Laminated tips.

[itsnoteasy]

Just stuck one of these on, ( big thanks to Dave)was easy to trim but took some shaping compared to a pressed tip, but now it's done it looks great, wait to have a hit with it.
It's a nice tip, not pingy and not like a marble like some laminated tips, and I would say it takes and holds chalk a bit better than the pro granites and it doesn't need chalk nearly every shot like say an Omin red which is much harder, still not sure if they are worth the money, although I can easily see why these are more costly to make, but if you like a lammy that plays like a hard pressed tip this isn't a bad job at all. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts, maybe that might change my mind but I will keep it on until it's done so I can see if it changes as it gets the hours under its belt, but I like it just now.

not doing Michael Georgiou any harm - he is playing ronnie tomorrow with his!

Saw Michael last night and mentioned about his tip , he said that he loves the TSF Tip . Keeps its shape and no issues with it .

As somebody who bought and sold a couple of thousand of them trust me you are getting lucky!

Yeah ...I've chipped a few . Once they get a bit low I had no confidence in them not spontaneously combusting on me .

I keep going back to Kamui's , never had one delaminate, very consistent and a great hit.

That's the problem with pressed tips, no consistency. Even the so called super tips are a waste of time, put one on my daughters cue recently and after one frame it was like a jelly tot! I have now decided that laminated/layered tips are the way forward. I currently use a TSF medium and have no complaints.

Phoenix black and Phoenix red for me. (Both in medium)

Was thinking about trying the pro granites but they only come in 10mm so abit tricky lining up with a 10mm ferrule as the ones I've used seem to vary slightly in diameter.

I purchased some exquisite pressed tips from ADR on ebay a few months ago, not tried them yet, I might put one on one of my spare cues and give it a go.

If you do put one on, let me know how you get on with it, thanks.
The pro granites are a tight fit, I use a 10 mill ferrule as well, they are very slightly bigger but it is tight. One good thing about these ts long ba tips is the one I put on had plenty of wriggle room ,it was a ten mill tip mill but went on my ferrule very easy.

[Davebarker1978]

That's a very good point Dave, pro granites are the most consistent pressed tip I have found but they are not to everyone's taste. If these don't work out I will go back to them.

I find the harder the pressed tip, the more consistent it is, not sure if people agree with this?

I'd go with that Shockerz, I can't get away with those tips you can feel moving around until they bed right down.

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

It'll be interesting to see how hard you get it whilst keeping grip.
