          I've been playing with a 9mm tip for around 7-8 months and I'm not sure whether to try a laminated tip or not

                There is a book called On Cue that is worth a read for 8ball pool

                    As Mopster said the book On Cue-the complete guide to pool by Mark Shepherd is definitely worth getting. Its the only book On UK pool I know of and takes you through every aspect of the game in detail.

                      Play someone of equal or higher standard for money. Sets to 6 for £10 or £20 a set. It'll help you focus on what you're doing,
                      as it's difficult to get into your "match" frame of mind, otherwise . IMHO

                        I play mostly 8ball and use a kamui tip. Chapters on here put me on to them and I love them - medium for me.
