Tip on My Break Cue Shattered

[MitchAlsup]

With the front end, the ferule, and the hole in the center or the shaft, the center of the tip is not supported--and that looks like where the tip broke.

It is cracked, have a G10 break ferrule on it. I bought mine on Ebay and my buddy changed mine.

Thanks for all the observations and suggestions. I hadn’t noticed that the ferrule was cracked. I don’t think the cracked ferrule contributed to the tip shattering, but I’m sure that the lack of support in the center of the shaft was a big factor.

I will check into replacing the ferrule and will put either a Samara or White Diamond tip on it. I opted for a Samsara tip when I bought the cue. I liked it, but the layers separated.

You must have one hell of a break.
