The difference between pool tips and snooker, is there any ?

[mrbluejay]

A few months ago I put a Pool Baron (from ADR) onto my pool cue (8.2mm) and it has been very good for grip, chalking, general cue ball control, I do like it. The only negative is that as it is very soft (as advertised) it has taken sometime to settle into a consistent playing behaviour, also it does seem to be holding it shape now it has settled in but I did need to do a small amount of reshaping in the early days. A word of warning, these tips are very soft so ensure you do not use the usual grade of files/sandpaper like for any other tips as you will not have much leather left
I also have some Buffalo Blue Diamond Plus tips which I am going to try next on this pool cue, but also my also try them out on my snooker cue (9.5mm) as well.

I'm just going to try a Pool Baron Hornet, which is their laminated tip. I will let you know how I get on.

Which hardness did you try mate, I have a medium & soft? Did you just use it for 8 ball, or try it on the snooker table as well ?

They're not great the ones I tried
Lost shape pretty badly
Which kind of defeats the object of a layered tip.

Oh dear, can you remember what hardness the tip you tried was ?

Got a feeling I tried medium, they were the stripy ones
Don't know if the beige or black ones are any better.
