Installing a new billiard cue tip is an important part of maintaining your cue and keeping it in good condition. Properly installing a tip can help extend the life of your cue and improve your game. To install a new tip, you will need a few basic tools, so make sure you have everything you need before you start. Here’s how to install a billiard cue tip.

The first step is to make sure that the tip you are using is the right size for your cue. Tips come in different shapes and sizes, so it is important to choose the correct one. Once you have selected the right size, it’s time to remove the old tip from the cue. Start by using a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the ferrule. Once it is loose, carefully slide off the old tip and keep the ferrule and shaft clean so you can use them again.

Next, take the new tip and press it firmly against the wood of the cue. Then, apply water-based glue to the tip before sliding the ferrule up from the base of the cue toward the tip, pressing it securely into place. Once the glue has dried, use a burnisher to press the ferrule and tip together.

Finally, use sandpaper and a burnisher to smooth out any bumps or irregularities before replacing the screw in the ferrule. Now your new tip is installed and you are ready to take your game to the next level.

Installing a billiard cue tip correctly is essential for maintaining your cue stick and improving your game. With the right tools and technique, you can easily install a new tip and enjoy more accurate shots.
