  • Step 1

    Pass the tegus through the hole in the ball tip and tie the tegus firmly. Tie the knot several times to prevent the knot from coming out of the hole in the ball tip.

  • Step 2

    Cut off any excess tegus, apply a little adhesive to the knot, and use a flat yattoco to close the ends of the ball tip.
