Tip of the week; should the cue that you play with begin to feel sticky when it is running through your bridge hand, take care how you attempt to remedy this, it is not a good idea to take sand paper to it. Simply put a little water on a soft cloth and rub the surface of the cue until clean, then take a dry soft cloth and dry the cue, immediately. After that apply a little linseed oil, polish the cue once again with your dry soft cloth and you will be ready to play once again. If you take care of your cue, it will take care of your game. Sandpaper simply rubs the wood away leaving you with a cue too thin and whippy to play a quality game with.
