Aggressive chalking strikes again.

Tweeten use their own chalk to smoothen the Elk master tips, I believe at the end of the production process. That's why they're blue...
 
Wait... so chalk can erode/shape carbon fiber, but it can't wear down/shape a leather tip?

That one tip thread now has some proof, possibly. Oh boy...
I know right...

That said, I still can't wrap my head around the effort needed in bad form to do that to a shaft. How long would a wooden shaft last in that player's hands...?

They could use it for a kabob stick in a few months, easily. Lol

I'm sure everyone here already knows this, but almost all the players at your local pool hall or tavern are clueless.....

The people who drill holes into chalk don't know how to chalk. They are stupid as stumps. That technique does not get chalk on the tip well. Good players don't chalk like that. If you have a home table and your chalk looks like the typical pool hall chalk -- drilled down the middle -- you don't know how to chalk. And bad chalking can ruin your spin game.
 
100% sure he replaced tip by himself and took extra out with ultimate tip tool side and scratched shaft with that sandpaper..
That's a hell of a way down, from the tip, to be scratching material away.
All you need,is a long file and your thumb to keep it straight. With some practice. you should never touch the ferrule, or shaft in this case.

I may be a stump, lol. I have been getting some scratches on my Cuetec Cynergy ferrule, and can't figure out how why? I use 1080 chalk, could the chalk be causing these scratches ?
 
What happened to our chalking member from 10-15 years ago? He had a nice custom cue with worn out ferrules. Is it the same guy? ha ha.

I wonder if we are being punked though. Maybe someone did this on purpose and then posted a picture/video for hits?

It could be (hypothesizing) some of the chalk dust lands on the shaft, and then goes through your bridge hand and makes marks? I like to chalk my cue with it a bit tilted, so the dust falls onto the floor rather than onto the shaft.

After initial shaping the abrasion from the chalk is all I need to keep the tip groomed. The paper wrapping on the chalk insures that I am not building a coat.

If you drill a deep hole and rock the chalk, you will scratch the ferrule. You can see this a lot on house cues with a blue ring where the edge of the chalk hits.

Edit: or it could be as iusedtoberich suggested and it got transferred from your bridge hand.
