Would cue oil help the performance of a cue that has never been oiled?

[kramer8]

I have heard that cue oil nourishes the wood. Does it increase screw or make the shaft stronger or stiffer or play better?

[fred.england]

You are partly right Kramer8......cue oil protects (feeds) the wood and will only soak up what it needs. It also brings out the grain of the timber in your cue so it will look soooo much better with a bit of tlc. It will also make it smoother in the bridge hand......just smooth on with a soft dry cloth and wipe off any excess.....leave to dry and it will be ready to go.

No, it wont generally make your cue play better simply with oiling.
The responsiveness and firmess you are talking about is determined by the shaft timber, taper, balance and things like that.
But if you dont take care of your wood it may dry up, or even crack, then your cue is ruinned.

For screw shot especially if you need the power, it might help abit if your shaft is smooth.

[Blanchon147]

Do you oil the whole cue or just the shaft?

[ADR147]

if the cue is a proper cue you can do all of it.

yes it will affect the tip...depends how much oil that made contact with the tip tho...might be ok to lightly sand the tip again if the oil has not soaked in to the tip if it has the i am afraid you will have to replace the tip for a oil free one.

[bigandyg]

Oops change the tip.

next time, oil the cue before you fit the new tip ... much safer!

[lateralus]

HOw often should I oil my cue and which oil should I use?

[j6uk]

I got oil on my tip once,was a good tip too, and I miss cued every other shot, so change the tip and don't do it again lol. Maybe next time put some electrical tape around tip and ferrule and burnish the oiled cue with cardboard, next day wipe with a damp cloth and burnish again.. Hopefully you don't have a ebonx butt, if you do or there is any lacquer on the cue the oil will not soak in.
