The Cuetec Billiard/Pool Cue Accessory is something every player could use. It’s a 3-in-1 tool that is designed to shape, scuff, and aerates the cue tip, enabling it to hold chalk better for more consistent shots. It’s also compact enough to fit in your pocket.

The scuffer roughs up the cue tip so the chalk will stick better. The shaper will get you the perfect curve on the cue. And the aerator allows you to break up the surface of the tip, which will allow it to hold more chalk. Stop missing shots because your cue tips aren’t properly prepared.

It is available in 1-, 2-, or 12-pack.
