    Tip keeps mushrooming after a few games...

    I use Moori Quick III. Here is my step by step process with just the shaft: I first have an 8.5 x 11 sheet of binder paper rolled up in a tube and slip it snuggly over the shaft to just below where the tip joins the ferrule. I use scotch tape to keep the binder paper rolled up tight. This...
