Answer 1

Gorrilla glue.  If the crack isn't big enough though, you'll have to open it up more so that you can fill it.  Then you may have to sand it back into the correct shape.  Can you provide a picture?

Answer 2

nah man.... you have to replace it. they are molded perfectly weight distributed. if you put tape or use glue on it, their natural balance will be put off and it's gonna suck to play with it. You can always put that cue up on a pedestal and have an elaborate story how it saved your life but suffered a crack or something fun =D

Answer 3

If the crack "near the tip" is in the white part of the cue that is fixable.  Find a pool hall or specialty shop that fixes cues.  That part of the cue, the ferrule, can be removed and replaced to fit in a way that would be like new.  Unfortunately, this is not something that you can do on your own, especially on that cue.  

If the crack is in the wood of the shaft, it will be best to replace the entire shaft.  Do a search on-line for the best price.  You already know the make and model of the cue, so finding the perfect match should be easy.  Some companies request the lower half of your cue to ensure a perfect fit.  

Hopefully its the first kind, cause buying a shaft can get pricey.  Either way good luck, hope this helped.
