ue Re-Tipping Abbey

Cue tips are hidden treasures in the pool world. Cue tips steady a shot and equip a snooker player with accuracy and power. Cue tips aren’t often thought about- especially when beginning to play snooker but their importance grows with your knowledge of the sport. If you neglect your cue tip, over time it will become worn down with the constant contact it makes with the snooker balls. Once it is worn down, the cue will slip from the balls causing a miscue. Keeping your cue tips in healthy condition is extremely important whether you are new to the sport or experienced.
So how do you re-tip cue tips?
First you need to remove the tip. A sharp knife is a common instrument to use to accomplish this. Once it has been cut off, ensure its remnants are fully removed by using sandpaper to sand the top and edges down. It’s important not to do this step at an angle. You want a flat surface to work with. Next, apply some glue on your clean and level surface. There are a lot of options for glue which is designed for your cue tips so read reviews carefully before making your decision. Once the glue covers the surface, place your new tip over the area. It needs to be central and hang over the edges evenly. Apply pressure to the glued tip for a few minutes.
When the glue has dried, you then want to cut the brand-new tip to size. You can use the sharp knife to slice the excess off. You want to be left with a smooth surface which is flush with the ferrule around the whole circumference. Use the sandpaper to accomplish this. Finally, you need to sand your tip to achieve your desired shape.
While all this may sound simple enough, there is a skill set involved. Many companies that do cue re-tipping will tell you that they have had some major renovation work to do on many cues that come in because of individuals attempting to retip their own cues but making a bad job of it.
Sometimes it isn’t worth the threat of failure. When there are companies out there which are experienced and skilled in re-tipping cues, it does serve to save yourself time, energy and risk. Instead of a botch job, you will have professional workmanship which you can be proud of and have confidence in. There will be no miscues!
