NEW Talisman Tips

[MattCash]

I have had a lot of replies asking for tips, i will let everyone know when i send tips.
As i said before the tips may be available for sale but you should contact Talisman billiards.

I asked Tony about the tips last week, this is his reply, regarding them.

Thanks for your message. We are in the final stages of testing the new tips and I hope for them to be available within the next 6-8 weeks. They will initially be available on my website but then should also be available through my distributor in the UK, Peradon.

Kind regards,
Tony

I have been testing them for a while now and hope to get some feedback from other people testing them soon. I would imagine they will be on public sale for the end of September.

[The Doctor]

Please no more requests for tips I don't have any left and those who will receive one have been notified.

I was fortunate enoughto get one of these tips and here's my
thoughts
i found the tip to be easy to cut and shape
once fitted the tip held chalk very well played and gripped
the ball very well
I agree that the tip felt as another poster put it a piece of stone
when it first went on but quickly settled down and played very
well indeed they are noticably better than other talisman tips
I've tried and hold the chalk much better and play better in
general
I found the tan kamui tips to be my prefered laminated tips
until trying these and the equally excellent aurora laminated
tip
I would be happy with either of these tips in the future
when they become more readilly available

[The Doctor]

Thanks for the review Mick.
I am sure these tips will be a big success when officially released.

Thanks to The Doctor for the tip but i'm afraid I couldn't get on with it at all. I struggled to get much spin unless I was hitting the cueball very hard, the tip just seemed very dead. Maybe I got a duff one?

[The Doctor]

Thanks for the feedback. I am sorry the new tip did not suit you. I am surprised to hear you felt it difficult to generate spin as my own trials have found them to be more receptive. Perhaps it has been a faulty tip as they are still under testing. I will send your views to Talisman together with all the others.
So far this has been the only negative response to the new tips but i do appreciate it none the less. Cheers.

I was lucky to get one for the test and after some weeks I totally agree what Mick Dundee said few posts earlier. I've been using Talisman soft for some three years now but I will definately stay with these new ones - hope they will be on market soon.

Best tips so far

I finally ordered some talisman soft tips for my cue..

And the difference it brought to my mediocre cue was amazing...

Just did one mistake...

I ordered a 10 mm tip for my cue which has a ferrule to fit 10 mm so had to really concentrate while putting the tip...

would advice all of you to order a 11 mm tip and cut of the rest as this tip is very easy in cutting and shaping..

Hope this tip stays with me for some time...

So no update since October - any news if these are available yet as I think I might like them, going by the mini reviews in this thread.
