It's not even blabbing. There's "research" documentation for the checking. Certainly enough for humor.
Anyway, the ball headed for the rail then back out as if it had hit the cushion, while there was still air in between.

It’s good but generally gets boring. …21 cover 36 pin 5 hurt from the left plenty of room right. So a stock 50 off the tower? I love that…

The one thing pool players ( and bad caddies) can learn is there is never any negative. And once the player decides all you hear is “ perfect” “ I love that” etc…. It’s all process.

Unlike the new caddie I had at a newly opened great course who had a wrong yardage and once indicated “Don’t go left here..”. I didn’t mention the yardage that left me in a cool bunker that I thought would be good to play out of, but I did mention that when he got to member play he might want to say something like “ lots of room right” vs “ don’t go left”…, . I am exhibit A in bad sports psychology and “ don’t go left” translates into one of the better pull hooks you could come up with…

Yes, if the decals were not applied perfectly straight.

The black points do not look like ebony. Real ebony is not uniformly black, and it also has visible grain. Even if stained black, there would be visible grain. The black points pictured don't show any grain, nor do the rings. That suggests the black we're seeing in the points and rings is not real wood.

The maple borders around the black points are definitely not veneers; there's no seam. Even without seeing glue lines, we'd see a seam. To accomplish that with real wood, one would need to splice points into spliced points, creating an 8-point cue that looks like a 4-point cue. That's not going to happen in a budget production cue, and is very unlikely in even a high-end cue. More likely, the maple "veneers" are simply the underlying maple forearm not being covered with decals or paint.

Since the ad copy indicates 100% maple, it's nearly certain that anything that doesn't appear to be maple is overlayed onto a maple butt.

All that being said, according to ChatGPT (emphasis in original output):
