Hello SnookerLoopy 08,

A picture says a thousand words, I like the way you have this setup. I will try to replicate and try it out.
Thanks,

Nice work bob~~ I always have trouble shaping the side of the tip to same level with the tip..

[BoBnoGG!n]

i trim with an extremely sharp knife, till its completely flush with the ferrule, then i use a bit of tape, and fine sand paper to sand the sides, then i get a bit of slick paper and rub the side of the tip so it goes hard n smooth, then i sand n shape the top =] takes about 15 mins all up then i use wirewool to sand the side of the ferrules to polish it and remove excess glue that i didnt take off with the knife!

those ferrules ARENT polished yet btw =]

The curves are pretty good, but are they too thick ? the feel may be not solid
It is oly my humble opion, please correct me if I am wrong

[BoBnoGG!n]

The thickness works for Pro Granite tips. any other tip and i normally thin it down by sanding or filing, but with pro granite, u get a lot of feel through it even when its thick. trust me.

Thank you for your reply, Is the pro granite tips durable ? expensive ?

[BoBnoGG!n]

pretty cheap. about twice the price of elks. very very durable. IMO the best pressed tip to come out ever. really responsive, doesnt need much playing in, very responsive to get work on the cue ball, and grips extremely well for a hard tip. not just that but gets a lot of feel through the cue aswell.

Thank you very much. I'll try
