    Pro Players & Hard Tips

    I think I get it. The Pro Player wants a hard tip to prevent unwanted spin on the cue ball. This to me seems fine. Is there a trade off? Like a downside to this?

    What Glue For Tip Replacement ?

    Its a cheap cue with some kind of cheap leather tip. I used Tweetens 10 minute cement & the tip flew off the next day on a few breaks. I used Duco Cement next & the tip flew off again. I would like some readily available glue you can get at the hardware store or walmart. Thanks!

    Its a Mcdermott cue. I read bee wax & chapstick work to lube the wood. How about Carmex which is mainly bee wax? The pin goes in smooth until the last half inch & then its a Bear to crank it down all the way & uncrank it for take down. Any advise is appreciated. Thanks!
