i bought a box of these to give them a try, put one on last night and was very suprised at how well i tplayed, it compares very well with the pro granite tips i have used before, they play very firm from the off and needed no playing in at all. good feel on gentle shots and can get plenty of screw and hold chalk very well.

cant fault these tips for the price if you like a nice hard feeling pressed tip!

Looks like pro granite but much cheaper...How do you rate them?

[Mellow Yellow]

very good but only played 10 frames or so with one. if you like a pro granite tip then you will like these.

Might give them a try at that price! Do you think they're more suited to a player who likes a hard tip or a soft tip? Never played with pro granites either

Searched some Chinese website, it is said these tips are made for cheap club cues.

[Mellow Yellow]

definately a harder tip will.

[willtyson]

Thanks, might give them a try. I wonder if they'll eventually lose their touch and responsiveness if what Eupohony says is true?

[Mellow Yellow]

maybe, i will update after a few more sessions, although you would think a tip is a tip.

[Euphony]

Do not very sure about that, waiting for further updating mate.

Any change in the way these played Mellow? :snooker:
