New tip

[cbutcher94]

I need to replace tip on my cue.
But what one do you recommend?
Elk master, blue diamond or other?

Thanks :snooker:

Do you know what you currently have on your cue ?

no i dont :/ that is the problem lol

umm elk's are pretty inconsistent these days. meaning, if u put one on n liked it, chances r ur next one wont feel the same. id say, order some MW tips in. they feel nice. and are consistent! thats a major factor on improving your game =]

kamui black (M or MS)

I switched from Elks to MW supertip.
Since retipping it 2 weeks ago, had 4 forties and a 65 last night, its been playing really well. Maybe just a psychological boost on my behalf, but i do love the MW tips!

I would recommend blue diamond.. talisman .. or Omin.
Currently using Omin and it plays very well

[cbutcher94]

Thanks for all your replies
Im going to order some MW supertips in

blue diamond? ones i had were shocking. lol like the whole tip would lift up like, u could stretch it and rip it. :S not a good tip IMO

[Freddie Ng]

Really ?? Didn't experience that before. But it was quite popular around my place and many player use it. I prefer tip that's harder. that's why switch to Omin. talisman is next on my list for me to try out.
How bout Kamui's tip ?
rating?

[BoBnoGG!n]

never tried one mate :P

maybe ur area has a supply of old blue diamonds. new ones these days, r crap. ones my places use r terrible :S

there was recently a thread started about kamui tips! wonder how that went..

[JazzyJust]

Talisman Tips are good as well, I swear by mine. They are the best tips I've ever played with.

I've tried Mike's as well, and I rate them as well

[Freddie Ng]

Not sure whether that is new or old. Maybe they were lucky to have more good ones in a box.
Price for snooker stuff increase over the years.
Yeah, has been quiet last few days.. You ever try it ?

For those who prefers a more consistent yet cheaper leather tip, i will highly recommend "mastercue" tip.
It is one of the best leather tip i have played with, the density of the tips are relatively consistent, price is same as a BD or EM (Locally not sure elsewhere) only SGD$2 each.

For those who had the chance to use O'min "red" leather tip, i would rate it same as the MC tip but with that price of the O'min, i can buy 5 MC instead.

As for those who feel that quality can never be compromised by price, i will highly recommend Kamui 8 M/S or M or Moori S.
Kamui 8 is 8 layered tip specially designed for the usage of snooker game player who prefers hardness & consistency & those do not wanna split the 13 layer (normal Kamui pool tip) into 2 pcs to compromise the tip thickness in-order to save cost. Price of the Kamui 8 is almost the same as tailsman but plays so much better IMO.

When i heard about tailsman, i thou that i have found a replacement for my kamui or moori tip. During installation of M & H(in diff occasion), the leather is soft & easily cut off compared to kamui & moori. I also feel that tailsman does not provide the spin & ease of control as compared to the kamui & moori.

That is just some of the tips i have tried.
You will have to try it, in-order to understand it.
