Here's one of mine, 10mm Talisman soft on a 9.3mm ferrule

I've tried doing doing it but failed horribly. Can anyone shed some light?

I believe that it's all to do with the 10mm oversize tip on a 9.3mm ferrule .

There is a post on it , but i can't seem to locate it .

Trimming it to look like that looks pretty tough.

i tend to get something similar when after putting on a slightly oversized tip, i invert my cue and trim the excess side by cutting away from the ferrule (as opposed to making vertical cuts). then with a bit of careful sanding, i think you can get that \___/ shape.

good luck!!

Maybe if he sees this he might do a short video like Trevor did the other day, or maybe Trevor himself will do it. I know it involved a very sharp knife and it looked as tho he was cutting away from the ferrule

Dome shape?

Sorry I have no pics but I am using Talisman Hard at the moment (9.5mm) and I am surprised how much I like it now it has bedded in. I am far from being what I would call a good player and my sense of feel and touch is amazingly poor really. I feel like Neddy the cart horse compared to Red Rum.

The question I would like to add to this thread if the original author doesn't mind me hijacking here is what radius (shape) should the dome of the tip be?

My logical thought process leads me to think that it should be the same as the cue ball thus leading to maximum contact area between cue and ball regardless of the type of shot being played. To this end I use the cue ball as a guide when I am shaping the dome.

Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated.

First time tipping myself.





Is this okay?

[Acrowot]

For a first time, you have made a nice job of the tip JLiang91. I think when you have chalked it a few times, that the bits of leather will soon disappear.

get a fine grade of sandpaper like emery polish paper and that should take off the "hairs" on the tip

Oh, so the hair dont do good uhs? I always thot that the hairs are the main thing that helps to hold chalks =X
