Pad between tip and ferrule

[Sheldon]

If you face the ferrule carefully with a razor blade, the amount taken off is so minuscule, you could probably do it 50 times before any noticeable amount was removed.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep that in mind.

I thoroughly agree. But with a lot of new cues the ferrule is only 1/2 inch or less, and with some people always wanting to try a new tip, I can change a lot of tips before reaching the ferrule. Just trying to err on the side of caution.

I use a carbon fiber pad on any expensive natural materials.

Seeking feedback from this platform about whether installing a pad between tip and the ferrule is beneficial or extraneous.

I think that Predator uses a soft ferrule on its Revo and they use the pad so the tip stays on because without it the tip has give and the soft ferrule has give and the pad doesn’t.

Where do you source the CF pads? I'd like to try one.

It was posted on here a few times that CDs and DVDs make fine pads. Just get a 5/8 or 9/16 plug drill and have at it.

Carbon Fiber Tip Pads

Carbon fiber is made of a long chain of carbon atoms that yield an extremely strong material. Its tensile strength is actually stronger than steal but very lightweight. This pad is ideal for break cues and jump cues. Set of 3.

America lookout if your CDs come up missing look at the end of my pool stick maybe you'll recognize it

Seyberts has them for 23 cents each. 30 cents each at Kamikaze, but they have a better color selection.

Those are regular fiber pads. He was looking for Carbon Fiber pads.

I remember OB gave me a bunch of carbon fiber pads at a SBE

I buy a small sheet of carbon fiber and just cut them out.

Sounds like the simplest way to solve the problem. Thanks.

I use .015 thick black paper phenolic pad.
Never liked the vulcanized paper.
Only use 1MM thick cf pad for breakers.
Too thick for my taste.

nice! was about to order some g10 red sheet 1/32. itd be easier/more conveinent if pred would sell the red phenolic pads and or if mullers wasnt out of carbon fiber pads. but if u can make ur own, even better!
