I don't know what your trying to point out. If your complaining one side of the tip flattens compared to the other after playing,that happens with all tips. If you use your cue the same way up every shot you are hitting the same part of the tip every stun and screw shot, so of course it will flatten. The flattening will be less once the tip beds in as it will be compressed so harder to flatten. If you don't want to go through this bedding in process buy a tip clamp/compressor tool they are handy things.

This is the shape I am trying to achieve . This tip installed a while ago n I played with it very well. Its even from every side n perfectly round and doesn’t get out of shape easily. The problem is when I try to make dome shape strange line appears in the tip like tip is short from one particular point. Pics attached and i make a circle around the tip where the problem occurs. kindly check all the images. Third image is where the tip gets faulty

I think your work looks good, very neat and tidy, so I think it must be the tips you are using. With an Elk (or any pressed tip) if you can dig your thumb nail into the side of it then it's no good, it's a bad tip. If you have a box or a few tips, tap the top of the tip on a hard surface (like kitchen worktop etc) you want to hear and nice crisp tick noise when you tap it. If it sounds dull, again the tip is not a good one. Usually means the fibres in the leather have not compressed properly in the manufacture process. You will find this with many Elks, only a few good ones in a box these days.

These are worth trying if delivered to your location. Very cheap so worth trying, lots of good reviews from users on this forum and they fit and keep shape very well.

just ordered 50, see what they`re like. Currently using an ADR147, still not sure after about 7-8 hrs

That part of the tip won't be making contact with the ball, unless you miss cue, so I wouldn't worry about it. It's not affecting your game imo.
Definitely burnish the side walls of your tip, it's will give it more strength.

If you like a firm Elk, you should get on alright with them. 👍

There is nothing wrong with your tip. Don't worry about it. Tips always wear unevenly. Most shots in snooker are played below centre ball, certainly hard shots which will wear the tip more. So the only way of making sure that your tip wears evenly is if you hold the cue differently each shot. I don't know anyone who does that.
