Not sure either but it looks like the GOAT's stroke is too long for his bridge.
I just finished a similar cue but reversed, Maple handle and Walnut butt and forearm.

Or maybe vice versa.
Here's a measurement of how far his grip hand has to move just to contact the cue ball - he makes contact way forward of vertical.
I guess he makes it work...
