Tips What's the technical spec???

[detroitman]

Hi all I have a question about snooker tips, I like a soft tip and struggle to find one I like.
I have tried the usual suspects Blue Diamond, Elkmaster and more recent the "soft" Talisman which I found as hard as concrete,ADR sent me a new tip to try (many thanks again to ADR) which was medium , These are the pool baron saw they were selling a "soft" tip on ebay Brill service by the way, and again I found it very hard. So far the best I found have been the Buffalo Diamond again from ADR.
So finally onto my question am I right in assuming that it is the ammount of pressure used in making the tips determine how soft or hard each tip is?
or is it something else?
I really like the feel of a soft tip but finding is prooving so hard.
Mant thanks
Detroitman

Quite surprised your struggling too find a soft bd or elky...

Should be simple to find a soft tip...

You thought about cutting up one of the kids rubbers from they're pencil case?...:snooker:

If you want a soft tip, you should give blue velvets a try. They're the softest tips I've managed to find.

Just purchased a cue - queried the dealer on what brand of tip it had
He said soft OMin tip

Anyone got opinion on these

I seemed to get incredible reaction on cueball when using a touch of side.
