Abstract
Device for shaping a cue stick tip, including a body, a scuffer mounted at one end of the body and a coiner mounted at the other end of the body. The scuffer is for rough cutting the tip, especially a new tip or badly worn tip, to impart a desired overall shape to the tip, and the coiner reforms the tip which has been distorted and dimpled as a result of repeated cue tip-ball contact to remove the dimples and impart a smooth and uniform exterior contour to the tip.
