The new green coloured Supertips?In my mind,there are 2 kinds of tips from Mike,the old one is green (the same colour as elk tips) the new one is blackish green.The blackish green one is thinner than another.I'm not sure whether the old one has been stopped production,so which one did you mean?Or something new?

I went halves with a snooker buddy and ordered some from Coutts on ebay, and I must say both me and my friend were extremely disappointed !

They were much softer than the previous blue Supertips which were ok, and seemed to work well with a certain cue I was using....but the green ones tore up very easily with the sand paper, they developed an irregular shaped dome which threw the cue ball, and flat spots appeared after just a few hits of the cue ball. It was a terrible experience, so we both ripped them off our cues after just one session. As a result, we haven't ordered any more Supertips, as we just don't think that they are that super anymore !

did you mean that the previous supertips much more harder than the new one,which were made by mike wooldridge?
are you sure about that?
but i'm going to say ,quite to the contrary,the current version is harder than the previous tips.
have to say that the previous tips hold the chalk well,be more responsive,grip cue ball well etc....but can not keep performing over a longer period of time,can only last few weeks,in my experience.it seems that the current version has solved this problem.but i still prefer the previous tip,the newer is too hard for me.
sounds like a new problom,mike

what annoyed me the most was the reply mike sent me, was really full of himself even though a lot of people had made same comments he came across as really arrogant and been making cues etc for years and new it all, despite a lot of people all expressing same concerns, the original supertips were the best tips I have used in the 34 years I have been playing snooker and got a few months out of a tip with no problem , there was an issue with a newer batch of the blue supertips but on the whole were a brilliant all round tip, the newer ones are too hard and have less playability and response but for some reason he wont go back to the original, surely from a business point of view must be worth making both, other tip makers have different variety's, but impression I get is wont admit he got it wrong which is a shame, I was lucky enough to buy 3 of the older type of a guy on ebay a couple of months ago and back playing fantastic snooker. but as mike said in his email to me he knows what players want so what do I know, check out you tube colin Harrison snooker practice see an original supertip in action

mike has said that,it was because the bad batchs of the originals which were too soft ,so just wish mike can listening to fans and deal with the problem as soon as possible.
but as adr said,if mike has a good nature,he will be a diffirent mike!

[mikeyd100]

The original supertips were the best tips I have used in the 34 years

In my opinion they were and still are the best Snooker tip the World has ever witnessed
A fraction of me died when production of them stopped haha.
