Abstract

A device for conditioning a cue tip roughens the tip and applies chalk. The device has a tubular housing having a closed end and an open end. A concave abrasive sieve is secured to the housing at the open end. The concave side of the sieve faces outward from the housing for abrasive contact with the cue tip. The housing receives a storage cartridge for storing a chalk powder for distribution through the sieve onto the cue tip.
