Have the ferrule, cap, or shank replaced

Is the ferrule of your billiard cue torn, worn, or damaged? At Van den Broek Biljarts, you can have the ferrule, cap, or ferrule professionally replaced.

We perform this repair for pool cues, snooker cues, carom cues, and break cues. You can order the desired repair online below and then send your cue or shaft to us.

The items on this page are repair services. Therefore, they do not concern individual ferrules or caps.

What is a ferrule?

The ferrule is the part between the wooden or carbon shaft and the tip. On carom cues, this part is also often called a ferrule or knuckle.

The ferrule protects the cue tip and supports the cue with every stroke. A damaged or poorly fitted ferrule can affect the playing characteristics of your cue.

When should a ferrule be replaced?

Replacing a ferrule may be necessary in the event of:

• A tear or crack in the ferrule

• A loose ferrule

• Damage caused by impact or falling

• A ferrule that has become too thin

• A crooked connection at the top end

• Damage after removing an old cue tip

• Wear on the cap or the stem

Are you unsure whether replacement is necessary? Please contact us in advance. You can also send clear photos of the top and the damage.

Professional assembly in our own turning shop

Replacing a ferrule requires accuracy and experience. The old ferrule is carefully removed. Next, the top end is prepared, and the new ferrule is fitted and installed.

We precisely finish the ferrule in our own workshop and turning shop. This ensures it aligns neatly with the cue tip and the ferrule.

Every cue is inspected individually. We take into account the type of cue, the diameter of the tip, and the material of the ferrule.

Replacing a ferrule for a pool cue

A pool cue usually has a strong ferrule that must withstand powerful impacts. Different requirements are placed on the ferrule of a play cue and a break cue.

We replace ferrules on standard pool cues and break cues. Choose the repair below that suits your type of cue.

replacing the ferrule of a snooker cue

The ferrule of a snooker cue is usually smaller and requires precise finishing. An incorrect size or assembly can affect the feel and balance of the cue.

We replace and modify the ferrule so that it fits neatly onto the tip of your snooker cue.

Replace the cap or stem of a carom cue

On a carom cue, the ferrule is often called the cap or knuckle. This part can wear out or crack due to use, age, or a damaged tip.

We remove the old cap and install a matching new one. Afterwards, it is professionally finished.

Also have the cue tip replaced

After replacing a ferrule, cap, or shank, a tip needs to be fitted. Would you also like to have a specific tip installed? Then order the desired tip repair in addition to the ferrule repair.

You can choose from various brands, types, and hardnesses. We are happy to advise you on a suitable tip for your cue and playing style.
