Mike Wooldridge green Supertips

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

Don't forget, people: these things are churned out in their million from the same factories, for pennies.

The lifecycle of products is also worth bearing in mind.

so?in you opinion, we should not go for the brands blindly are we?
but nowadays,how many products with less prices are not churned out from the same factories?
how many of "these things" from materials to finished products are all made by hand?
just only a few craftsmans with high prices.

What's your feedback been like on the new tips, any chance of returning to the old formula we knew and loved?

[ghost121]

I never tried the original Supertips, but seem to have been through just about every incarnation of the green ones. Not sure how many different formulas Mike has actually put out there, but they have varied wildly. Most have played great initially but then become too hard to use after half a dozen sessions and have had to be removed. One batch of four I had were like sponge cake after one session and therefore useless. I have just bought four of the 2016 'blue' version, and this is the last chance I will be giving them. Overall, I guess I am about £60 down with not a lot to show for it, so if these don't play as they should, I'm done. I appreciate Mike is trying hard to get the product right, but the R&D should not be done on the open market to this extent. Too expensive and unfair on loyal consumers. I use Blackspin on my Legend and it plays beautifully, but not sure how much of this is also down to the ferrule system and since it's still the original tip, can't comment on consistency. Dreading having to change it in case the next one isn't as good.

I'm really sorry for being a div here but I have lost track of what's what. Could someone tell me which super tips are the firm ones, I like a hard pressed tip so might give these a go, thanks.

supertips? imothe original supertips was the best but softer than other two and was shut down.
the green one is harder but less responsive and can keep performing longer.
i never try the recent one which named supertips 2016 by mike himself,and also want to know how is that.

The new supertip mate, greenish black. Most are saying they are firm. I tried one on my cue and I thought the opposite and it felt like it would take ages to bed in so I went back to an adr medium.

I was talking about layered tips in general, not you specifically, but if you make yours yourself, by your own hand, from start to finish, that would be rare indeed.

Why source sheets of pigskin, sort them into consistent layers, glue them, bung them into expensive presses, COR rate and stamp them, when you can order exactly what you specify with two minutes on alibaba and a few clicks of the mouse, all for 40c a pop.

This thread is NOT about laminated tips tho, we are talking about pressed tips

Thanks Crazy and Markz, looks like there might be an issue with consistency with the new tips , saying that like cues I bet it's impossible to get them exactly the same, I'm in two minds whether to just get a few buffalo bd+ And press them.

why not?
the more you try,the better you get!
choose the most cost and most suitable one,that's that.
