Are we all playing with the same leather (layered / solid) tip after 4-6 months?

Depends how much you like to waste money... If it feels right, and I haven't replaced it within a week, then a tip is lasting me about a year. But then I have limited experience so far. I used MW super tips for snooker for a few years, and then also my first year and a half or so of playing pool. Switched to Thoroughbred for a few months now and I like it a lot (It has a lot of life left in it). I have never liked the feel of ZAN tips, have cut them off the 3/4 Mezz shafts I had owned previously. Gave each of them a little time, but not my cup of tea. ZEN tips are also not my cup of tea for the American table. They are labelled M, but are much too hard (I did leave one on my CQ shaft, and it plays nicely for the Chinese table imo)

My story:
I transferred to SIU Carbondale, IL in 1973. I was required to live in the Dorms. There were 2 Iranians next door and one enjoyed playing caroms.

Stepping back in time: When I was around 8 years old my oldest brother introduced me to caroms on our bumper pool table.

Fast forward to my college days, Ali, an Iranian asked me after learning that history if I would like to go to the Student Union and play some caroms. "Of Course" was my response. He was a decent carom player.

Weeks later we decided to go downtown together and just see whats up. We landed at a pool hall Crazy Horse. In the back of the room was a 9' AMF billiard table and 2 people playing 3Cushion.

We sat down to watch till it was our turn.

Our turn never really came, but what I witnessed changed my life.

I was like, OMG, I Gotta Learn How to Play this Game!!!!!

Great game and still learning new things.

This game and Pool are amazing Sports.
The more you know, the harder it gets.

Tom... Blame it on Rio De Janeior..... No Blame my Addiction to 3C on Deek-a-Mon, The El Jefe (Dieckman) Posses and the USBA.
I should move closer to you. So this crappied player could rip your table felt. But then Yesyura would probably charge me twice as much to repair the felt. No 3C table in Evansville and Cousin won't allow me to put one in his Pole Barn!!!

As you know, I lost interest in 3C, after Dieckman's Death.... The the game still in my Soul and Heart. Darn Dieckman and Bill Johnson... Wait that include You (3kushn)!!!!
