Abstract

A cue tip conditioning device and method is disclosed which includes a circular array of pins surrounded by a casing which may be manually held to tap the sharpened ends of the needles against the surface of a cue tip. A beveled surface allows the rounded side circumference of the cue tip to be tapped and perforated without contacting and damaging the cue stick.
