              Out of interest do you sell many pro granites still? Was there any pro's you know of who used them or still does?
              Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning...

                      30 tuns or so per month - yes one or two pros use them usually those who were using titans.

                        After using a couple of the common tips i really like the supertips, don't see the point in trying anything else, though i do wish they were available in a bigger size, my cue is a 10MM and its tricky getting them on right when the dexterity in your fingers isn't that great.

                          Thanks for sharing, I rate them highly myself, was just curious to know whether that was the same for others at the highest level...

                              If you're a beginner, stick to the elks or the Blue diamonds. You won't be able to spot the benefits/negatives of a layered tip. Likewise if you don't play a lot.

                              There's too much talk on here of folk who chop and change tips after a few hours play. That's just ridiculous. You can spot a bad (duff) tip from the first couple of shots or even when you're shaping it. But you really can't form an opinion on whether a tip works for you or not without playing 2/3 times a week for a good 2/3 weeks.

                              I play a fair bit and have just tried the pro granite tips on my new cue for the last month. At first it felt great, needed no time to play and I thought I had found my new tip of choice. Two weeks on, fully bedded in and it was too firm for my taste.

                              Chucked an elk on and even though it's still not bedded in. I'm more than happy with it compared to the Pro granite. I think we get suckered in to thinking that if it's new and we've paid a premium for it, it must be better.

                              I also hear the comment "it's like a good elk" a lot. You know what else is like a good Elk? Oddly enough, an elk

                                Good points, I'm not as good a player as you, however i do play around 4/5 times as week, also play in the league and although i may not be knocking in huge breaks, I'm getting more consistent, I'm not very good using side so try to avoid it for the time being, but since i have stuck on the supertip I've noticed that I'm getting much more action on the cue ball than ever before, now this could also be down to the fact that my cueing is starting to improve as I'm playing more, but i think the tip is definitely helping, whether I've had a couple of these bad tips folk talk about, i can't be sure but i would definitely recommend these.
