Have you ever known any players who played really good with the heavy (mud) cue ball, that you see on so many Valley coin op tables?

Check your toilet flushing. And check back. I think it spins one way in one hemisphere and the other way in the other. Unless this is false.You lost me on the equator!!
I'm in the southern hemisphere now!! Wtf??
ahmma go with Jay Helfert just to be safe. The heaviness gets the OB going further at lower speeds than and equal weight ball.
I have to agree on both counts my friend.
Never had a problem drawing the big CB long distances, you just have to know if you're in a fun room or a gambling room.
You start drawing the big rock around in a "fun" bar and they think you're a world champ, you do that in a gambling room and the only people wanting to play are champs. Lol

A place that won't bet if you can draw? The obvious thermal is don't win or else.
if you are a stranger and look like you can play well you wont get action. you are not a gambler so wouldn't understand how to make yourself playable to the gamblers. not the best player in town.
i played the best player in the world and never drew my ball for two full days of playing and broke him twice for big scores.

Not so much in the pool halls in the area I was in but if you showed you could draw effectively in a pub or bar you were considered a "player!" In the pool halls you weren't going to play other bangers or cowboys, you were announcing you were pretty serious there too and would be lumped in with the action guys! The owners would protect their recreational and semi-recreational players from you until they had seen you play enough to rate you.
The equipment we played on made it hard enough to draw that being able to draw with control was a sign of a lot of hours on a pool table. I would agree to that. Hadn't thought about it until mentioned by someone else but most owners at least gave a bolt or two of cheap green cloth from the local millery store a try. Poor performance and short life meant most didn't stay with these experiments long but what would be decent cloth on a dining table was sometimes encountered and my Sears and Roebuck table I bought used when I was fifteen was covered in plain green cloth. Garbage! Of course I paid $125 for a four by eight table. I paid twice that for the balls and was ready to go!

Ok. I'm a brute force kinda non player - which is how I _would_ steal. lol. Moving along, I'm still curious about your conquests. It's historical.
My conquests were almost historical, they were hysterical. Close but no cigar!
One of the funnier, I dropped a man doing some work for me at a bar where he wanted to stop. I went in with him and bought him a beer and me a soda water. It was cool inside and a hot day outside so I stuck some money in a bar table. Me and Joe played awhile then this other guy, Bill I think, challenged. We played a few games with him too, first balls I had hit in several years. Mid game of about our third game Bill looked at me, "He is a pool player!" Sounded like he was calling me a child molester! I had to leave to avoid a fight just playing for the table.

I've had friends chased down the free way. I was like, "This shit really happens?"
