HI I have tried it these tips are very hard most of these tips are for billard or pool games however some are for snooker

I use the Blue Diamond tips also the Elk Master tips however the best tips for snooker are the Talisman tips a lot of the Pro Snooker Players use them cheers Leonard

hi montrealer : thanks for the infor. the kids here are wanting to try it, so i will buy some for them. yes, talisman is a good tip, absolutely the 'same' omin's layered tan tips. i have many omin tips in my drawer. 11mm medium only. best $$ in this universe !!

i used one for about 2 months. (playing uk 8 ball) they are extremely hard. its now on a 8mm cue thats used for breaking. i think the biggest thing i disliked about them was, i really like a good covering of chalk on my tip, they really didnt appear to hold the triangle chalk. in fact whilst using the tip i switched the chalk to the blue master chalk. it seemed to hold on the tip better. i liked the consistant hit, but it was the chalk that did my head in.

I used one for about 2 minutes (also uk8ball) and hated it. I also found there was a problem with holding chalk, and I use triangle chalk, too. A lot of guys I know who play carom or 3-, 4- or 5-cushion billiards use them but with a special, very greasy dark blue chalk whose name escapes me.

I like a soft tip, one that'll let you bite into the cue ball, and so this tip wasn't for me. However, if you like a hard, consistent tip, then you can do a lot worse.

Hi All : thanks for inputs. very helpful. Last night I tried this tip on one of my friend's cue. Much harder than Omin's or Talisman's. Since the kids here are wanting to try, so I just bought 6 pcs. of this Le Professionnel for them. But not for me

Hi Unclevit

Is there a way to mail order the Omin tips from Omin?

His system is down every now and then these days. How many do you want ? I have a few with me, and can share providing that you pay for postage to Australia. 1 tip (layered Tan Cue Tip - medium) is US$4- plus postage of about US$5. A box is US$35 (8 tips + storing box + air to Australia). That's all I can help. Please don't ask for discount. It's the cheapest in the World (I buy direct from his office) Absolutely Genuine, handpicked by his sister

Hi Unclevit,

Many thanks again.

I was looking for a review of these tips and came across this topic so here a re my two cents:

I bought three o these Le Professionnel tips, in 10mm. I fitted one on my cue, cut it to match the ferrule diameter and shaped it/ gotta say it was hard to go down the tip as the tip is really hard. Took me a lot more time than usual to complete the fitting.
So I tried it yesterday night and so far, it's not bad. I've always used Elkies before so it's quite a big change. The stroke is clear, strong . It takes the spin correctly and contrary to other comments above, my tip was holding the chalk pretty well (even better than my old Elkie) but maybe it's because I really took off a good amount of leather on top of the tip. I don't like playing with a 5mm high tip....Need to go smaller. So the inner structure of the leather was holding the cue very well I have to say.
Now, this is all I can say so far as I play really bad last night, arm totally rubbish, couldn't pot a damn straight pot lol so tough to get a good idea on the tip but it looks correct to me.
I'll give you more info later, once I will have played several times with it.
