Today i am going to follow on from my discussion on the snooker cue and talk a little bit about a very important part of the cue overall which is the Cue Tip.
The tip is quite possibly the most important part of the snooker or pool cue as is the only part that ever makes contact with the white ball. The tip is made of dense leather and is usually glued (although sometimes screwed) onto the end of the cue above the ferrule. The tip should be shaped into a dome structure using a piece of sandpaper or a specially designed file. The domed like shape will help the player impart more spin on the cue ball and should therefore help with positional play. Famously at he 2006 World Snooker Championship Ronnie O'Sullivan bit off his tip in frustration before losing the match to Graeme Dott and giving his cue to a member of the audience! Looking after your cue tip is very important. Try to keep it in good shape, keep shaping it into a nice dome and don't forget that chalk!
