Maintaining Leather Cue Tips?
I’m starting to play pool and I bought a cue with a leather tip.
I was wandering if you are supposed to shape, scuff, or even chalk them while playing.
Tip maintenance is vital to your performance. Leather tips have been the standard for a very long time. They come in different hardnesses and that will affect the way that the tips wear. Additionally, your style of play will also play a role. For example, if you stick to mostly center ball hits, the tip will flatten in the center. If you use a lot of extreme spin, the sides of the tip will wear down faster. For a standard 13mm ferrule (the white part before the actual tip), the curvature of the tip should closely match that of a nickel when viewed from the side. The reason for this is to match the curvature of the cue tip to the curvature of the cue ball. This match provides the greatest amount of tip to ball contact on your stroke. You can easily check this by holding a nickel behind your tip and comparing them. There are many great products on the market that can help you to scuff and shape your tip. I have a simple device on my keychain that does both and it has a notch carved into the side that is the curvature of a nickel for checking the roundness of my tip. The reason that you want to scuff the tip is so that it will hold chalk. The function of chalk is to create friction between the cue tip and the cue ball when hitting anything other than a center ball hit. You’ll notice in time, that you can only miscue on the outside 1/8″ of your cue tip. When you miscue, chalk will not stick to that spot on the tip again until you scuff it. Even if it appears that you tip is covered with chalk, it will not work if you happen to hit on that exact same spot again. So yes, you should chalk frequently. Even though you really don’t need chalk for center ball hits, it’s a good habit to get into. Have fun with your new cue. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
