Do you buy direct from talisman?

Im going to buy some and give them another go, if there good enough for ronnie theyre good enough for me, when i used one before they were very good, just not as good at holding the chalk........

[ADR147]

yes i know the owner well and buy in quantities that ensure the price is good. remember the one ronnie uses is rock hard and for most people would be impossible!

Would like to try ne to see how they feel, do you think he would send me a couple of samples out to see if i liked them, obvioulsy if i did he would have a returning customer for life so it would work out for him?

[ADR147]

i doubt it - you can buy direct from them for a goodish price though, the trouble is you get bumped for tax when they arrive at your door!

[madcat]

As far as I know, you won't get tax. He had numbers of UK customers and no one complained about custom and tax!!

[ADR147]

officially you must pay tax - its the law when importing from outside the eu. and now tony sends by fedex and they will pay the tax for you then bill you for it - i know many people who have had this problem!

[madcat]

True but if you are not ordering bulk, let just say 25 cue tips. Tony will send it by post and he would classify the item as gift to avoid custom and tax.

[ADR147]

you would be breaking the law though! - i think if you order three its ok because there is a £20 leeway

Hi people

I am from South Africa and very interested in purchasing the Talisman Pro Snooker Soft tip.The problem i have is that i have to purchase it via the Talisman website but i dont see the Talisman pro snooker soft tip advertised to buy online on their website.why?


is there another website that i can purchase these tips from?

Please advise

Thanks

Hiya Maverick, The market for tips is what 30- 40 times bigger in the usa than the rest of the world put together so it's no surprise really that they dont advertise them as being suitable for snooker but the one type is on the site it's the soft pigskin tip. 3 for £15 last time I looked or you can get them off ADR on ebay just search for talisman tips and ckick the worldwide tag.

Makes sense to buy 1 off ADR first methinks as if you dont like them you've wasted a fiver tops.

ADR.. How long do you reckon one lasts in playing hours ?

[ADR147]

hard to say it depends how you play but more than an elkmaster. my current tip has been on for 18 months and still plays fine.

i Just bought 2 boxes of tips from ebay from ADR147.

Are they the soft tip?

[ADR147]

yes ! - actually you bought three - which is nine talisman soft tips, thats rather a lot if they are just for you!
