I wish to put glued tips instead on it,
Well I have avoided this topic, as I have limited exposure to screw on tips.
The best looking solution will possibly cost more than the cue is worth.
Sooo, I would screw the tip in then take my razor knife and cut the leather off and replace with my chosen tip .( Lay Pro for me). Possibly I am not understanding why that wouldn't be acceptable solution.
Personally I would keep the screw in for the illusion of a clueless new bee. Kinda like Stealth mode. Wait a minute one of my favorite old fart hustlers did something similar with a $20 Montgomery Wards cue. Pretty sure the tip was screw in. He harvested lots of money using it. And oh yeah pretending he was drunk. Drunk Act Kelly was legend in the Tacoma area.
