Tiger claims it does a lot to its Sniper tip: i) leather tanned the old way---underground; ii) treatment can take a year; iii) vacuum method sucks out air others leave in tip; iv) don't just pressure tip---Advanced Presurized Process it.

After 16-20 hours a week of league/practice/tournament play that Sniper lasted for almost a year. Minimal maintenance, zero mushroom, and great performance for a medium/soft tip.

I've used the sniper tip and all you do is put chalk on them.

There are no shaping or scuffing issues.........

I’ve got a tiger sniper. Been on my cue for over 2 years and I had never had to do anything with it. Guys I play with have gone through 2 or 3 tips in that time. Mine still has loads left and I probably play more often than the other guys. What does this mean?
Are the others grinding their tips down somehow or am I very gentle with it. I chalk after every shot but don’t grind it!

ive used snipers since ive used cuetec cues. never changed one until it got low enough to miscue which took some time

i lightly run a shaper over it to scuff it each day i play
its very durable in that even tho i scuff daily, it doesnt grind down at all and they last a long time once broken in at that sweet spot
very very consistent tips with such a nice hit to them

Non-playing, went to the Florida Open to see pros in person. While there, I had the privilege of meeting Stu @sjm and chatting with him for a while.

Playing, getting my @$$ kicked so embarrassingly and thoroughly it served as a wakeup call to GTFO my head once down on the shot and to quit playing scared. Hoping it sticks into 2026.

If you diversify in cues nobody has ever heard of, the only thing you're doing is spreading out your losses over those 4 cues.

You are not collecting, you are investing. Very short term as well. These are two very different things. I have news for you; there is going to be a time where many big names are going to be in that pile if collecting is strictly turned into speculative investment.

Collecting because you love something is very different than collecting to try not to lose money. There are no guarantees for the latter either.
