new tip protectors from stu green

[ADR147]

Mine arrived today, thanks ADR!

Does the job it's supposed to although I can't see me slipping it back on as I stroppily throw my cue back in the case (I did this last night). It's best use for me is to protect the tip when I am applying oil to cues when the tips are still in great condition or popping on cues that are heading out the door off-setting a bit of the delicate movements of the courier

that is a fine use for it!

Thanks ADR, tip protector (and tips) arrived today thanks
hhmm, to me it seems to be very tight, too tight and difficult to take off the tip (9.5mm)

I have a feeling that it could damage the tip - it probably wont but I have my tips quite thick and it feels that it could put undue pressure on the sides when fitting ands removing

I have never had any problems with keeping the damp air away from the tip myself, so I don't think I need it to be very tight, I am more bothered about the tip-chalk making a mess of my case

difficult to take off, with my soft office hands () it is not a simple easy process and combined with my worry of taking the protector off with any sideways movement that could pressurise my thick tip, it become fiddly

For the 9.5mm I think I will continue to use the rolled/glued paper sleeve I made ages ago.

it is nicely designed but the tightness is not for me

So, I put it on my pool cue 8.2mm, yes it is loose but it does stay on when in the case, as that is the time I want the tip-cover on, I think it will work for me on that one

Got mine yesterday, and had it immediatly stolen by my Dad! He keeps his cue in a tube under the table and has been looking for something like this to protect the tip as you push the cue in, very tight fit but does the job perfect and twists off easy enough. Thanks again

I believe these little protectors are made in 12mm diameter (as supplied) or a 17mm diameter, when measured across the outer of the lower section, so they will be either snug or too loose on a 9.5mm depending on the size provided.

From what I can tell , admittedly just from the pics, will these not stretch a little after a while ,and be a nicer fit?
