the best tips?

[Harry Hossack]

Hi i play about 3-4 times per week and want a good tip that is going to last a long time. Anyone have any suggestions?
p.s. i currently use a brunswick but ive got fed up of them wearing down so quickly.

I practice daily (have a table here at home) for 3-5hrs per day. I've have used a Talisman S, a Kamui MH and a Phoenix M and I get 4-6 months out of any of them but notice they are all layered tips. OOPS, forgot to mention I also get the same results from an Aurora layered tip too.

Each one of these tip would be roughly equivalent in hardness to an Elk Master that is played in a bit

MW super tips are good i just got some pool baron medium tips they seem to be very good as well.

thanks for the advice, ive heard things about laminated tips de-laminating. Is there a way to prevent this? and also when i stick a tip on i cut all the overhanging tip off straight away with a stanley knife before sanding it down and shaping it. Does anyone know if this would muck the tip up?

Laminated tips can and sometimes do delaminate you cant prevent this but can try and reduce the amount of mis cues especially when playing deep screw shots as this is one of the main causes .

Your doing right by cutting off the excess before sanding and shaping ,

MW supertip just a perfect tip for snooker player. Just got the chance to played with it for 4 hours last night and this is by far the best tip I ever used. It does not grip the ball too much like the most expensive tip I used before. It just perfect for all type of side screw u need to use in snooker and this tip is suitable for people like me who always forgot to put a chalk on my tip before hitting the ball. I have to ordered from UK and it worth the money I invested to try on this tip.
