@TheRealEmskiHelp why an asshole have to make a sick comment?

[TheRealEmskiHelp]

@tslabjr7 My comment is in no way offensive. You're the one thinking disgusting things.

@TheRealEmskiHelp you would want a chick jerking you off with sandpaper.... ouch

[TheTangoTony]

is the grinder okay for making the tip flush with the ferrule with layered tips?

[ixotec]

talk about high maintenance :P

[topjimmy66]

Is there anyone in Contra Costa County (California) for these services?

Thanks for the feedback ! I don't use sand paper on the shaft.. it's actually a very fine grit brillow pad, same one you use for washing dishes, I use this to remove excess oil from the shaft before cleaning it with Q clean

Very good video, the only thing I would say negatively is you should never use sand paper on the shaft of the cue,only the tip itself.other than that,it was a very good example of how to replace a cue tip.

home billiards how are you? I am living in a country where they rob us with their very high prices and people complain about it and they are never good in repairing cue sticks, selling even cue sticks that is another case,i have to buy it under the table or win a competition or a race. I would like to get the cue stick stick holder where u take off all the tip leftovers, and the cue measurement board,are you selling it? you are making a great job what you guys do...thank you

god she is beautiful all the billiard places down here in vegas have really ugly people with really crappy attitudes they dont treat your stick with respect and they charge you time and supply's

Yes, We re tip Snooker cues as well, The procedure is the same. The speed is more so because I use Loctite glue which allows it to dry quickly.

can i say my nephew is good at retipping cues but u r excellent and with speed do u do snooker cues love x

Thanks for the feedback

1) a le pro tip is a hard tip mainly for breaking cues, some use an elk master if they want more draw or control on the ball because it's softer

2) we use loctite glue which is a fast setting glue but its used for wood and leather.. and holds for a long time

3) I grind the sides down because i use a tip thats .5mm larger to get better accuracy for sizing

4) The chemical is Que polish, it's seals the wood and the leather

5) finally we shape to a nickel or dime radius

Being new to pool cue re-tip I think this video is great! I agree that there are more fancy ways for re-tipping but for beginners likeme it was fine.

1. you should use la-pro tips, as opposed to those prechalked ones, those are terrible quality tips.

2. you should use a slow dry glue, it takes longer to dry, but it holds better in the long run.

3. why did you roughen the sides of the tip (grinder), Ive never seen that before, whats the purpose?

4. what are those chemicals you applied to the shaft, i suspect one was polish, but what were the others?

sorry if this sounds overly critical, and thank you for your post.

@bankibandit

1. Those are not pre-chaked. Those are either elk master or blue diamond tips. They are better than LePro imo.

2. Super glue works. I put a layer on a tip , let it dry, sand flat, then put another layer for the ferrule to grap.

3. To make it flush with the ferrule.

4. Sealer then a wax polisher ( carnuba is fine ).
