Just cannot get a good tip

[Gear101]

To stay on a brake cue for 2 years, just dislike the sound of the hir when the tip comes off, easy run out... lol

 

[measureman]

It's a break cue not a brake cue.

 

[maha]

the tip you asked for is for you to learn how to put a tip on.

 

[jimmyco]

Dude can't catch a brake.

 

[MitchAlsup]

Sounds to me like you need a lesson on putting tips on properly, not one on selecting the tip to be put on.
How do you::
a) prepare the shaft
b) prepare the tip
c) what glue
d) clamp the tip
e) how do you trim
f) how do you shape
g) how do you burnish
???????

Can't end there. Keep trying.

It could be your lucky brake.

I have my own lathe, I try different tips all the time. Two years on a break cue is pretty good.....

Everything here^^^^^is what you need to review and learn. My cue guy always used 3m super glue.

It might be top right spin.

 

[alphadog]

Actually it probably isn't bad tips/application: it is your stroke and contact with the cueball.

 

[maha]

yes if you eliminate all the tip contact you will never lose a tip.

just prepare the surface and use gel super glue that hasnt been opened before and is fairly new.
dr. dave has a long video on how to do it.

This is what you get when you use a low deflection tip on a standard shaft.

Key on super glue is that less is more--a little mound maybe 3 mm diameter and 1 mm high. You want it to bond to both surfaces, but don't want excess glue between the surfaces since it has tremendous adhesion but very low shear strength, which is a fancy way of saying that it isn't very strong as a material and will can pull apart if it is thick between the surfaces. I have found with the gel super glues you can skip step d. Press it hard for about 20 seconds, then let it sit for a while. Clamping won't make any difference at that point.
