Anybody have any idea why a reputable table mechanic would have told me Charcoal?

Perhaps that was what was used years ago?
Charcoal would be the Color. Rubber pocket facing is what google liked.

A tip for overthinkers.

Now try it blindfolded! That puts a whole new twist on things.😄

My mother had only one hearing aid for one good ear. As a child she would flip the battery holder to indicate deaf to my complaint. But But she just pretended and when I mumbled, "Bitch" with my back turned.....I got a healthy clip to the back of my head.......Lessons of life. 🤷‍♂️

SOLID GOLD: Interview With Richard Black. "From Wall Street to Billiards: Richard Black's Remarkable Rise to Hall of Fame Cue Builder"

This was a treat for me.

I just ran across this and I have known Richard since 1978, four years after he started making cues.

He has made two cues for me and he once told me that I have called him from more countries in the world than anyone. I used to talk to him frequently.

Looks like that was posted Sept 2023. How is Richard today? He made me a few cues. One was around 1976. It had a terrible flaw in the birdseye and I was going to send it back but it got stolen from my truck when I was in a movie.

My homeowners insurance that also covered things in my truck didn't want to pay for the cue. I had no receipt so I had to get a letter from Richard to attest to it's value. The adjuster didn't believe a pool cue cost that much. He wanted to give my $35.00.
To be honest, the cue was a little expensive considering he was still pretty new. I think it was in the $350.00 range if I remember correctly. That is why I was so unhappy with the dark flaw in the cue.

The Jedi Mind Trick.
Be The Shot Maker.
Well in 8 ball the leverage points are employed first to improve percentages.
When the impressive shot is made, it must be followed to complete the game. Leaves a mark .
So one great shot can lead to no more required.
Just gotta keep the mind right and clean the table uh, "like the cow ate the cabbage".
