In this video, future Pro Player, Landon Shuffet, reveals what he keeps in his cue case.
Landon Shuffet is an up-and-coming young player. He has a lot of talent and experience for someone his age. I think he was 14 at the time of this video. Listening to him, you might not realize that he is that young. For his age, he is very knowledgable and tournament tested. He is one of the future super-stars in the contigency of U.S. players.
So let's find out what secret weapons Landon has hidden in that beautiful Jack Justis Case of his....
Landon has a rather odd combination of butts and shafts. He is playing with a Predator Butt and an OB-2 Shaft. He says that he had played with an
OB-1 Cue Shaft
for a few years and loved it a lot, but the new OB-2 shaft is even better, definetly an upgrade in his opinion. He plays with a
Moori tip (Medium Hardness)
.
That is the same tip that I have used in the past and liked very much. It is a pigskin tip with 11 layers of lamination. They are very popular tips.
His setup is the same for his break cue. He has the Predator BK2 Break cue (butt only) and he uses an OB shaft designed for break cues. He likes the feel of the OB shaft for breaking compared to the Predator shaft.

Landon carries a jump cue made by Steve Lomax who makes the Bunjee jump cues. Landon swears by these jump cues and thinks they are the best jump cue out there.

One of the coolest pool gadgets to come out in recent history is the pool cue extensions. Landon carries one that is called the Cue Reach and I like it a lot, too, because they allow you to shoot "reach" shots much more naturally...without stretching and losing accuracy. Worth the small cost IMHO.

Everything else is sort of basic stuff...
a towel
Ultra Glide Hand Talc
Smooth Slide Burnishing paper similar to Nicks Edge shown here
...and a tip tool.
All of this stuff is held in a custom made Jack Justis case that is beautiful. Jack makes great cases that are very functional, too. Landon is a lucky guy to have that case.
Here is the video with Landon...thanks to InsidePoolMag.com for providing the interview.
