Do you grease the butt end of the cue as well?

No but is is very easy to accidentally knock their chock on the ground and it rolls away to another table. They may be good chalks according to some but the payoff of it affecting their game is not with it.
I would be worried too is list my $100 chalk.
That speaks volumes.

Tell me about it. They go freaking out and looking for it when it’s their shot.
Forget the chalk and focus on the game.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Ah I love the sound of a good keyboard warrior in the morning...
Do you really think a $20 piece of chalk is a lot of money to worry about?

Whoosh, right over his head.
Why not knock his stick off his holder so the tip breaks off or something? I mean All is fair isn't it? Unless it happens to him.
Wow. Nice guy.
Are you claiming you can’t remove the chalk marks from that Measle ball on the left? I agree with all you’ve said but a little denatured alcohol dabbed on a magic eraser will do the job without harming the surface of the ball. Also works great for removing miscue scratches on the CB.
Pool table shot coaching system
Anyone interested in having a pre mapped portable electrical grid with fast response unit to play the shot? Think chess board with wifi, bte, am/fm, and other signal systems.
As soon as a player moves a ball the system predicts the general landing area and deploys a response.
Player plays a safe, the system will tell you which safes are available to play. Based on the opponents habits, the system will say which safe has the highest chance of being returned with a specific safe or offensive shot.
Playing a digital ghost is the commercial name. The codename for this project is ghost death box. As soon as the ghost is seen, it will have to run out fast or deny my safety play.
In testing I call it the ghost breaker.

I precut the rybber ring as soon as I bought mine.
Also fine sanded the moose head along the edge.
The marks seen on the left are to stay there forever. These are wounds from something very hard, which left scratches where chalk residue penetrated. Used to be seen during phenolic tip era of break cues, and also some pockets/improperly fit screwes tend to make such marks.

I always make sure to have a 5 o'clock shadow when I go out to play. If my tip needs grooming, I rub it on my chin.
I’ve attempted to clean it with magic eraser and alcohol - no joy.
No pocket screws. Only phenolic tip was an occasional jump with my old Pechauer jump cue which does have phenolic. Pretty sure most of the marks are from miscue burns.

Everybody needs to stop with this magic eraser bs. It isn't magic and it is abrasive.
You might as well use 2000grit sandpaper if you think magic erasers do a good job.

Any cue with elaborate inlays. They don’t do a darn thing for your game.
Yes, it is abrasive, but it is much more gentle than 2000 grit. Magic eraser is basically a foamed glass, so the material has tiny fibers that do the cleaning trick. And water (ME is to be moistened) performs as a dust/ particles container.
Best way to clean the wooden shaft, even the ugliest ones, is using a magic eraser. A good one though, not some knock-off (and there have been a lot recently). Of course use of water should not be excessive, and even then one has to remove it from wood asap (heat generated by friction of a paer towel is just enough). I bet such a shaft will last longer than a player using it.

Agree to disagree on all counts.
You don’t play much 9 ball? Because if you do - quite often when hooked, the situation dictates that a jump shot is a higher percentage shot vs a kick shot.
The measles cue ball is not heavier than other Aramith cue balls when new. But cue balls, especially the Aramith red circle do get lighter with heavy use over time.
