Looking that way for sure. It really isn't that easy to run like a train for that long though. He'll have to work for it methinks.

Mostly marine ply - leftovers from a camper fitout. I may have bought in some thin ply for the drum skin. Tried to keep the skins as thin as possible and as hard a wood as possible. One of them was pine which sounded too dull.

Tried maple or birch?

I also prefer 6 high / low warm wood SW style cues with quite a forward weighting (usually identified by people saying "your cue feels noticeably lighter than what it weighs out in its specs"),

What do you think causes that effect? You wrote the forward weighting helped cause it but can you be more specific?

For example, many cues have butts at about 14 ounces and shafts 4 ounces. Black Blade sells cues with butts that can weigh 9 oz versus shafts varying from 4 to 10 ounces. Now, that can be beaucoup forward weighting but I'm guessing this is not the forward weighting you are talking about.

I figured cues weigh less than they seem because the weight is evenly distributed the length of the cue instead of a cue with a two-ounce weight at butt end.

I was offered the score sheet to boost me up by the opposing team when I was having a difficult time reaching a shot.

My bad. I thought they might be package relief. Nice work. Any particular kinds of wood?

After few months with index and middle finger, I noticed this morning that my cue tip was diving when shooting. It seems like I can’t help but tightening my grip (like I can’t help anticipating the recoil when shooting with a gun, which makes me takes the gun a bit). Of course it impacts my aiming on the ball but also my precision.
I spent one hour playing with index finger only and noticed a real improvement. I wonder how common this grip and my diving issue are.
