Pool cue question
Mostly for Paul, but anyone in the know...
Bought a new cue a coupe months ago (Griffin/Action) to use at my local bar. Been enjoying the game again immensely.
The question.. Being a woodworker I'm aware of how water raises the grain of wood. Since in a bar and often have a beer next to me, I do get moisture on my hands. I try to wipe them off before picking up the cue, but life happens.
What's the best way to smooth the top of the shaft. At the moment, I grip the cue tightly around the shaft and let friction and my skin try and "finish sand" the spots where water touched the shaft.in my wood shop, I do have sand paper that goes up to 2000 grit. Just don't want to ruin this cue. It's only a couple hundred bucks, but still...
What's the best way to deal with this?
TIA!
P.S. At this point, I'm playing pretty much every night and get a few games in each time.
P.P.S.... I did play a few money games against a friend the other week. I really can't stand playing for money. Playing for beer is okay, playing for fun is best.
