Right, but on the other hand, it seems that increase in friction doesn't help at all. I remember Dr.Dave said that from observations it seemed any increase in friction at this point doesn't prevent a miscue. So the reason might not be as simple as what I guessed.
It is not really about sliding friction. It is much more complicated, having to do with how the tip and shaft respond to the impact of the angled surface or with how the abrasive particles in the chalk engage both the tip and the CB. It is not sliding friction that keeps the surfaces engaged during contact. It is the chalk particles digging into both the tip and CB, creating a mechanical connection. This connection can’t seem to support itself with hits beyond the miscue limit. Maybe the chalk particles kind of roll out of the surfaces or break at the miscue surface angle.
