Goku is one of two warriors of Universe 7 Dragon Ball. We saw him from a young age in his training as a martial arts fighter, training with Mestre Kame, Mestre Karin, Kami Sama, Kaio Sama and now with Bills and Whis.
Since he was little, he had a frame unmatched style and initially he carried the sacred staff that he used as a weapon to defeat his strongest rivals.
However, as time went by, he began to put more effort into his punches and shots, leaving behind the use of external devices during a fight.
However, the truth is that this did not seem to be Akira Toriyama's original plan, when Goku grew up to become a man.
The Japanese mangaka would have completely changed Kakarot's fighting style and these sketches were approved in the editing room of Shueisha magazine.
Sketches by Akira Toriyama that have been circulating on the networks for some time show that Goku is carrying the Kame Master's staff.
Or what would have happened if a Saiyan raised on Terra used this artifact to face Vegeta, Raditz, Nappa or Frieza? We will never know, but we can imagine by observing or drawing.

Why was this version of Goku not used in Dragon Ball?
No one knows why it was not used in the end. Making an analysis, we could say that, at that time, Goku was far from reaching Roshi's level, not in power, but in knowledge and experience in combat.
According to what happens in Dragon Ball Z, during the last arc of the series, Goku reaches this level five years after the Z Warriors defeat Majin Buu. In truth, the Saiyan raised on Earth brings Ub to train him in his village after he appears in the Martial Arts Tournament.
This is where it would make more sense for Goku to have enough of Master Kame, but we know that the character follows another style and is still not ready to train new warriors, but at least he does not try to increase his own power at the same time.
