Don't use sandpaper as tiny bits of grit can become embedded in the tip. Get yourself a small diamond file and use that.

I read that in the link I gave. Seems strange as majority of players still just carry sand paper. I see guys knocking tons then just reaching in case for quick scuff of sand paper.

Try the craftsmen cues tip shaper. It should last decades and fits in a case.

Had mine for five years and it's barely worn.

Got mates who ask to use it when we practice! Otherwise, they've got a bit of sandpaper in their case lol

How tight are they?

Only when they see me. The rest of the time they're struggling with sand paper! And they've got good jobs! They can earn a tip shaper in 30 minutes. It's less cost than a Kamui tip but would last decades. Like folk have said, get a nail file from poundland if nothing else.

These are a cheap alternative, just be careful not to scratch the ferrule, masking tape it; four for a quid in poundland:



No-one should be using sand paper really.

I still can't seem to shape tips correctly even after all these years ! Going to go to see Mr Parris tomorrow to get a new tip put on in time for the League season that starts on 4th October .

C'mon Neil, what you got, five thumbs? Put the tip on centrally and take it for a spin with the CC file; literally. Simply hold the tip shaper to the tip and rotate the cue over and over again. Beginning with the tip shoulder.Apply even pressure. Easy.
