Agreed. I have a searing shaft that i use, and someone let me hit a mobley. I want a mobley ever since. There was so much life to the mobley hit. I was dumb founded. Love the searing, but the mobely really fit my game. Now i just need to find one.
We call them borer's. Since they bore holes in the chalk ;)
I have a feeling this fella also has a chalk holder, and the chalk is way below the holder so the holder itself is scratching the shaft. A solid holder, plus chalk rubbing on the shaft coild work like sand paper.
Someone mentioned elevation already. But i noticed you were shooting off the rail with a full closed bridge creating a much higher elevation.
Do you normally shoot off the rail like that ? Or was that a one time thing ? Normally people people play off the rail by using the rail and hand...
Can you do one of those random card games ? You buy a card that is face down with the players name on it. Once all cards are bought, they are flipped. You find out who you bought. If your card/player wins you get the pot or split 2 or 3 ways.
Not sure if this still breaks your gambling...
I like to try different things. What i found out is i have a real hard time adjusting to the low deflection cues. I stick to solid maple. My goto is my full splice sugar tree. While i will try other cues or play with other cues i have, when it is serious play the sugartree is my cue.
Garczar is offering reasons why that might be. It is all speculation.
I would speculate that mezz wants to promote their cf shafts more that wood for business reasons. They could be planning on making less wood shafts, they could more profit from the cf shafts etc.
You could also speculate...
For me, Call pocket helps people get to the level you are talking about when you mention superior players. Planning ahead and making the shots you call makes you a better player.
If you are not interested in getting better, slop is fun.
9ball is the gamblers game as other said. It involves...
I'm too sexy for this match
Too sexy for this set,
Too sexy for this game
You know i'm a fisherman , you know what i mean ?
And i do my casting from the boat dock,
The boat dock yeah,
I do all my casting from the boat dock.
I try not to use the shaft to move balls around. Any shaft. I was taught it was a bad habit when i started so i have always been careful to avoid it.
I realize it being a bad habit is an opinion. Just the way i was taught.
It is not lake wood, but similar concept.
Check out bog wood. It is wood that has been salvaged from bogs and started the fossilization process. The bogs give it different darker colors. I alway though a cue made out bog wood would be a cool project.

How flexible care you ? This not a pick up line.
I think a lot of people who have body aches are often stretching, or using muscles they dont typically use. I am having that issue right now because covid made me lazy.
You being taller is the opposite my concern. You would need to strengthen...
