As for the weight, tell your boy to pick a course, and I'll decide on how many strokes I need (without even seeing his game).

When I first started to notice Mooris, they were $50 installed, each. Last time I had them put on a cue, they were $30-35. When I had them put on my Gulyassy, they replaced Hercules mediums. I liked the Hercules but the two tips did not play the same. Since I've always alternated two shafts, one on odd days and the other on even days, this presented a problem. Mike told me that Mooris were the only tip he knew of at that time that would both feel and play the same. He was right. Mooris came installed on my Tucker and I wouldn't have had anything else. I would gladly pay $19 each, I wasn't aware that the price had dropped so much.
Just like cues, tips are a very personal thing. A lot of people swear by Triangles but I had a horrible experience with them feathering and never holding shape and I'll never knowingly have them again. My original shafts have LePros and play ok. The two newer shafts have what Sammy Jones thinks are Elkmasters. They weren't supposed to be, but they seem to play ok, whatever they are, and I don't want to spend the money for tips right now.

I've heard this off and on over the years from many people, but I've never had that kind of problem. After a week or so of daily play, mine are usually fine, especially the layered tips I've played with. They may need a bit of shaping the first week or two, but that's it. And I replace tips a hell of lot less than, I think, most players.
tips
I found the Mooris to be very consitant and they lasted much longer than a single layer tip. But over the years I learned to change my own tips and Mooris practically became extinct for awhile there so I switched to Triumph tips. I change them more often but I like how they hit.
I went to the pool clinic that bflad did with Archer and Strickland. I have to say that Stickland was very upfront about not liking layered tips. He literally had the guys doing shots with a single layer tip cue that they couldn't do with their layered tips. I wouldn't of believed it if I didn't see it myself.
I recommend giving multiple tips a try. See what you like.. see what you don't.

I wonder if Triangle changed their price to $100.00 per tip
how long would it take the rich kids to declare them the best tips ever..
LOW DEFLECTION Microweighted its a morri minus the weight of the glue...
lower end mass better tip $100.00 per tip limited supply... PM me for details.. I only have 6 or 7 ... first come first served...

Tells me it's the Indian, not the Arrow...
moori's are good tips. it has nothing to do with the price or rich kids thinking they're better because they cost more.
if you look slowly around the room
and you can't tell who the sucker is
It's YOU
just sayin
Yeah whatever. it's probably just because you're so much smarter than everyone. that's probably the reason you can tell there's no difference between a le pro and a moori.
no difference between a Gilbert and a minisota fats cue. all those suckers buying south wests and schons when they'll pocket just as many balls with a players or a house cue.
why spend money on anything pool related? everything you need is already at the pool hall. balls, sticks, chalk. you've opened my eyes you sly dog you!
what a sucker i've been
i think i'll sell my honda and buy a daewoo. all those suckers buying expensive cars when cheap cars get the job done just the same
if any equipment you own might possibly DELAMINATE...
then you need to buy higher quality equipment ..
and stop putting your faith in glue...
Glue holds my a joint together pretty well
Layered tips;
PROS
-more consistent from tip to tip
-more consistent throughout the life of the the tip
-less mushrooming
-less grooming needed
-last 3-5 times longer
-wide variety to choose from
CONS
-cost more
-may delaminate(maybe 1 in 100)
-may have a void between layers(1-250)
Compressed tips;
PROS
-cost less
CONS
-have a break in period
-mushroom
-get harder the longer you play
-need to be changed every year OR sooner
-less consistent from tip to tip
-may chip or blow out as they get harder
I posed this question to other cue makers and this is what they said....

I like the Moori tips. I guess to each his own but to me, they are worth the money. Chalk seems to stay better and the hit smooth - on the down side, a Moori seems to need more often shaping.
Is that really you in your avatar? it's cool to be able to put a face to a name.
Whenever this issue comes up, there is an implicit flaw in reasoning that permeates the whole discussion.
Suppose tip A costs $30 and tip B costs $3. Does that mean tip A needs to be MUCH better than tip B to justify the bigger cost?
Does tip A need to be 10 times better?
What if tip B was free? Does that mean everybody should switch to tip B? How about if somebody offered to pay you $3 to install tip B on your cue? Would you jump at it?
My point is that it really doesn't matter what tip B costs. $30/year or so is about what most of us pay for the perreroni that goes on top of our pizza. It really is trivial. Whether you put on tip A rather than tip B should depend on whether you think tip A is better, even just marginally better, than tip B.
Your pool tip is in the same category as your toothbrush and your pillow, imo. Just buy the best one and ignore the cost.
...
well that settles it all right there....now, if you could just please share with the rest of the class which ONE is the best one for us all??? If it is Moori medium, we'll just tell those who don't like the feel of it, "oh, you'll get used to it, they'rethe best...now take your medicine"...lol. I tried a Molavia H because I like a tip that feels a bit harder than all the mediums out there. IF you don't try a number of tips, you'll resign to using whatever, forever. Is that what we should do? Next on my list to try is the Superpro, and if I like it better than the one I currently have...GREAT - narrowing it down :thumbup:
