  • Pre Rounded Tips?

    Hey guys i want to ask is there a brand where the tips come rounded off? Im new to fiddling with shafts and tips so i want something i can just fit and play without much fuss

    Also any recommendations on the glue that needs to be used?

    Thank you sorry for making a whole thread im at work and can't browse much!

    Glue - I use Loctite Superglue GEL Repositionable - gives you a few seconds to get the tip "just so"
    Tip - all tips worth having will need at least a little shaping [No free rides, Philly boy. No free rides]
    Up the TSF! :snooker:

      Right on, I'm about to order century pro g3 tips and I'll give that glue a try!

      What difference does hard or soft tip make?

        Why Century G3 out of interest? Recent feedback for them has been poor, i've had a few of my friends say they've constantly needed re-shaping less than a week after putting a new one on.
        I use TalismanPro soft , had the same tip on for a year now and it's held its shape really well and still performs great.

          No idea why, mainly because amazon ships it fast and the cue i ordered comes with a crap tip apparently. Im non the wiser about different tips and their performance

            99% of new cue tips require shaping. Of the top of my head, I remember Talisman wb provide pre-domed tips.

              Tips are down to personal preferences (or total ambivalence )
              for example I use Mike Wooldridge Supertip great tip (for me) gives me feel of the shot and the reaction of the cue ball I was wanting
              So welcome to TSF and the hunt for the "tip" that suits you! [fanfare!]

                The most expensive tips can be bad depending on what you get ,I used to use Elkmaster for years then last year had a G3 fitted and it’s fine ,keeps it’s shape well and feels great. everybody’s different and so are tips .

                  BTW, if you shape a tip don't use sandpaper as a piece of the grit may come loose and embed itself in the tip which will not only damage the tip but will scratch the cue ball. Use a fine diamond file, easily available and cheap to buy and small enough to keep in your case should you need to re-shape your tip during a match.
                  Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare
                  but don't try to get yourself elected, for if you do you'll have to cut your hair
