I've got this awesome rope pool cue I'll sell ya, it's highly transportable, all you have to do it wind it up and put it in your pocket!

...you can't have hinges in the bar if it's gonna work. That's why you need to torque down the mounts. And even then, it's not going to be a good as a welded in bar, but that's a little impractical.
