Cue tips

Hey guys, here's a tip for removing all those dings and scratches from your cue shaft.

If you've dropped your cue or bumped it on things, you've noticed some damage on the shaft, these are barely noticeable when you play, but what do you do about those deep indentations that affect your stroke?

To raise the indentation, you have to wet the wood. That's right, soak up the area with a little water. The wood will absorb the water and sure enough the wood will expand a bit. After letting the shaft dry up, just sand the raised area and then polish your cue with your favorite wax or sealant.

There you have it, a great and easy way to fix your stick!

What's your cue?

What kind of cue stick do you have? Is it branded or customized? Do you have a break stick too? I'd like to hear about your choice of sticks, and why you chose them.

I use a custom made cue stick that is a little bit longer than a standard cue by about an inch and a half. It's great for those table length shots that need a bridge.
