Fil-Pik Pro 3in1 TTTEC Cue Tip Tool | Tip Edge Compression & Burnisher

The Fil-Pik "Pro 3in1" Tip Edge Compression Cue Tip Tool is designed for players who demand precise edge control, side burnishing, and optimal chalk retention. Unlike basic traditional maintenance tools, this 3-in-1 tool specifically targets leather edge sealing, side compression to prevent mushrooming, and top-surface conditioning.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Materials: High-impact transparent body, heavy-duty end caps, metal pin cluster, and non-abrasive fine shaping grit.
• Dimensions: Compact size (approx. 3" long x 1" diameter) for easy storage in any cue case pocket.
• Primary Function: Prevents tip mushrooming, seals leather walls, aerates compressed leather, and maintains proper dome curvature.

3-in-1 Tool Functions & Instructions

1. Tip Prick / Aerator (Perforator)

Function: A cluster of fine metal pins breaks up glazed, hard-packed leather without removing material. This re-opens the grain structure so chalk holds deeper and lasts longer between shots.

How to Use:

1. Remove the protective cap to expose the metal pin cluster.
2. Press the pins gently and directly into the top surface of the tip in a straight up-and-down motion across the dome.
3. Note: Always press vertically—do not twist or scrape while pins are engaged to avoid tearing the leather fibers.

2. Radian Tip Shaper (Dome Polishing & Shaping)

Function: Features a contoured concave dome lining that smooths and maintains the uniform curvature (radius) of your tip without aggressive sanding.

How to Use:

1. Place the concave shaper end directly over the tip of your cue shaft.
2. Rotate the tool back and forth while applying light, steady downward pressure until the desired dome shape is restored.

3. Edge Compression Burnisher (Mushroom Repair & Wall Sealing)

Function: The interior tapered cylinder applies targeted side-wall compression. Friction hardens and seals the edges of the leather tip, smoothing out swollen or mushroomed edges back flush with the ferrule.

How to Use:

1. Optional: Lightly moisten the outer side edge of the tip (water or burnishing liquid).
2. Slide the tip end of the cue shaft into the tapered clear cylinder.
3. Spin the tool back and forth rapidly around the tip (or roll the shaft between your hands). The friction and tapered fit compress the leather edges tight and smooth.
