Aggressive chalking strikes again.

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
Cribbon fiber.
Seeing there's no ferrule to speak of, looks about right.

Well there's no blue embedded. How is it you are certain?
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.

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.

Yup, I agree.
Look at the main wear ring. That's from chalking wrong with deep chalk. I think what you are noticing is the fiber direction of the carbon fiber.

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.
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.
