Everest Tips

I have a question about the red indicator layer, as this is the first everest I've had that came with one. Perhaps a foolish question, but is it simply a dyed layer of leather? Just wondering as I also usually prefer my tips to be cut down, and was curious as to when it gets to this point if they will still be any good.

Good question. Hope Tiger Products rep answers this one. Chris seems to be hooked up pretty good with them. He may have an answer for this one.

I'm just guessing, it is simply a dyed layer of leather and it is probably still good to play on but when it gets down below that level, you're asking for trouble.

I've wondered the same thing, Joey. I install a lot of layered tips, and it seems like such a waste to have to trash half the tip. Also, there must be some sort of magic with 11 layers, because that's the usual number in most of the premium layered tips.

No one is marketing a PLAYER"S TIP, until now. Introducing Everest Lean :woot: and Everest Supple. :dance:

Roger,
Since you install layered tips, what number of layers do you think they should go with for a "PLAYER'S TIP"? 6 or 7 layers? Or other? Why?

Thanks,

this is a good questions and i have wondered this myself. i'd like to here about this red line layer also as couldnt the die added to the leather possibly change the consistancy of the leather and maybe alter the hit properties?
 
Jam up

I went to Tiger in Burbank and they put on the Everest. That was about two years ago. I want to try the Sniper but jeeeez this tip is jam up.
 
OK 9 Ball, Everests SUCK;). There I said it just for you.

But that's not the truth. I love Everest's too. I have them on my Jacoby and Rat cues. I have one going on 1 shaft on my new Josey that's ordered. I have 2 other cues that will get Everest's when the tips go bad. Only other tip I really want to try is an Emerald. I really like Tiger tips. And being made in the USA only seals the deal. A happy Tiger user here.

I shaped my tip once, just to see what it was like.. didn't seem to help any. The only drawback I've found with the everest is that I don't need to chalk as often, so now I'm chalking less frequently no matter what cue I'm using. I use it for breaking and shooting and never have to shape it.. that's a pretty nice tip. :thumbup:
 
How about elk master "milk duds"
I've shot with everest and talisman.. Moori.. Well I guess I bought that for the "name" didn't become a big fan tho.
 
I have 2 G-Core shafts. One with the Everest that came stock, the other I had a Sniper put on. It's a close call for me, but I like the Sniper just a little better, although it took a little longer to break in. I had a problem with it glazing up when it was new.
 
Many years ago, Jerry Franklin convinced me to try a Triangle tip instead of the Le Pros I had used for years. Thereafter, I became a big fan of Triangle tips--they had all the benefits of the best Le Pros, but they were much more consistent.

Then I went for a 10 year spell without playing at all. But pool always seems to draw me back and one day I was stopped at a traffic light and heard the click of pool balls. I had to investigate! I discovered Dean's Pool Room in Springfield, OR and liked Dean and his room so much I found my way back to the tables regularly. And soon it was time for a new tip for my Southwest.

I went online to order a box of Triangles and discovered things had changed a lot in 10 years. Layered tips were the new thing. More spin, fewer miscues, no shaping and so on. How could I resist? But which one? So I ordered a bunch--Everest, Moori, and a few others. I put a Moori on one shaft and an Everest on another. I soon found myself pulling the Everest tipped shaft more often. And I still had a Triangle on a third shaft.

What I found was none of the layered tips actually played any better than the Triangle. But they were all good. The Everest felt a lot like the Triangle, after a few weeks of break-in. And while the Everest did require trimming a few times the first month, or so, after than I seldom touched it other than slight reshaping of the crown. So I became a big fan of Everest tips.

Eventually, I tried a Sniper and that, to me, is the ultimate tip. That said, I think the Everest is an awesome tip. The Sniper simply does everything slightly better than it's stablemate.

And I still think the Triangle is a great tip. I would lose no sleep if I had to play my remaining days with a Triangle. But the Everest requires less fussing. And the Sniper is a hair better than either.
