Any structure, like layered 3/4'' plywood, comparing that to a 9 layered tip it holds up under stress.
Non layered tips need maintenance as they flare out with a player that has a swing like Kaci, Shaw etc, these guys can draw their ball 12-16 feet, Bergman also uses Zan layered medium tip.... layered is structurally a must until I can be proven wrong.
Bad miscue on a layered tip, tip can be attended to, bad miscue on single layered tips, in my past it blows out the side and needs replacement.
Efren does not have a big swing like Kaci/Shaw.

The amazing part to me was that they were a graduate student in a technical field. And then there was the student who was about to enter college in computer science and was unclear on what an angle was. Not a particular angle, but any angle, as in the opening between two crossing lines.

The Florida Open starts Thursday, May 7th at 12:00 noon EST! This is arguably the most stacked field they've compiled yet. Both the Open and the Women's Open have a ton of big names, so the mixed pairs is also going to be tough! If you want to check out the players lists, visit their Facebook Page (Ultimate Pool USA). Very much looking forward to playing and watching all the great pool! Anyone else going to be there? I attached their broadcast schedule if anyone is interested.

Here is an assembly on a base of 7075 aluminum I machined this weekend. The paper in the lower right corner shows a spot of gray where I swiped a 2" path with my thumb and light pressure. I cleaned it with 99% alcohol a few minutes before the photo.View attachment 901822
