talisman vs pro granite tips

[goku]

hey guys i find myself in a situation which i'm wanting some feedback for to help make a choice.

at the top of the year i placed a talisman tip on my cue, which i must say was a brilliant tip and cannot fault it (i'm sure some of you would disagree). however i find myself needing to change the tip (a reason i'm not going to disclose ), and in my possession i have 2 talisman tips and 2 pro granite tips.

part of me wants to stick with the talisman tips and the devil in me wants to try the pro granite tips purely cause i have them to try. i know i'm not going to know what the pro granite tips play like unless i try them but thought i'd ask on your experiences to see if any of you have tried both the tips.

also just to clarify i did not buy the progranite tips its adr's fault i have them lol . many thanks

well mr dragon ball z, i reckon u shld try the progranite!
ive tried both, did like the feedback from the talisman, BUT i prefer the progranite. i found myself miscueing sometimes with the pro granite, and with the fear a big miscue might cause the tip to delaminate, i never played with the same integrity i usually do. so i stick with pro granite now. no fear and total confidence. it is a touch softer tho, but still gives plenty of work on the ball while gripping it nicely. couldnt hurt to try is all ill say

I agree with everything said above Pro-Granite tip are superb I put one on my cue 6 weeks ago shaped it and knocked in a 50+ the same night the feel and control the tip gives you is second to none the tip also stays in shape so PRO-GRANITE everytime.

can i throw another tip into the mix guys...
I am currently using a MW supertip, pressed not laminated.
I have a talisman pro soft and a pro granite in my tool kit, can change it anytime...
any1 used all 3 of these and found any distinct differences?
ie. what is the talisman better at than the mw or pg... or vice versa, etc...

[The Doctor]

It would be Talisman every time for me(i use med)
The Granite tip is the best pressed tip i have used but i just can't be bothered with the maintenance that comes with pressed tips, although if i where to use one it would be these.
The MW layerd tip is also very good as are loads of others but Talisman wins it for me.

[whufcarl]

which of these 3 tips will give u the most cue power?
i know its technique, but if u played the exact same stroke with all 3, which would generate most??

[the montrealer]

Hi i have used the pro granite tips and i find them very good and they are much cheaper than a talisman cue tip

just order 3 sets from adr and can not wait to get them
understand some pro snooker players are using them maybe some one knows cheers leonard from canada

[Asi]

Both are great/ the pro granite is the best pressed tip I've used

[Cossie]

Gotta say I prefer the talisman, like the doctor says once its on right there`s no maintenance mine has been on 6 months now and I have never touched it. I play 3 to 4 nights a week as well.

[Strickimicki]

Same here, Talisman all the way!

Once on, no more worries or refiling,the best tips I've ever used.

I've just moved from soft to Medium and they give a real nice feedback on whats going on up front. I'll probably be sticking with the mediums now, even though I'd love a bash with one of the Talisman WB tips.

was a sad moment for me when i took the talisman tip off served me soo sooo well , got worse cause when i was sanding down the residual glue left on the cue, i realized i sort of sanded down abit of the ferule too, only one word came to mind B*ll***s

anyways guys i have now put on the pro-granite tip and will let you know how i get on, will try and keep an open mind but feels like i should of stuck with the talisman, the worst thing is i cant get to the baize till 2morow night when i have to play my league match, so i'll be bedding the tip, giving it a trial run and also wanting to win 5-0 as i need to win all my remaining 5 matches 5-0 to win the league....tall order i think.

hope the tip stays on am abit worried about the ferule, many thanks for the feedback guys cheers
