what cue tips do the pros use?

[spike]

have any of you tried "pig-skin" tips? apparently they are meant to be quite good but quite expensive as well, around 7quid for one?

At £7 a tip i would at the very least expect them to be "quite good" as you say..

Is Omin the same as Talisman tips, just a different logo?

Correct me if I am wrong as he is not selling any at the moment but doesn't Bitter's (WPT) ebay say that the omin are made in the same factory as the talisman?

I currently have some for sale if anyone is interested!

they are made by the same guy yes.

[poolqjunkie]

As far as I know, they are both made in Thailand in the same factory.

I use a talisman pro medium. I love it. I can totally rely on it to be absolutely consistent every shot.

The only minor problem is, because it's so hard, it doesn't hold the chalk very well so I have to be careful when chalking. But apart from that I can't recommend them highly enough.

I think the O'mins are a bit harder than the Talismans.

Talismans are available in soft, medium (which is mine), hard and extra hard. I can't imagine what extra hard would be like. Shatter the cueball
