I think M.W. Supertips are the best on the market however I have one small criticism THE PACKING The tips are fixed to a small card with some adhesive when you remove a tip a small piece of the card always gets stuck to the back you have to pick this off before you can sand the back this is a pain if you have short nails, you also have to be careful not to indent the back, I have had some that appear to have been stuck on with superglue they are so hard to get off. I expect Mike will answer with his usual banter eg "Grow your nails longer" or something like that but I have had my say ! I will still use the tips as I think they are great.

the card comes off with sanding -
Yeah, I noticed that... I just rub it flat against a piece of sandpaper and it comes right off.When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. GET MAD!!Comment

I must have had some that had been stuck of to strongly as I was in danger of over sanding the back to get it off.Originally Posted by jim evans View PostComment

It does come off with a bit of sanding i agree, however i did first think 'thats annoying' when i had a pack.
Its the cheapest way to package them i would suggest. A box or little pot would be much more expensive than a piece of card and some glue. I magine there is some margin being made however at £12.99 for 5

we only use paper glue like pritstick, for the very reason it comes off easy.Originally Posted by denja View Post
never use superglue to stick them on, so no idea why you had some stuck on so hard.
sorry for the inconvenience but i've always found it comes off pretty easy.Comment

Mike, wouldn't it be easier to send the tips out stuck to the end of one of your cues ? It just looks more professional that way rather than being stuck on a piece of card. Ive just done some quick maths, the cost to send out 5 cues would be apporx £50 + the £12.99 for the tips so that would be £62.99 delivered, i'm sure people would be willing to pay a little extra knowing that the tips would be coming on Mike Wooldridge cues.sigpicComment

actually, you're wrong. little pots cost just a few pence and you're disregarding labour costs. it takes much longer to package them the way we do compared to simply dropping them in a pot.Originally Posted by Deepscrew View PostIt does come off with a bit of sanding i agree, however i did first think 'thats annoying' when i had a pack.

i'm not saying the packaging is great, cos it's not. but it was a means to an end, that has stuck around along time.
in fact, it's a right pain in the ar*e, so the fact you're all crying about it, means it's time i gave it some more thought.
in the meantime, keep your nails long and quit your whining ya big babies

things like these.. http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/20055...Types&var=sbar
probably cheaper than your glue sticks, although staple prices have been climbing recently...---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
