Strange Dings Appearing

I'm willing to bet that this is exactly the case. I am obsessive about keeping my cues ding free. I was told this could be the problem so what I did a few months ago was to get a scrap of simonis cloth just big enough to lay your cue on when you do rail shots. Actually my scrap of cloth is rectangular and I double it over, place it on the feather strip, and shoot a rail shot on top of the cloth. I haven't dented the shaft of my cue in 4 months. For me this solved the issue of the mysterious bumps. And yes mine appeared in groups of 2 or 3
Now that's a great idea with that cloth...i'm not up on all the technical rules..COULD someone call a foul on you for doing this by saying it is a shooting aid ???? how about it you experts what's your opinions ?? i certainly would never call it on someone ....:)
 
Just to add to a good idea, when the cue ball is close to a pocket and I have to bridge over a black plastic pocket, I use the towel I use to dry my hands and place it over the rubber pocket. This prevents that nasty black rubber coming off onto your shaft. I don't use the simonis cause that's a bit too thin. My hand towel is thick :)

I do the same. One player told me that it was illegal and not allowed in the BCA as I was shooting at the game ball. I didn't even look at him and just continued to shoot and ended up winning. I then looked at him and said we are not playing in the BCA. Other than that no one has ever questioned it.

If you are leaning your sticks against a drink table between games with the rest of your team mates, this could be causing the dings.

That's my guess...it's probably leaning the cue somewhere. The foosball table down at the local hall here causes them...:p
