I have a small ugly stick that I bought last year for my daughter, and it needs a new tip top. The shop I brought it to today couldnt get it off --- heated and pulled with pliers, but it wouldnt come. I bought the tip top anyway and will try myself.

Is there a trick to the ugly stik? I'll cut it off if I have to, but something doesnt seem right with it.

Had to cut mine off. I think they use some kind of epoxy. Try a propane torch, maybe that will be hot enough.

use a little more heat.

Try soaking the tip in hot water, just under boiling. If that doesn't work cut the blank just below the old tip and replace with a little larger tip. Using to much heat will damage the blank causing future blank failure.
