[ADR147]

This is a new tip to me a friend in the trade sent me some. for those of you who used to like the blue diamonds and now can't settle on a tip you might like these. this is what blue diamonds used to be like they are not cheap but they are good! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=260292931554

HWat was blue diamond made of before, cow hide?

[ADR147]

no they were buffalo hide cromium but the quality of the brunswicks who originally made them is terrible now.

I can confirm what Andrew is saying, i have one on now from Dave Coutts and they are like going back in a time machine to the mid eighties:snooker:

[poolqjunkie]

A time machine...cool!!!

Is the blue diamond blue because chalk residue was added to the tip during its production?

not at all they are slightly softer then elks - exactly like blue diamonds were years ago. (when blue diamonds were the biggest selling tip of the lot)

arrggh a couple of people have bought these following the link sorry i put the link to show the picture! if you want some e-mail me it will save you 40p !! i hate giving money to ebay!

[gloveman]

They're also very good compressed, so if the old blue diamonds were too soft for you you can go down that route. I've tried both and having used talisman soft's for over a year prefer the compressed version.:snooker:
