I've been wondering why my game has been starting to suffer... I was completely unaware that tips only last roughly 6mo.. mine is about 13 years old!

@@duke1281 13 lol. Was it a triangle or Moori ? Can't say le pro because it might have fallen apart lol

Lmao same

Prime No. 6

Prime No. 6 you can remove the old ferrule and they make oversized ferrules that slip over the shaft of the cue and you glue them on. very inexpensive and easy. doesn't look as clean and professional, but is economical and your best option for old, beater, bar type cues.

I've used light grit sandpaper on both the back of the new tip and top end of the ferrule and a simple drop of super glue on both sides. Let it cure under weight overnight. That held up for house cues for years. Lots of good mixed epoxy glues are on the market too. You can just turn the cue tip down and hang a little weight on it overnight. A box knife and a shaping tool and it's good to go again. If you enjoy playing order yourself a 'Little George' and you'll have a shaper/scuffer and tap tool that lasts for decades. Replacing tips isn't 1/10th as difficult as the video makes it out to be.

All you really need is a razor blade and super glue. I have changed a few with nothing more than a blade a super glue a few times. Although not idea it can be done. Just takes a bit of patience and precision. However a bit of sandpaper and a 5/1 tip tool for $15 can help alot also. But if you can afford one thing out of this set i would recommend the cut rite Cut your old tip off with a razor. Use the razor and shave off the little bit of tip that is left on the ferule bit by bit being suuper careful to not cut into the ferule. Make a few marks in the ferule and tip tithe razor to help the glue make a good bond. Glue on your tip. Take the excess off with the razor and get it closer to the diameter of the ferule. Then use a cutrite to make the tip perfectly round and the exact diameter of the ferule. If you cant afford the cutrite yo7 can also do this step with nothing but the razor. Cutting away from you ferule. You need alot of patience and you have to be suuper meticulous and precise if your going to use only a razor blade for this step. Once the outside is cut to diameter. Use a pice of cardboard. Wet the tip edges slightly and use the cardboard to create friction and heat to burnish it. Then shape the tip to dime or nickel which ever is preferred and voila.

sir,where are you from? you get people sending there cues to you to repair?i called a pool hall in dubuque ia witch is 40 miles from me,they said they can do it for $6,bit i think they do it the cheap way

any cue that you purchase from Dick's Sporting Goods is a throw away. A new tip is worth more than that piece of wood. Better you purchase a quality cue from a pool hall and use the Mizerak cue for tinder... seriously... tinder

Once you know how to apply it. It came off 2x before staying of for perm. Just make sure you let the glue try and then burnish the tip and shaft. i Got some glue on the sides so i just use a non-scrathable sand paper and doubled glued it just encase. As long you make sure you glue it properly it should be okay.

i have a white diamond on break cue and pool hall uses top brands well the tip pop off. i'm thinking extra hard tip might not be good for my breaking , and go back to using Lepro or even Triangle Tip for everything

I've seen that happen to the best of cues. I suspect people touch the surfaces or don't prep them correctly. I've also seen people use a liquid type glue that soaks into the back of the tip.

This is the exact reason that Kamui came out with the 'clear' tip, because it doesn't absorb glue unevenly like natural leather grain does.

MrElPoderozo1 i want to buy one full box material tip. can you show me. thanks

do u play?

I line my tip up perfectly everytime! 😉

I repair cues and this video made me cringe, he didn't clean any of the dust off the tip after he roughed the back up so all that dust is in the glue between the tip and the ferrule. 240 grit on a ferrule sanding like that along the length of it, that'll leave flat spots, no paper lower than 1500 grit goes anywhere near the ferrules I have to clean up. Also did you notice, no close ups so you couldn't see the marks on the ferulle and tip I bet were there. I'm far from a professional cue maker but that was poor workmanship for me.

+Anon Ymousmie no it was pretty well done

+Anon Ymousmie i'm with ya, what a goof ball, taking sandpaper to the Ferrell,,,,,ouch

+hillbilly says the guy who can't even spell ferrule

@Insomniac Cuber Remember, being conversant in English is no qualification for an experienced billiard player. It actually may be a hint of ignorance, since the top 3-C players are all Europeans or Asians.

Al Senior you've got a point, I'll stand down

Agreed. Remember, he is talking to pool players.

Veancy you are only halfway there, snooker is marbles compared Carom billiards, which is what I play.

Oh its not. I mean he did put a tip on did he not. Therefore your statement is inaccurate. Also if you did actually watch the video he says that the best way to install a tip is still with a lathe. But being that moat people dont have a lathe at home. This method is one way to do it. But since your clearly the master at tip instillation. Why dont you back your claim up and actually tell ppl how you would do it or what you believe he has done wrong instead of just sitting there behind a computer screen and throwing shade without any facts or even any ideas of what is wrong with this method or what to do differently

Why duz it suck?
