The JOLLY CUE is a specialized tool for maintaining billiard cue shafts, particularly for leveling the cue tip and smoothing the ferrule. Proper use of this device ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cue by keeping the tip and ferrule in perfect condition. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
How to Use the JOLLY CUE for Shaft Maintenance:
- Prepare the Device:
- Remove the device for flattening the ferrule, clearing any previous attachments or disks.
- Insert the proper disk into the pin: Choose the appropriate abrasive disk based on the work needed, whether leveling the cue tip or smoothing the ferrule.
- Position the Cue Tip:
- Place the cue tip (or multiple cue tips) into the hole that corresponds to the tip’s diameter. This ensures a secure fit, allowing for precise leveling.
- Level the Cue Tip:
- Rotate the device gently while pushing it towards the disk. The abrasive disk will come into contact with the cue tip, flattening or leveling it evenly. Maintain light, consistent pressure during the rotation to avoid over-sanding the tip.
- Shaft and Ferrule Maintenance:
- Insert the shaft into the proper pass that matches the shaft’s diameter.
- Block the shaft by softly rotating the knob, ensuring the shaft is firmly but gently held in place.
- Rotate the device while pressing softly downward, ensuring that the abrasive part adheres to the ferrule. This will smooth and maintain the ferrule’s surface, preventing damage and ensuring even wear over time.
- Finishing the Process:
- Continue rotating the device with soft pressure until the ferrule is smooth and the cue tip is evenly leveled. Regular use of this tool will keep the shaft, ferrule, and tip in top condition, improving overall cue performance.
Purpose:
- The JOLLY CUE helps maintain both the cue tip and ferrule, which are critical for precise play. By keeping the cue tip flat and the ferrule smooth, the cue maintains its accuracy, power, and control during games.
Using this device routinely ensures that your billiard cue performs consistently, allowing you to play at your best.
