What are these Blue Diamond Plus tips like?

Also want to ask ADR, do/did you use a file or sandpaper for your tip shaping. Nice job done on that tip in your guide.

Thanks for the guide. I managed to change my own tip after repeating the video a few times to make sure.

If I may, how to polish the brass ferrule? Mine is a 2nd hand cue and the ferrule seems dirty to me.

0000 Fine Wire Wool or very fine sandpaper (2000 Grit).

Would using 1000 or 1200 be able to polish the ferrule?

Not to a smooth polish, no. You would still have lots of small scratch marks although it would be a lot cleaner. And be careful as constant use of sandpaper will eventually reduce it's size, hence the recommendation to use 2000 or above. I do use a bit of 1500 to get any glue etc. off but as soon as I'm down to just brass I move up the grits so as not to start wearing the brass down too quickly.

yes sandpaper even the very fine stuff can wear down a ferrule pretty easily.

How about emery paper? I used them and find them pretty good.

ADR: As mentioned by you, you told me to cut the 14mm Kamui tip into half and then stick it onto my cue. How do you cut the tip into half? Its rock hard and I'm not even on the halfway mark.

you need a sharp knife!

Always use a brand new blade when retipping.
