How to change a cue tip

[@Rantomon]

Always fascinates me to see people come up with innovative solutions such as your half pipe sander and your roller etc. Also the larger tip is a must it would seem. It'll save me a lot of hassle. From one problem solver to another I tip my hat to you. Thanks for the video, I'm now slightly less afraid of my 1st new tip application. Cheers.

[@JosephCini1]

Glad you enjoyed my method. I am very pleased with your comments :) Thanks!

[@acesinc1999]

This is a great demo video. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I have been changing my own snooker cue tips for years with little more than a razor knife and sandpaper, but sometimes I can take 30 minutes or more to do the job. I am a perfectionist so sometimes I even need more than one go to get it right. Lately, a few guys in my club have been asking for me to take care of their tips as well. Your creative invention of custom tools for the job is nothing short of simple genius and will save me a whole bunch of time in future. Thank you very much.

[@JosephCini1]

Thanks for your kind comment. I hope I was of help for you to shorten the process of changing a cue tip, making it easier and hopefully getting it perfectly centered at the first try. Thanks again, and hope this video was of good use :)

[@janetpatterson1449]

great idea for demo with song in background, made it pleasant and easy.......THANKS FOR YOUR CREATIVITY!!!

[@amadiftikhar4817]

awsome tips on tools, wood block and the oversized tip thanks :)

[@JosephCini1]

+Amad Iftikhar - You're more than welcome :)

[@dazharrison666]

reading some of the comments you would think Joe put the tip on with a catapult after dropping it in a greasy chip pan . to many people get hung up on things.when you strip away the bulls**t its a piece of leather stuck on the end of a stick as long as it is glued on securely you can shape it to whatever size and shape you like. ive seen tips replaced in 3 minutes during matches no tools no dust free environments. glue on, tip on, press and hold ,cut to size, shaped as you go. nice one Joseph i thought it was a decent video

[@SkipToMyLou_]

wow m8, that was a top thinking with that plastick pipe and a block of wood.Thank U for a lesson.The best video so far on how to...

[@JosephCini1]

Thanks for your wonderful comment. Glad it was of use. Thanks.

[@Snowbag1998]

The half pipe trick was awesome. Thanks a lot !

[@majj3690]

was gonna watch the tutorial but the song hit me right in the feels. its sad white guy hours now

[@zombie80580]

Bro a quick tip..put some tape around the ferrule like that black electric tape when giving it the last touch...so it wont leave no scratches all at and the jod would look much finer!!

[@mwc66]

right on the money. brilliant vid. cheers

[@caroleig]

Very good idea. Extremily easy!

[@brianb.2894]

Good job sir. Thank you.👍

[@nicnacz9367]

hi what is that small roller you used called??...where can I buy one ?? and what are you using to support the rear off the cue whilst its on the roller??

[@JosephCini1]

I don't now what it is called and where to buy one, I had constructed it myself for this specific purpose. To support the rear I used a small block of steel with a hole in it (to put in the cue) to act as a holder.

[@meloverse.]

what is the name of the tools that you used to roll the cue? Please reply that would be appreciated.

[@mattc162]

wonderful video, well done!!!

[@alvinsarmiento3144]

What type of tip did you used? Good job. No need to press the tip? Blue diamond tip should be pressed before you use. Please answer. Thanks.

[@JosephCini1]

Yes, the tip I used was a blue diamond one. While shaping it, you will be applying pressure so you don't need to press it again. (you would have already done the pressing process). Thanks.

[@raphaelegarcia9699]

Hello, Your video is very well done and helps me a lot to achieve the change of the tip. What is the name of the roulette stuff on which you place the cue. Thank you for your comeback.

[@Mario-fv3zs]

Thanks for the tip...!

[@rapboyz89]

good afternoon sir, amazing video, i do the exact same thing but for my pool cue.. is it possible for you to tell me what is the thing with the 2 rollers called? also an idea is when I put the butt on the piece of what looked like wood. u could have that hole much bigger and get a metal bearing with inner diameter to fit the cue snug and spin freely on the bearing ring system. looking forward to know what that thing with 2 rollers is called. thank you

[@JosephCini1]

+Aman Lokhandwala Hi, Thanks for your interest. I made the thing with the 2 rollers myself. Two small rubber wheels on which the cue can rotate freely. Good idea there with the bearing, might implement it as well in fact. Thanks a lot :)

[@rapboyz89]

Could u give me an idea on how to make the wheels thing. Because buying a 11mm ID or 12mm ID wheel bearing is 30+$$

[@rapboyz89]

Joseph Cini If you could even give me just a couple ideas, how to go about looking for stuff to build one It would be very helpful. Here in America, it's very hard to find people to change cue tips nad they usually charge $20-40 + tip charge

[@dennisboyce813]

What size pipe are you using. Thanks for the video.

[@JosephCini1]

Dennis Boyce I beleive it's a 1" pipe

[@parryyu3343]

amazing video!

[@Shiva.sss.1432]

Sir which mm cues use to 9.75 mm tip

[@stephenlambert7421]

Could someone give me link where i can get one of them things he rolls the cue on. 2:27

[@gavinhouliston]

You don't need one. Just some fancy kit the guy prefers to use. You just need to be patient when sanding. Look for how to change a snooker tip by John Parris

[@brendenrodgers9985]

What kind of tip do you use ? I use a Blue Diamond?

[@JosephCini1]

I normally use blue diamond aswell :)

[@louieearturo]

What size pipe is that? 1 inch inner diameter?

[@JosephCini1]

+Louis Hernandez Yes, exactly.

[@powerrangjer2001]

can i ask something..what glue good 4 use...

[@JosephCini1]

I personally prefer any super glue. Better yet, if it is a super glue 'gel'

[@powerrangjer2001]

ohh ok ..coz i use superglue also..but brand elepfhant..but no strong..btw thx 4 the info

[@PomBare]

A perfect tip, the only thing is, when you buy new tips, they tend to be really thick. I've been told never to cut the tip width way, so how did you get your tip relatively thin? Can you sand the face of the tip down to size? I thought the sandpaper was just for the sides of the tip? I speak as a complete DIY layman.

[@JosephCini1]

If I understand you correctly, I cut the tip from the bottom side if it is very thick to get it thinner. And yes, I sand the face of the tip, even so to give it the perfect shape for my liking.

[@TariqMahmood-yo5op]

i love this shape

[@rahilhabib]

What is the thing used to rotate the cue called?

[@JosephCini1]

I made the thing with the 2 rollers myself. Two small rubber wheels on which the cue can rotate freely.

[@rahilhabib]

***** what would the world do without geniuses like you, ehy?

[@rahilhabib]

***** and how was it a stupid question? I wouldn't expect mensa answer from stupid people. My question was very clear.

[@johnnyseatree1310]

​@JAMES DURHAM U.E. ​ JAMES DURHAM U.E. you are a rude dick. head.

[@johnnyseatree1310]

just making sure you know. You are a rude dickhead,

[@gregt8646]

whats point of putting new tip on when you sanded 3/4 of it away?

[@JosephCini1]

The point is using an over-sized tip so you can adjust it to your liking by sanding it off

[@ranikurai20]

what is the pipe size

[@JosephCini1]

+raniku rai - 1 inch inner diameter

[@jamzempire]

what grade sandpaper?

[@JosephCini1]

I use a rough sandpaper to shape the tip and then a fine sandpaper to refine it.

[@jamzempire]

yes but what grade sand paper? 240, 400, 800, 1200 ?

[@JosephCini1]

jovan madden I use 180 and 240

[@jamzempire]

ok thanks ;) good vid btw +1 sub

[@samuelj8592]

Why didn't you use a clamp?

[@sagar6731]

Nice video.

[@JosephCini1]

Thanks

[@nemlu1000]

I get a shower before i install the tip ;) the tip in the video has been on my cue (playing every day) for almost 6 months now, thanks for your comment ;)

[@jamswattana2597]

what song???

[@bluenose18738]

People, that is not how to change a tip! Check out the John Parris video if you want to know how to do it the right way.

[@walterbravo281]

I agree with you

[@owengardiner4628]

Bollocks there's more than one way to skin a cat

[@ajgorse4364]

you do know they actually have tools for this. An actual cue shaper and remover.

[@marcoantonio078]

You could also pay someone else to do this for you, In my opinion that approach is for unimaginative dullards. Usually the uncreative types.

[@dnbmania]

There was a lot of glue left on the ferrule which is unsightly

[@DM-kv9kj]

Is it really necessary to file a brand new tip down so much? I see so many people doing this when demonstrating putting a new tip on, but you don't need to take anywhere near that much off to get a good dome on the tip. Isn't that just wasting a lot of it? I really don't understand this practice.

[@2305denver]

Year old post lol but I sand mine down as I prefer the feel it gives.. When it's full size and box fresh it's to cushiony for my liking. I've now purchased a tip compreser that I put the tip in before I put it on, that makes a big difference

[@foolishwolf3700]

Step one, you say we need to chalk...

[@tonestones9445]

Get rid of the music. It's a cue tip tutorial.

[@rsburks]

I hate complaining about anything and I think it takes a lot courage to post something like this publicly. Since it worked I guess it is ok for this person but I can't help feel like this is either a persons first attempt at trying to do this or if it was just an example of the wrong way to do it. Im just scared someone will watch this and actually believe this is the right way to do it. I feel obligated to inform viewers to beware. If someone is looking for the right way to do it you might consider watching a few more videos and taking the best of all of the ideas out there and not just this one video. I'm not trying to criticize this person but rather warning/informing others so that they don't use this method.

[@rsburks]

The Pipe tool is a good idea. It would be good to have 2 different sizes for both the dime and nickel type tips using this tool. Depending on the 'radius of curvature' the individual person prefers.

[@JosephCini1]

While I respect your opinion, I feel you have criticized my method without actually pointing out what you think is wrong with it. Just as a capitulation, using this method allows your tip to be centered every-time, anytime!

[@rsburks]

Joseph, you are absolutely correct. I should have been more clear. I'm not sure if I already have this ability or not but I would rather contact you directly instead of posting more here. And I dont like my post and thinking about replacing it with something more specific what doesn't sound so horrible. my email, if it is allowed is [e-mail]

[@rsburks]

someone pointed out to me that even though this is not a great way to do this (my opinion only), if this is a one-time repair his method requires almost no special tools to buy whereas my method uses tools that are made for this and there is a cost involved that many would not want to make. The cost should definitely be taken into consideration here. And this is cheap, EZ and works for some.

[@lchristian3980]

you sanded it way too much, way too aggressively
