Do you wipe down your cue?

[Matt_24]

I thoroughly wipe down my cue with a soft cloth or dry paper towel after every session. I make sure to wipe off the ferrule, and end of the tip as well, removing any remaining chalk. This keeps my cues looking really nice after years of play. I can't stand a dirty ferrule.

Ditto. Kind of anal about my cue care Matt.

 

[MattPoland]

Nope. I like my cue. I’d rather it not be dirty and dinged. But I just kind of accept the natural life it will live. It is a personal extension of who I am. But also somewhere in my brain it’s just a tool. It’s there to be used and the put away so it’s ready to be used again later. I don’t care about its collectibility, resale value, or identity as a piece of art. It’s not to the extreme as Willie Nelson’s guitar “Trigger” but it’s very adjacent in my mind to that.

quik wipe and in the case.

I always wipe down my cues, butt and shaft, before putting them back in the case. I also clean my tips and do any needed tip edge burnishing, shaping and scuffing too....it takes me forever to pack up at the end of a session, haha. But I like knowing my cues are clean and ready to go as soon as I pull them out of the case, every single time.

I play wrapless now and can get sweaty hands at times so it's important for me to wipe it down so it doesn't get. I still did it when I had a wrapped cue but I find it even more important with wrapless.

Only when it’s humid.

The Revo has a very fine outer layer that chalk dust accumulation can wear down over time. Once that layer is broken it exposes the second layer underneath with fibers running in the opposite direction. You can feel the missing layer and it can’t be repaired… only replaced. Wipe your Revo more often than you would a wood shaft.

Same here

Only when it's dirty or dingy. My towel is a lot dirtier than my cue.

Yes. Microfiber cloth.

 

[9ball5032]

Yes, I wipe the shaft off with a Selvyt Microfiber Cloth and wipe the tip with bar towel.

Every couple days I clean my Revo shaft with alcohol.

I got used to taking great care of my shafts when I just used wood shafts. I would finish them with high grit sandpaper and wax, and they always looked brand new, like glass.

 

[Frosty]

Absolutely.

 

[Rusty in Montana]

Wiping down my cues is just as important as you're pre shot routine .at times I'll wipe down the shaft if I feel something may be on it while playing , table grim if you would .

 

[july9x]

Once every week or after a really long day of tournament.

 

[Chris]

I wipe down my cue after every session, at a minimum. I also always wipe chalk from the tips before my shafts go back into the case.

 

[King T]

Not a real wipe down. I wear a glove so my shaft stays really clean, but I do wipe ALL the chalk off my tip before it goes in the case and a quick wipe of the cue from time to time.

 

[Wayben]

Wiped down with a microfiber cloth, including the tip. Don't want chalk building up in the case.

Predator has a "Revo Recharge" service that can recondition shafts supposedly. I've got a couple I probably need to send to them.
