Proper way to scuff/shape a cue?
Hello,
I just recently upgraded and bought a nice cue from Players. For a new tip, how often should I attempt to scuff and shape? More importantly, what is the appropriate way to do so?
Thanks
The hardness of your tip will make a difference in how often it will need to be reshaped. A harder tip will require much less maintenance than a softer one. Soft tips have a tendency to mushroom and get out of round rather quickly. The best tool that I've ever come across for shaping and scuffing your tip is called a Willard cue tip shaper. Just Google it and you'll see examples. It's cheap and available at any billiard supply store for about $10. If you have a 13mm tip, you'll want to maintain the curvature of a nickel. If your tip is slightly smaller, you may want to have the curvature of a dime. Just a few turns of the Willard tool will do the trick. Most importantly, you must scuff your tip after any miscue. The tip will not hold chalk in that spot until you do so and you greatly increase your chance of another miscue.
