I love the feel i get when using hard tips so i thought i would try some from the usa the tips i have bought ar called Rhino i think they are primarily for breaking in 9 ball pool so just thought i would give them a try... Has anyone else heard or ever had one of these on there cue ?

It'll be like playing with half a marble on the end of your cue, they aren't intended to be playing tipsComment

Well i played for 4hrs last night and i must say i was pleasantly surprised with the tip. Although it was the hardest tip i have ever had to trim it never felt hard when playing with it. Normally with hard tips you get a slight tang or ting sound like a loose tip but not so with this tip witch surprised me. Now for anyone that plays golf knows when you hit the sweet spot on the club face then it doesn't feel like you have hit the ball well i must say that's what every shot felt like with this. Tip holds its shape very well only thing i notice was it had to be chalked more. But all and all i am very happy with it and would defo recommend to anyone that likes to play with hard tips.Not played for 3 years and itching for a game....11-3-2017.Comment

I'm a hard tip lover, I try the Talisman XH earlier, to me is consider as soft.
I'm currently using the Omin red, but pressed for months before fix it on.
Sound "tang" when hit !! Exactly like what others people said "half a marble on the end of your cue" !!!
I can't play with soft tips, the cue ball seems not moving (follow or screw back) when use soft tips..... !!
Where to buy a Rhino tip ? Maybe should give it a try ~~~~~~~~Last edited by kadobau; 4 January 2014, 02:45 PM.Comment

You want to try sapphire tip no need to clamp or press alway play like what you mention "half a marble on the end of your cue"

Nvm you can use back the red layer Omin tip is 11mm in size, for you you need to compress it to be harder than.. i still have 1/2 a box tips balance

I'm fine with the own self pressed red Omin but problem is no consistency on hardiness.....Originally Posted by pat_wong View PostNvm you can use back the red layer Omin tip is 11mm in size, for you you need to compress it to be harder than.. i still have 1/2 a box tips balance
Some pressed a bit hard, some over pressed and become too hard ~~~~~~ !!!!
I still can play when it's too hard but worried that might damage the wood shoulder at ferrule !!!!!
Thus I'm looking for a real hard tip, originally is really hard & consistently hard.Comment

Mostly all snooker tip size is made to 10mm not easy to find 11mm tip to suit your 10mm ferrule
