Q-Wiz Shaft Cleaner & Burnisher

Pros: exceptional results, different textured sides for different purposes, simple, very inexpensive, not time consuming, not much mess, takes next to no space in cuecase. Cons: it's too small in my opinion. Thats it. Only 1 con, and it's not really anything? Actually, it's kinda huge, at least to me. I've used numerous other similar patches and products, this one absolutely has netted the best end results. No contest. Ten minutes with this and my cue shaft felt smoother than when brand new (minus a couple dings anyhow). I even pulled a brand new unused shaft out of it's packaging to check that. Unfortunately this product is simply too small, and that's its Achilles tendon. It constantly fought to slip out of hand, and succeeded several times. I caught all but one of those slips. The one i didn't catch resulted in a couple new divots in the shaft. This product slipped from my hands, the cue latched on for a millisecond and took off. Lesson learned, don't simply "palm " this product. Switched to lightly wrapping this around my cue, but that left very little to try and hold on to. It kept trying to remove itself from my hand. I love the end results, but i loathe the hassle and the risk of more damage. Make this even just one inch larger and I'd order it over and over and over again. I would order them for every player on each of my drinking teams. I'd order them for family and friends. I'd offer them up during our league white elephant exchange. But.... this thing is not adequately sized so I'm still stuck trying to figure out all those bloody gifts to order instead.

Just the right touch to polish and smooth. Wipes beer right off shaft. No sticky residue.

Received mine today and couldn’t wait to give it a try. There is definitely a noticeable before and after and not near as abrasive as a scotch brite pad. I used to run a grey scotch brite on my shafts to clean/smooth them but this does the same job but better. I used it on my first gen OB1 shaft as well as my custom kielwood shaft and both feel incredible after using the q-wiz.

It isn’t as big as it looks in the picture but it works well

I retip Pool Cues for people as Dom’s Billiard Services in Ceres, CA. I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. This is my favorite tool to clean a shaft with and burnish tips with. I sold these over the counter for many years too. Here is how it works. You know that green and yellow Brillo sponge you use to scrub and clean dishes with? Well, this works similarly. The dark side removes dirt and oils off the wood surface of your pool cue shaft. Center it green side up in your palm. Wrap your cue in it and stroke the cue inside it closing your palm and do so at 6-10”” strokes from the end backwards. Then move the cue up that distance. Do the middle of the cue shaft and repeat to the next area till you’ve scrubbed all of the surface you stroke when shooting pool. Once you’re done scrubbing all contaminates from the wood, repeat with the light beige leather side. I’m going to do a tutorial with one tonight on my YouTube channel. You can also find it on my insta and FB pages. Dom. V. AKA Dom’s Billiard Services. As for the picture, that’s how aLePro top looks like after burnishing it with this pad.

Works fantastically

I've been using this product for over 16 years. I get around 4 years of use out of it before it wears out and I need to purchase a new one.

First of all, the shipment was quick and I think the price was fair for the quality of the Q-Wiz. However, I believe it needs to be at least 100% larger to easily use. I found that it frequently slipped out of my hand when trying to use it. When it arrived, I used it on my playing and break cues, and then the half dozen of my house cues. It did a really nice job on the cues, but I became really frustrated trying to hold it in my hand without it coming loose. I’d say that it’s great for your cue bag to have in there, but something larger is needed for taking care of several cues at your house.

Works great and does not affect the cue shaft and only had to swipe the shaft a few times and is smooth and not sticky anymore.

Love these for my wood shaft. Hold up well. Best I've used

Like the finish it creates!

great price

yup....clean it and use it again, again.
