Things You'll Need:
- Nickel
- 80-grit sandpaper
-
Step 1
Place a nickel on the edge of the pool cue tip to compare the shape of the tip with the rounded edge of the nickel.
-
Step 2
See if the pool cue tip follows the roundness of the nickel. If it doesn't, you will need to sand the tip of the cue to make this shape.
-
Step 3
Use a new sheet of 80-grit sandpaper. With the nickel as your guide, very gently sand the tip of the cue until it matches the same rounded shape as the nickel.
-
Step 4
Do not over-sand the tip. If you sand the tip too low, you will not be able to play on it and have to purchase a replacement tip. Sand as little as possible.
-
Step 5
Play pool as usual. It should be several months or even years, depending on how often you play, before you will need to re-sand your pool cue.
