I do use quite a lot of english but I rarely miscue unlike yesterday which was terrible. considering other factors like lack of game time for about a month and lack of cue maintenance, cb, chalk and condition of the place could be the culprit as well. I did take a note of the contact points on the tip and my money tells me that it could be the bar chalk. going to pick up and try the Taom V10 tomorrow and see if there is a difference. if not, I guess it's time to reshape it.
