Ok so I’ve watched 3 different methods so far to shape the tip using the Willard’s nickel.
I bought I true wood Cynergy with a dime sniper tip and I’m finding I’m not liking the shape much. Also it doesn’t seem to be holding chalk in the middle after a couple weeks of play. See pic first on left* I then got a tapper and rolled it in a circular motion and it then “seemed to be looking good with the chalk see pics 2 and 3*
But then I was back at square one within a day or two. So I ordered and got a Willard’s nickel and am looking to reshape it to a nickel and also be roughing it up at the same time. Hoping it doesn’t take too much meat off.
So in short, what the best way to do this smoothly and straight, minus a pocket or real lathe.
*side note, I’m also finding it more difficult to make rail shots with this shaft. Anyone experience this?
Thanks in advance fellas.
