I am willing to do this,
I have a small billiards pro shop, and if the person you purchase the cue from, want to ship the cue to me, I will install a tip of your choice and I will install the tip and give you the tip for Free,
I will also, cover the cost of shipping it to your student.
Get with me either way, if you go with the Mali, or if that is not the cue for him, contact me and I have about 5 cues that I am willing to do for your student and I will still honor the re-tipping for free.
Hope this helps, I always support the next generation of pool players and want them to start off on the right foot, hopefully they can 'pay it forward' to others as they get older.

PS. I will also do a shaft cleaning, re-seal, burnish and polish and re-wax the shaft and tip for you. Even if the cue is used, we will make it look and feel like glass, like new, actually when i get down they slide smoother and slicker than new!!!
