Laminated tips.

Are they not very hard at the moment then, or a little soft??

The one I have on is medium/hard but of course there could easily be a variation in a box.

Bought a couple of boxes and tried one on a friend's retip. Plays like a standard Elk. Have yet to try them milk soaked or compressed, but plan to give it a go.

Cheers matey, probably take a punt on them

There is a link to them on the pro elkmaster tip and chalk thread post number 208, but yeh from eBay, there seems to be a few selling them and some are a bit cheaper , worth a try ,for fifty at near enough half the price of a single decent lammy tip.

I was looking at them on alibaba, thought they might be worth a shot, where did you get yours from? Ebay?

A lot like you. Tried lots of laminated tips recently probably one of the most suprising I come across is "ts long ba" from Thailand. 50 tips for 3 quid.

Honestly I thought they would be useless for the price, turns out I find them extremely consistent.

But that's on my pool cue, mind find it different for snooker

I have put one of these on my snooker cue, only had two sessions with it but it's pretty good, I can't fault it at all.
They are pressed tips though not laminated and Chinese not Thia.

I have tried lots of tips since I came back playing. Wooldridge were wildly inconsistent but his Blackspins were good, Elk Pros of all grades went hard too fast and all deformed badly, now trying Kamui Black. I am not a fan of laminated tips, but so far, this one is okay. Takes chalk easily, has plenty of grip and hasn't deformed after lots of play. The Medium I am using is hard enough for me to hit the cue ball with authority and get that crispness of strike without loss of grip.

Try the Phoenix blacks..I rate them very highly..I use the mediums

I've tried several tips over the last few months (ADR147 SS, Elk Pro Medium, Black Heart, etc.). I like the way the elk pros play for the first few hours then after that they become insanely hard and have absolutely no feel to them. I decided I would, therefore, make the swap to laminated tips as I can't seem to get a good elk for the life of me at the moment. I've tried ADR147 SS tips, but they don't want to bed in at all like I can wipe my finger across the tip, and all the chalk will come off leaving a shiny surface behind. I then tried black heart tips and had two delaminate in a week.

So I'm now looking for a laminated tip that will bed in and hold chalk and play well, my thoughts have been the TSF tips/Talisman/Kamui, and I was wondering if anyone has any feedback on them before I purchase another set of tips.
