i have 2 one on my lucasi and one on my inexpensive elite wrapless cue , the one on lucasi seems to hold chalk better and less miscuing , the other not as much performance, i normally sand the edjes downward so layers dont lift and thats all i do but i have troubles with elite cue not holding chalk and miscuing , cuold it be tip or cue ??? btw i use to have all elkmasters but got tired of there inconsistencies
