I've been retipping cues for years, and all the guys in the pool league that are not confident come to me . I've replaced ferrules also with just basic tools . Just key to always have a sharp blade . Have watched lots of videos just for curiosity and I'd say yours is probably the best . Just a great basic tutorial with no faff , well explained with good visual .
Thanks. Everyone has their own way of doing it. Hope my way helps people out
Thanks so much for making this look so easy and simple, sick and tired of all the videos showing ppl with these machines that spin the cue, i mean cmn we not all pro cue tip installers, and im sure the pro tip installers dont need advice on how to install
You are so welcome!
Top tutorial. Thanks... I'm now re tipping cues for customer at our snooker centre in Spain 😎👍 Happy Days. They're loving it 😉👌
Nice one 👍
This is brilliant thank you for uploading this.
You have done a nice job of it I might give it a try as normally I get my mates to change the tip 😁
You're welcome. It's not as hard as you think. Goodluck
Great video. Simply explained .
Very professional tip replacement 👍
That was a fabulous tip
Brilliant video, really helpful, thanks!
Thank you 👍
Real nice job sir. Thank you.😊👍
Thank you
Thanks for the info
Great video!!
Thank you. Glad you found it useful
great work dude.
Glad you found it uself
Very helpful. I was careful not to snag my shaft
Glad you found it useful 👍
Excellent video, very informative. I do have a question tho, I've recently bought a cue off Mark Williams at an exhibition and it doesn't have a tip, rather a sort of "filler tip" I guess you could call it. Its not soft like an actual tip, it's hard so I'm not sure if cutting it will work? I was wondering how would I go about removing it to actually install a proper tip?
Follow my guide and you should be good to go. Sharp blade will remove it no problem
This is a great video u make it look easy do u think I could use wire wool and sandpaper on my joint of my cue ?
Wire wool is great for cleaning the thread on your 3/4 joint. I wouldn't use any wire wool or sandpaper on the wood
Great video. How do I know when my tip needs replacing? Are there any common signs?
You'll just know. You won't get the same reaction as you usually would on the cueball. Also when the tip wears down to the ferrule its time to change
Hey there Cuebald, if I have a 9mm ferule, should I put an exact 9mm tip on there, its hard to get it right, or does it have to be bigger tip then trimmed down? which way is best? If it should be bigger, how much bigger? many thanks.
I'd always advise going slightly bigger and trim down. Century tips are 10mm which would be ideal to trim to 9mm
I remember somebody gave me a wafer which you slightly Wet with water and placed it underneath the tip let it dry then glue the tip on top , the wafer was really thin and once you glued the tip on and sanded it all down etc it acted like a cushion or shock absorber and it did wonders for my game , don’t really know if they are still available , it’s defo worth a try and you will notice the difference straight away !
Sure you found one already - but they’re called tip pads. Mostly for american pool cues, or ferrules that shave away at the tennen (like mike wooldridge cue ferrules)
What do you think about buying a 14mm tıp and stucking it onto the snooker cue? İn the area that i live i cannot find a decent soft 11mm tip so i'm thinking about picking up a 14mm kamui.
Will i get away with this plan?
Thanks in advance.
Ye no problen. It ust takes a little more work to trim it down.
@@CueBald great! Thanks!
Thank you for this very elaborate video, i noticed some mildly deep scratches on top of the ferrule when my tip fell off, do you reckon i should sand it down or should i just install a new tip regardless?
I wouldn't sand the ferrule down as you could make it uneven
It's somewhat uneven already ( 0.2 or 0.3 mm)so i thought maybe sanding with a fine grit (400-600) may level it and remove the scratches, or do you think the scratches won't affect the tip installation that much? Sorry for the many questions, there are no cue repair shops in my country
@Uzum Kristian difficult to say without seeing it sorry
Yeah figured as much, just one last question, what grit paper you use to flatten the tip?
@Uzum Kristian not sure. Just something with enough grit to scuff the bottom up so the glue sticks better
Also don’t forget to burnish the edge of the tip 😊 stops it from collapsing in on itself.
I've never had to burnish a tip and never had one collapse on me
Ive ordered a Kamui Super Soft tip, heard some good things about em, hope im not disappointed as it cost £15 for 1 tip
I've heard they're good. Closest I've had to a Kamui is probably the Monstar tip and that was superb. I'm a big fan of layered tips 👍
@@CueBald i watched venom trickshots and it was amazing how much spin he was getting using it.
I found the Monstar to spin a lot too
Yes I've got a Kamui... get some great reaction from the cue ball
Got a new cue coming in a week or so, looking for some advice on tips, going to be used for 8 ball pool and 8.5mm. Should I go layered or use something like a century soft?
It's so subjective and down to personal preference. I've used both layered and pressed tips over the years. Currently on Century G4. But had same performance out of a layered talisman trinity tip. Try a few and settle on one i would suggest
@@CueBald yeah understand that, just with the cost of 1 layered to the standard type, want to be sure before start throwing big money away lol
@scottmorley9173 I understand. Send me a tweet and I'll send you a century tip of your choice
@@CueBald thanks will do, presume same name :)
Have tweeted :)
That cue..... Might aswel have used a stick found in the woods before you got your hands on it! 😂
I just got my tip changed at nearby club but when I try the tip doesn't seem to be crabing the ball and easily to miss cue can you give me some advice thanks
Try getting some sandpaper on it to scuff it up see of that helps. It's just put a hard tip on and had scuff that up to get grip
Alright I'll try hopefully it will be better btw thanks so much for the advice 😀
What are these 3 in 1 tools on amazon that 'Poke' the tip? Are these things any good and is it a good idea to aerate the tip?
The spikes are to remove any hard chalk that's compacted into the tip
I've just started playing, I got a cue of my partners grandad and I'm gonna replace the tip with a Century G1 Tip, would you say that needs 'Spiking'?? Thanks for replying
@@tuph8814 no. You only use the spike tool after the tip has been played in over weeks/months. You may not need to use it at all. Just shape the tip with sandpaper
@@CueBald okay, thankyou for your help, also a great video
Still a clear vertical scratch on the ferrule and you haven't burnished the edge of the tip
what type of wet and dry sandpaper do you us3
I'm not too sure what grade that was now. Just get a very fine grade for buffing the ferrule up
I've got into snooker within the last 6 months and bought a basic snooker cue for around £30 not too long ago, but cue tip that was already fitted when purchased doesn't seem to hold any chalk and one side of it is raised more than the other. Therefore, should I just change the tip with a new one that came with the cue?
Yes I would recommend replacing the tip
I had this on a new cue. Seemed to be a protection for the end. Just removed it and put proper tip on.
Where is the best place to get a cue tip replacement kit?
I made this kit up myself from stuff off Amazon. Links to everything are in the description mate
CueBald ohh right brilliant mate appreciated!!
pencil parer is fucking genius cant believe i never thought of it
My tip is slightly leaving a gap from Farrell whats the matter? Or its only my eyes error. I feel a little gap seems tip is not sitting on Farrell.
Difficult to know without seeing it. 👀 sometimes if you put too much glue on you'll see a layer of glue inbetween the tip and ferrule
@@CueBald yes i guess its the glue. Because when it has no problem when i play no odd sound or something like that. Can i try a little scrap on base of the tip? Or shall i continue playing with this?
@fazal hayat if its not causing a problem keep it on. Depends on how fussy you like your tip looking. The break from life guy his tip is horrific!!
@@CueBald i always like my tip to be so tinny around 8.80 mm it always works for me. But eventually its falls of. I like to play screw and spin shot more on the bottom of the cue ball. Its mu natural way of playing.
@@CueBald aye break from lifes tip, its a real corker🤣🤣👍
Is it worth replacing the ferrul altogether
Do you mean for that cue? Or a cue in general?
@@CueBald any cue in general if its in poor condition
@Damian Challis generally a ferrule will last a lifetime if looked after. Brass ferrules are soft so you can lose a bit over time with retipping and cleaning etc. You would only generally repace it if it has chips or dents in it or worn down. I'm now using a titanium ferrule which is a much harder metal
I see you have a century g5 in there how do you like it ?
Never tried it. Still in the tip box haha
Lol your sponsor pays you good
@@michaelnewman5625 I play with a G2 or G3 so I think the G5 will be too hard
I have an elk pro on now I like how it hit but wore out quickly, I like to play hard and dig into the cue ball , I’m just not sure what tip to try next lol
Ok cool thanks I think I’ll try a g3!!!
Have u used the titanium ferrule I believe you are as pretty sure u had a video how's the ferrule are u liking it
Ye I had one fitted to my old cue. Whippy shaft so it did make a big difference
@@CueBald so in other words u had a whippy cue that already causes deflection on shot having a titanium reduced that deflection and restored some balance in a sense so I wonder how u find that balance if a cue is stiff does this potentially mean a titanium ferrule wouldn't be as great ??? What's the best cue tip you used to date as might think of getting a different one but not used anything other than elkmaster or blue diamond so I m unsure as so many variables out there like cc tips but four grades kamui etc to name a few
@Covert Narcisistic Awareness In a nutshell yes. It helped massively with the whippy shaft. My new cue is like an iron rod and has a brass ferrule. Very little deflection, similar to my old cue with the titanium. I won't bother putting a titanium on the new cue. As for tips. I've been using century for a few years now. I've used G2 G3 and G4. Like them all. I have loads if you want me to send you some freebies to try.
@@CueBald thats very kind of you and yes would be most appreciated as I say I ve only ever used blue diamond and elk master so far and would like to try others to see what I like best but have absolutely no idea on any of them myself but would like to try others so would be much appreciated if you could thank you I understand there are many variables such as the cue the tip etc lots of things but don't know unless u try em out I suppose how do we go about sending them out privately?
Do you prefer soft medium or hard tips? Century come in 4 different grades you see
Why use a pensil sharpener?
It helps cut the tip close to the ferrule whilst having having a smooth finish. Cutting down with a Stanley blade can sometime leave jagged edges
I saw a good tip (sorry) for centralising the tip. Wrap adhesive tape around ferrule with about 1mm overlap. After you've applied glue just drop tip into the tape collar. Apply pressure as it sets. Only need about 2 wraps around the ferrule.
U ain't cleaning the ferrule, u r ruining the ferrule using sandpaper, do that a few times and it be totally coned in
You wouldn't do that to a normal clean ferrule I agree but that ferrule was in a bad state and needed something slightly abrasive to clean it up. It's a very fine wet and dry foam pad which wouldn't damage the ferrule as a one off. Craig Fitzpatrick uses it on his ferrules
I would re-tip my cue if I had a tip. SORRY YOU KNOW
I swear to god my rerrule isn't flush, making my tip lop sided
This can happen with brass ferrules from lots of tip changing. Brass is soft ya see. You would need to replace it or have it machines square. I would highly recommend a titanium ferrule
@@CueBald cheers m8, I have seen them and heard lots of pros are using them now. Problem being id end up breaking me cue if I try it myself, gonna need to find someone in Plymouth that does cues, problem being we have fek all snooker clubs down here anymore, rileys closed, Victoria snooker clubs gone, the Belgrave is now flats, I'll have to ask to old folk up the legion 😆
Absolute terrible tutorial! 1. Never use sand paper on a brass ferrule just wire wool to polish it up. 2. Why did you not cover the ferrule with masking tape to stop glue getting on it
1. It's not sand paper. It's a fine grade foam pad which is less abrasive than wire wool! It was recommended by a reputable cue maker actually! 2. Masking tape can be used for people who are not confident in changing a tips. I've done loads and experienced enough not to get any on the ferrule 👍
Calling the guy out for using sand paper and not masking the ferrule . Did you not see the state of that cue before he repaired it .
Personally I think he did a great job .
Poor tutorial no description of sandpaper grands Stell wool grades no covering or protecting the wood. Not good at all.
No need to protect the wood when you're good at it 😁👌
@CueBald but people who are watching this are gonna be learner's so they're not gonna be good at it. Kinda defeats the object of the video also no details mention about grit of sandpaper wool etc.
@mickmck13847 grades of sandpaper will vary depending on tip hardness. If people aren't confident they should mask the cue - that goes without saying!
