I;ve seen most twist the tip in the carpet at the [pool hall, which is disrespectful , get a napkin
Think about those with the bubblegum chalk it will be on everything. It definitely alters the roll of the cueball kinda like a built in shark, It should not be allowed
Yeah. Concrete floors saved my soul.
if there is a chip in that concrete sometimes it works. When playing on the road in a sleazy bar, with a house cue, and the tip needs shaping lolYeah. Concrete floors saved my soul.
never heard of that. news to me.
but the gamblers i play with and see around just use the house masters chalk usually.
chalk doesn't shape or scuff a tips i've seen some tip that were glued on and still flat.
i can beat anybody with a broomstick. i don't do that often because they will tighten their pockets and i get no money

Replace your LEATHER with NEW US Dollar Bill.
Thank you, maha, Does the dollar bill get the chalk dust out of the pores of the shaft? That's what I'm trying to avoid with the sealing and waxing. Thanks in advance. Terry
True. I also use the tip covers from Longoni and some other's that are short/clear plastic one's to capture that.
Keep in covered lmao
burnishing keeps stuff from getting in the shaft as it hardens it and makes it slicker. doesnt do wonders.
no big deal if your shaft gets to look like its getting a little blue you dont feel it.
if you tilt your stick when you chalk a bit the dust doesnt fall onto your hand or the stick.
even after forever i dont see my shafts getting worse.
I do like the Master's chalk, but don't like how it gets into the pores of the wood. It's my OCD thing.
I do tilt my cue when chalking, but admittedly, I've never burnished this Joss shaft that's picking up all the chalk. I know that it's common to burnish the sides of the tip, but you're saying that the length of the wood shaft should be burnished as well? And that'll keep it from picking up chalk? Thanks in advance maha.
some confusion probably on my part. but
you shape your tip
scuff it rarely when it starts getting glazed
chalk lightly and so that it doesnt fall on your hands or shaft
never wax shaft as it wont be smoother for long.
can burnish it with a dollar bill or whatever you chose
then leave it be, and play with it.
if it gets dings learn how to steam them out, it works.
if you have carbon fiber i'm lost on that.

The dollar bill will only slicken over and bury the chalk in the shaft, then it may never come out even with harsh chemicals
I;m old school I'll bet wood against cf, it's all in the build,. I shoot great with delfection it's what i grew up with and learned.
however sealing and waxing doesnt keep it slick. and will change with the temperature and humidity.
if the pores are a little open and they are in wood then some outside tiny particles will fill them in.
the chalk doesnt hurt it. may not look brand new anymore. and if that is what a person agonizes over then something else needs to be done.

Only chalk your tip on the shiny spots the rest would be overload and maybe a miscue eventually. If the shaft isn't crying don't scuff or go to chalk , just a nervous gesture. We all do this when we feel our back is against the wall. Put your focus forward , ignore anything else in the room , you have a goal, to win Take control and keep it.
