If i can add something here alot of people do not know this 1 the Lock tight glue he,s using could be bad or could be another company over seas could be making this glue and putting the Lock tight logo on it making it look like the real deal. It happens all the time. 2 Ive heard out of every 100 tips being sold 10 of them will have some kind of defect in them. making them pop off , not playing like there supposed to, ETC. You ever have one of those tips that theres just something not right about it no matter what you do to it??? Anyways guys i enjoyed the video , hope to see you soon THE CAROLINA KID - BRAD FORDE
What I Darcy failing to do everytime is he doesn't roughen up the surface that the tip is being glued to. I use like 120 grit. In addition, you have to put grooves in the surface of the ferrule to allow more surface area for glue to stick to. I also have a jflowers cue and put a ultraskin fire medium tip on myself with no lathe without issue.
Yeah I did see him rough up the tip but not the Ferule like you said. Ironic cause he's been doing my tips for years and I've seen him do exactly what you described...but he didn't do it here😔. What say you @cuejos_customs?
My j flower was before you could get a white sight plate. I did put a kamikaze White sight plate on it when I retipped it. I feel better about that decision now lol. I think it's a better material in J flowers put on their white sight plate
@@HereAfterBilliards awesome. If you decide to get a break or jump break cue I highly recommend using a bullet proof tip. They are actually really good shooting tips as well. They jump amazing and you can really spin the ball like a leather tip can. Even are fairly low deflection unlike phenolic tips. Toam 2.0 and them are really close. But I think the bullet proof are a little better. Just a tad softer, but jump better somehow
@@jasonsanders9054 That's interesting. I can't leave my existing Jumper. Darcy actually made it for me probably 10 years ago. It's amazing. I might be in the market for an actual breaker though. I use an old Mali outfitted with a phenolic tip. I'll keep your suggestion in mind.
Great question. In my opinion...no way! Just take the Moori Medium that comes with the cue. But have the plan that as soon as you get the cue, take it to who ever does your tips locally. Rip that piece of garbage off an pay your local cue person to put the tip you want on it. No offense to J Flowers, but you don't know who's doing that work there at their factory. Plus support your local cue person by giving them business. Then you know it's done right
I humbly disagree with you. One of the best aspects of the tip coming off a number of times is that we highlight the use of cheaper plastics. That's something I didn't know before. 👍THANKS FOR WATCHING THOUGH
@@HereAfterBilliards It was not a casual comment. I watched this video in detail.... I have shop in a pool hall as well.... 15 years experience with tip replacement and cue repair.... and I humbly disagree with you. Apart from other issues I noted here is something that you may not know; the use of accelerants with superglue weakens the bond. Have a nice day.

This comment was awesome and thank you for teaching. I learned a lot.
Try using a non gel type glue!
I'll let him know👍

Great video long time fan of Darcy and his channel love his Ramen cue.
He's awesome. Love sitting with him and hearing his opinion. 👍. I'll have to check out this Ramen cue you speak of🔥😂👍
@@HereAfterBilliards it's definitely interesting. He is a wealth of information and knowledge.
That turned really well!
As always I appreciate our visits!!
The ramen cue is on hold lmao, but perhaps I’ll bring the blank to TS ;)
@@Cuejo well I enjoy your content and your craftsmanship
@@Cuejo I've said it before I'll say it again. You're a natural infront of the camera! This one was easy to edit. 👍🔥
Scuff both the ferrule and tip with 80 or 120 grit and score both with a razor and it will never come off
👍 Totally
i didnt finisch the video , i m am minut 10 and allready love this guy ! he is reaaaaaaally good
Right?! He's very articulate and has tonnes of knowledge👍🔥

You're probably right👍
@@HereAfterBilliards how is the tip playing? I've considered trying one of those
@@jasonsanders9054 I'm releasing a short in 15 minutes😂😂😂. You'll see for yourself.

Would you recommend upgrading to a Kamui tip when ordering a Jflowers cue?

They use pvc for the ferrule.
I'll look into that. Are you suggesting PVC would affect the adhesiveness to the tip?
HE IS REALLY GOOD AT THIS.... NOT
