Happy New Year!\u00c2\u00a0 Start your year with a tip. Or 31 of them. Once again, I’m attempting to blog every day in January<\/a> to start the year off right. This year, resolve to play better pool and you’ll be rewarded by a sense of accomplishment and to quote a friend, “A chance to win tens and twenties of dollars!”<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a>
Happy New Year! Light Painting over my diamond. No photoshop trickery at all. Click for larger view.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Below is a video I shot on my Canon 5D Mark II <\/a>in my kitchen. As you’ll see, I’ve already removed the old tip, cleaned and prepared the gluing surfaces, and glued on the new Black Heart tip. All that remains now is to trip and shape the tip.<\/p>\n

This end of the pool cue is where the ‘rubber hits the road’ or in pool parlance, ‘The tip hits the cue ball’. Don’t forget to chalk. Don’t forget to keep your cue tip in ship shape. I’ll revisit the subject later this month.<\/p>\n

I’m still looking for ideas for this month’s instructional tips. Please contact me<\/a> or post something on the forums (anonymously even!)<\/a> to help me complete this series of 31 articles.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
