A cue tip is the very end of the cue — the only part that touches the ball. The right tip determines shot accuracy, spin and control. The SportGoods catalog carries tips of various sizes and hardness. Prices start from 8₾.
Diameter (size)
The tip size must match the end of the cue shaft:
| Game | Tip diameter |
|---|---|
| American pool | 12–14 mm |
| Russian billiards | 12–13 mm |
| Snooker | 9–10 mm |
Hardness: soft vs hard
- Soft — holds chalk better and gives more spin, but wears faster and needs frequent shaping.
- Medium — a balance between control and durability; the universal choice.
- Hard — lasts longer, good for a powerful break, less spin.

Single-layer vs layered
Layered tips hold their shape and stay consistent better and delaminate less — the professional standard. Single-layer tips are cheaper and good for beginners.
When to replace a tip
Replace the tip when it's too thin (worn below ~3mm), flattened or hardened and no longer holds chalk. A fresh tip restores shot accuracy and control.
