indicate what my score is and
for the heads or tails a lot of people
do heads or tails they don't do the lag
for the brake I got my name also here on
the side that way I know it's my
case marked it
in and then on this
one got my
horo
stickers and and I got
some horo white storm and some black
storm so these are just for um people
that want to try it like you know it's
like hey you should try the blackstorm
Hey this is a good white storm for
jumping and I'll um I'll will sell it to
them or I'll hand it out to them it all
depends on how I feel but in Vegas I'll
be giving out some of the black storms
out and some of the white storms out so
if you see me just approach me if I so
have some and of course I'll be giving
out some stickers in Vegas so this one's
actually what you use in your um clothes
cloth cuz this is um a really good good
adhesive on the backing on this this is
just your regular sticker so I put it on
a Ziploc
[Applause]
bag that way it's all nice and neat it's
not unorganized of course I cre my patch
so if I I play my local tournaments and
I don't have any of my patch cuz I won't
I won't always have my patches on and
then I'll put it on my shirt just like
that and then I'll take a picture and
then that way they know I'm sponsored by
horo tips so that's easy way to do it
got a little joint protector here don't
really use them but that's what I use
don't really use this either I actually
like it but I just don't want to forget
it that's the biggest thing cuz this is
actually what holds your cues it will be
like that it'll be placed then you'll
have all your cues so maybe in Vegas
I'll do it I was thinking of just um
drilling a hole here put a 5/50 c gut
inside the little white string and
attach it to my case that way I know I'm
not going to forget this cuz I do forget
this and even then I have my name this
will be um donated to the BCA in Vegas
so I don't want to do that
but this one is I got this from Nelson
this is the horo tips this is also a tip
Scupper so what you do here is you don't
actually rub the the tip itself you
actually roll it
again and then it makes the inventions
on the tip and that's how you that's how
it holds the
chalk excuse
me I have a glove just in case don't
really use it I got this uh free when I
um signed up when I was in Vegas last
year they had a promotion give your
information we give you a free glove
like ah let me try it so this one's a
left-handed glove yep left-handed glove
so I might use it one day might it all
depends on the um the humidity but I
always just get my towel wiped down my
cues versus just wearing a glove I have
a leather varnishing
tool just to Varnish my um shafts itself
and the tips we'll go to this case this
is the extension I made this extension
this is a of course a bullet style pin
to accept um the bumper for the Predator
bumpers and just a regular soft TST um
back in and if I want to make another
extension actually I can actually just
tap this put
another U Predator bumper and then do
another extension on top but this one
forgot it's a little bit over 6 in long
I had extra wood and I just decided to
make this curly Maple I could have made
another one make it longer but I don't
really use them cuz I'll use the bridge
so this is how it
looks
so tight in that it's coming off that's
why I don't really use it
so this one
should
so they fit they work but I I just use a
bridge I have extra chalks
I haven't done anything special with
this this is all this is just brand new
inside man this is like hard to take out
but if there's no chalk on the table and
I don't feel like using my chalks or I
lost my chalks and I need to use the
backup chalks I have backup chalk
so then this one is imitation K kovi
style bridge where um
see-through I got this on Amazon
actually works really good
so fits on the 12 on my jump queue and
if I need it on my Breck que put on my
Breck que but this is how it look and
you have different positions this is one
for
jumping you can see it's a lot taller
makes it easier when you're actually
jumping a ball going this way you can
see how that's designed for it and your
regular Bridges your one two three
different depths so this one has
different depths this one's a lot taller
this is your your high you're going to
do a top uh follow just your regular
stun and of course your draw and it's
directional so if you want it bridging
on the left and you need to do top it'll
be that way and if it's can't go
there you flip it around
and there's your your top closer to your
left side versus the right side so it
all depends so thing is it's directional
because you you have to flip it around
on what side you want so this is just
your regular M middle low your draw
shots and of course your follow shots
and you have extreme
draw on this side I'll never really use
that that's like a little too extreme
for me and of course to just queue over
a ball this is how you would do it if
you're just queuing over a ball and
you're not jumping so it's a lot easier
to
see so it's a nice little bridge I
actually haven't really used it as much
I use the just the regular moose head or
the Batman or whatever it's available at
the at the pool hole and of course a
little
cloth to wipe down the cues but I
haven't really used it but it's there
and this is the pocket for the jump you
but this is what's all in my case and
now let's go ahead and I'll show you my
shirts I also I also want to show you
the shirts I'll be wearing in Vegas this
is one of the shirts I will be wearing I
wore this last year this is what I wore
for the scotch doubles my partner ey of
course weed matching t-shirts not
required but it just looks I think it
looks a little bit better and of course
I have the my sponsor over here the horo
tips this one had classic Q's this is
the P haul I normally play in and this
is where we had it here you can see it a
little bit better on these shirts and of
course my last name on the back that's
the
yo so my last name so this is what I'll
be wearing for
my IND single matches eight ball and
nine ball cuz I'll be I'll be playing
both be playing eightball and nine ball
so have the classic Q's this is the pool
haul I play on I bought this last year
that's why it has the BCA um Vegas I got
it last year and has the eight ball n
ball ironically so this is perfect and
of course the horal tips on the left
side I like putting it on the left that
way you can actually see it when you're
actually stroking but this is the shirt
I wearing of course of my last name on
the back so this is for my individual
matches you don't have to move that
much so this one is what I will be
wearing for my Scotch doubles of course
classic use on also on the right side on
the front that we're doing this
eightball Scotch
doubles and this is what um I am wearing
also the horal tips and this shirt well
let me go my last name in the back last
name in the back it's big yo this shirt
also I'll be wearing it for the nine
ball teams so my partner and I on Scotch
doum we're playing with another person
um the female pool player she'll be
joining us for the team match on the
nine ball so I'll also be doing nine
ball teams and this is what I'll be
wearing this is what I'll be wearing for
my eightball teams this is the
team um that I played with on the B um
for BCA and Classic Q uh last last
season the season's over and we're doing
a new season and I got in a new team so
but I got um horor teams this is um our
team qyb that's our um
initials and they have the third base
cuz um the owner of Classic Q also owns
Third Base so they put that but if you
look in the back it has big classic Q's
in the back of course the last name in
the back so these are the t-shirts the
shirts I'll be wearing this one's for
eightball teams and forgot to mention
I'll be using magic racks or not magic
racks that's also trademark I'll be
using a template rack this one is
actually from outsville this is for the
apall I'll be using this for
apall as you can see this is the
outsville outfields rack and I got it
for the nine ball I'll be using also a
temple template rack when I go for my
matches and I had this one just a little
turtle rack just just for a backup just
in case I lose it this has both you can
do um the eightball you can I can rack
this into an eightball so if I lose and
donate this to the be CCA Vegas this
gets donated hopefully I still have this
or I have to purchase another template
rack so but this is what I'll be using
when I use my rexs for uh the BCA
tournaments I just showed you what's in
my case and a brief description of my P
cues and what I will be bringing to
Vegas for the BCA tournaments hopefully
