play in talisman

[shooter8]

hi all, i have ordered a talisman pro soft,i have never used a layered tip before. i have looked on all the posts about them on here and it seems they need a playing in period before they settle. how many frames approx would you say it takes? as i don't want to bin it prematurely if it doesnt feel right at the start.but how soon will i know?

I would say something like ten hours

thanks mate, i will give it a go,i have used elks and bd but it seems to be pot luck if you get a good one, i tend to like a soft tip so a bit worried that the talisman will be to hard for me, but thanks to your advise i will now know how long to give it, but i would guess it will get harder with time which doesn't really suit me.

Talisman Tip

First time i tryed a TALISMAN i used a (M) but found it way to hard. So i got (S) i could'nt recomend a better tip, They do take a bit of getting used to. Fit them then forget Worth the switch, Regard's George:snooker:

I'm thinkin of givin 1 of these a whirl next i've always used elks mainly but i've got 1 of mikes super tips on at mo and that seems ok but the reviews on these talismans soft looks too good not to try.

ive just got in from work and the tip has arrived, i have just super glue geld it on, it is now in the clamp,it was a bit tricky to line it up as it is a 10mm and my cue is about 9mm,i don't think i will be doing any trimming as it looks fine.i am going out to play pool in 3 hours time ,do you think it will be ok to use? or should i leave it to stick longer? I'm a bit impatient to use it.:snooker: also should i scuff the tip a bit at first to hold the chalk? thanks.

No need to clamp with superglue , just put pressure on for around 15 sec .

I would ccuff the tip a bit as it holds the chalk better , just a coulple of rubs from the middle of the tip downwards and turn the cue to scuff the entire tip .

thanks for all the good advise.
