Getting to a million balls isn't nearly as hard as the OP thought if you work in a pool hall or just have a serious pool jones. I never worked in a hall but I put in more hours in a pool hall than I did working. I made a bit more with my businesses but working my entire pool career union journeyman was from nine to fourteen dollars an hour. I could always make twenty an hour on a table just playing cheap and it was a lot more fun. Never knew when a decent score would come along too. For a few years I could get into twenty a game every night, fifty a game once or twice a week. That beat hell out of wages!

Around 85 reviews on Amazon for this tip but a very small percentage (around 10% are USA reviews, some positive, some quite non-positive). Maybe this is a European or Asian market tip?

Good call, that makes sense. USA generally doesn't have a good outlook on all things "royal" whereas European markets probably have some sentimentality or think "royal" as a way to explain quality/the best. Kind of like how different products are "By appointment of Her Majesty." It designates a quality product.

Shit. That was a lot better than my long post. LOL!

Same here. I've known about Royal Oak tips for decades and during that time I have played pool all over the country, and have read a lot of forums, and I have yet to ever even hear of somebody that uses them, much less meet anybody who does. I wonder if they are just popular in some small region of the country or something because you would think somebody has to be buying them for them to stick around for so many decades.
