Replacing a cue tip is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few minutes. It is important to replace the cue tip regularly to ensure that the cue ball is hit with the proper amount of force and spin. A worn cue tip can cause the cue ball to skid or jump off the table, which can lead to missed shots and frustration.
There are a few different ways to replace a cue tip. The most common method is to use a cue tip shaper. A cue tip shaper is a small, handheld tool that helps to shape and compress the cue tip. To use a cue tip shaper, simply insert the cue tip into the shaper and twist. The shaper will help to create a smooth, round surface on the cue tip.
