talisman tips
umm interesting post.
I feel i should be allowed to comment firstly because i know most of the posters (i wonder if thats the right term!) personally and secondly because i sell thousends of them!
there have been some interesting points made and i wanted to put a few comments down for you to consider.
1 tips are very much a personal choice thing and there is no right or wrong and no better or worse. whatever you like is best for you.
2 although talisman tips are much more consistant than elks etc i would be prepared to bet that i could select in the way that trevor described earlier from those aswell. the question is though, can joe public?
3 how well a tip has been fitted is more likely to effect your game than the tip itself!
4 why should the fact that ronnie o'sullivan and john higgins use talisman tips mean they will suit you? firstly the one ronnie uses is like glueing half a marble to the end of your cue and i would advise against that unless you can play the way he does - which you can't! and secondly why would a professional snooker player know anyway, they clearly have the same mental issues as the rest of us otherwise they would not change cues and tips etc the way they do !!
5 once you find a tip you like stick with it - ditto with cues while on the subject.
6 a talisman will last about a year. a well fitted elkmaster will last a couple of months on average. (for me and i play a lot) a badly fitted one might not last the night! the need to replace them so often i have found is usually because the player is cueing badly and destroying them rather than because of the tips.
7 mike wooldridges tips, like everything to do with mike, are overpriced. but again if you like them stick with them. each to their own.
