Marking carbon fiber (Revo) shaft

I pivot in the air to apply english and like marks on my shaft in several places to know that I am pivoting in the right relative spot.

On a wooden shaft I can draw a ring with a sharpie. How can I mark my revo and not damage the shaft?
 
Interesting idea. Bet it works too.
You might try laser etching. Might be visible and not too annoying to stroke. :)
 
Buy a paint marker permanent oil base you want silver and decide on fine, medium or chilled
Make sure to clean the area with alcohol and good firm pressure

Metal paint will change the deflection. Also the particles might pick up radio. Imagine your shaft talking to you.

I think it already is. No good player i know of has ever worried about this shit. If you asked Earl/Buddy/Efren/Sigel/etc what a 'pivot point' was they'd have looked at you liked you had a third eyeball. I never thought 'tech-geek-itis' would ever inflict pool like golf but it has. I'm semi guilty, i do use shafts that are lo-def(one being tried is CF too) but all the chalk,ferrule material, pivot-point, a zillion tips, jump/break/hop cues, etc is just insane. People WAY overthink the minutia of the game. Buy a cue, go play with it. You will have to adjust to ANY cue regardless of its 'geek factor'. Its no wonder snooker players laugh at pool players and all their junk, they use one piece ash cues with brass ferrules and squashed down Elkmasters to routinely run 100+pts on 6x12/s.
 
What does this mean, is it like the dots on Meucci shafts? This is the first time I’ve heard the word pivot…

Search it. Been covered a bunch. https://billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue/natural-pivot-length/ In a nutshell higher deflection cues usually require shorter bridge lengths. More to it than that but that's the gist.

Wow, learn something new everyday. Maybe it’s a psychological thing for some, if that’s the case I completely understand cause I can’t play with a cue with turquoise in it and I’ve used a sharpie on lots of cues. Not to mark a pivot point but to color over stuff I didn’t like 😆

Considering I now have it marked and am shooting sidespin shots with the new shaft at about 95% level as my other shaft after one day by using my pivot system I think what you just said means nothing.

And no the shafts deflect quite different.

Also I mean all sidespin shots including all speeds, elevations and distances. I simply couldn't do this in a day if it wasn't as easy as changing where I pivot before going down by a few inches.

If air pivoting works for you you should do air pivoting.
