| Attachment Method | The tip is mounted on a small threaded brass or metal base that screws directly into the ferrule of the cue. |
| Material | The tip itself is typically made of leather, like traditional tips, but pre-mounted on a screw base. |
| Easy Replacement | Can be quickly unscrewed and replaced by hand, making it convenient for casual or beginner players. |
| Size Compatibility | Usually comes in standard sizes (around 9mm to 10mm diameter), but you must match it to the cue’s thread size and ferrule type. |
| Ideal for Beginners | Popular with beginner or leisure players who want a simple solution without needing cue tip glue or tools. |
| Less Customization | Screw tips may offer less fine-tuning in shape, hardness, or performance compared to glued tips used by professionals. |
| Durability | Generally, less durable or consistent in performance than high-end, glued-on tips — they may loosen over time with frequent play. |
