hi all need to get a new tip for my cue but dont fancy doing it myself.
so does anyone know of a place that can do it for me i'm based next to heathrow dont mind traveling but within a resonable distance cheers for any help

[hotpot]

Why dont you have a go yourself , its the only way youre going to learn . There are two very good guides on here that will help you plus there is another good one on ebey .

Once you try a few times you will soon get the hang of it . The worse that can happen is you wont get it right first time so take it off and start again . As long as you dont go wild with the glue sandpaper and knife then you cant do no harm .

why not find old rack cue, or buy a 5 quid jobbie n practise

[lennon11]

go for it yourself..its easy,just be carefull not to get glue on the shaft.

personal preference really...but most people use a laminated tip nowadays.tips such as talisman etc..loads of articles on this site about tips,just do a search

[hotpot]

Elkmaster or blue diamond as they are cheap should you make mistakes and need to replace . if you fit it wrong then as long as youre careful taking it off you can rub it flat and use again . You will also need to make sure the top of the cue is flat and clean .

Its so blooming easy I cant understand why people dont try it themselves. Just follow a guide, whats the worst that can happen? you'd take it to a shop as you were going to anyway....

It's only easy if you know what you are doing . I've re-tipped loads of cues but i've only done my tip a couple of times . Don't know why just don't like doing my own tip . Always take it to Robert Osborne in Tooting .

kizzie, go to this site and learn with Mike Wooldridge how to tip your cue.

As hotpot said, buy some Elkmasters or Bluediamonds, they are cheap and try yourself.

Get some gel superglue.
