	Case Spacers The product review this month is about a product called Case Spacers. There is no category to put Case Spacers in; such as joint protectors, tip scuffers etc., all I can do is tell you what they do. Case Spacers are small, foam, disks about 1 inch round and about 1 inch high. The foam is rather stiff and compressible. You put the Case Spacers down the tube that the butt portion of your cue goes into. After a period of time your cue seems to get harder to pull out of your cue case. The butt portion seems to go down further into the case. You wind up tipping your case on its side or trying to pull your cue out with your fingernails. This is where Case Spacers come in handy. You drop one Case Spacer down the case tube and push it down to the bottom of the case using the cue as a ram. Once the Case Spacer is at the bottom of the case, you slide in your cue. The Case Spacers cause the cues to stick out of the top of your cue case a little further. When you close your cue case the foam spacer compresses, when you open your cue case, your cue seems to pop up, making it easier to pull your cue out. The package contains eight Case Spacers. They are not to be inserted into the shaft tube of the case. For more information call 509-735-2761 or E-mail slugo@bossig.com. All copyrights are owned by Richard Card.
