I got my tip through today from adr, and was happy with the speed of the delivery 
So im going to start my review, i havent had chance to play with it yet as i have just finished fitting it so i will break the review into 3 parts; fitting, initial play and after 10 hours of play.
Firstly it is a very nice looking tip, i know it means nothing playing-wise but i think adr has done a great job in the design, it is very cleanly cut and looks very professional.
So,
Fitting:
The tips come in one size (which i forgot to check!) So im not sure of the size but im sure adr can help with that if anybody wants to know, i would take a guess at 11mm.
My cue is 9.25mm so it was fine cutting it down to size.
Which was extremely easy! My blade probably wasnt the best as i only had my stanley knife from my tool bag which i used over the weekend, but it still cut very easily which makes the job much easier.
I used a file (a similar one to 'ronnies massive tool') for shaping, to those who remember it.
I have not fitted a laminated tip before and was trying to be careful not to be too hard on it incase of it delaminating, but i had no problems at all.
When it was roughly shaped i switched to 150 wet and dry to get it closer to the final shape, then i switched to a nail file i use to get it finished, then used 400 wet and dry over it quickly just incase i had any loose fibres.
And that was it, done and ready for play, i am looking forward to putting it to use and when i do i will update with the next part of the review.
Here are some pics of the tip throughout the fitting process.
So far so good, thank you adr and well done on what so far seems to be a great product!
