What do you guys do with tips that aren't suitable to use? I tried to use some of the spongy Elk Masters, LePros, and Triangles on house cues, but I think they're more trouble than they're worth. But, because I'm a lunatic, I can't just sweep them into the trash.

Maybe I can grind them up, add some glue mixture and make myself a new jacket?

I hear if you toss of couple into the blender with your protein shake, they'll act as a "natural male enhancer" -- whatever that means. ;)

Soak them with cyno and use them on jump or break cues.
 
I heard if you place one under your tongue when you play pool it cures the yips. :-)

Ah!!! I'm going to try this tomorrow. If it doesn't help, I'm coming after you.

Turning them inside out is how you REUSE them (just before shaking the f**k out of them) , not what you do to those unsuitable for use. The only rubbers I know of unsuitable for use are the ones that my girlfriend poked a hole in the end of. As for the unusable tips, you might try boiling water to harden them and use them as break cue tips. Just a thought.
 
you're supposed to shake them? wow, you can learn so much around here. as far as tips goes i normally just toss them. but some people soak them in a variety of things then press them in a vice.

You are supposed to toss them. After all that's why they're called BAD TIPS. I've throwed away full boxes of LePro's at a time.
