if you get to practice a bit you can be real good with most any equipment .
ive beat players in bars and pool rooms sometimes getting a spot but playing with the back end of my cue.
played in a bar where no chalk was allowed to be used and the house cues had flat tips glued on. and still could run enough balls to win after learning what not to do.
made a game where i got 8 to 1 in one pocket and had to use my shoe. that one was a bad game for me after i found out with a few hits.
lucky the houseman saw the game and came over and scolded us and picked up the balls.
