My first time retipping my old cue

[Dan_x]

Had a go a retipping my old cue and I think its turned out really well to be honest. Very please with the results. After these pics I shaped the tip a bit more. Might still have a bit too much depth but will go with it for the time being.

Tried a cuesoul laminate 10mm tip from amazon. A certain youtuber seems to like them so thought why not?

Will try it this week hopefully and if I like Ill try on my main GBL cue, which reminds me I need to post pics of that as it a new purchase.

Anyway pics....

Very nicely done
Shape looks good.
Maybe a tad thick for some (not me ) still but that is better than too thin, as you can not add leather back on

Let us know how it plays for you.

What did you pay for thay tip ? I recently bought a century tip and first week of playing couldnt really adjust cause i was shaping and sanding doing a little each session but working like a treat right now holding chalk amazing

Update:

Took both cues to have a game and tried it side by side with my GBL. Noticed it wasnt as reactive as my GBL when playing screw shots but put it down to the GBL being a better cue. Still, played it for a bit and seemed ok. Decided to try the cuesoul tip on my GBL.

Played again today and came to the same conclusion, not as reactive. I think the GBL had a ASIA tip according to Stu at green baize which seemed decent enough but probably not quite hard enough for me.

So....ordered a ADR147 MJW laminated tip. Heard good things so looking forward to trying it. It was a toss up between that and a century G4 or G5.

That will play a bit harder as it beds in and compresses down, I wouldn't give up on it yet, the Asia tips are the same.
