Tip press vs. natural work in

Pressing tips will stop some of them from mushrooming. Many soft tips will mushroom and require dressing up even if you press them.
I don't like work coming back so I press tips. If they do mushroom I dress them for free.

Here is a new idea. Sit a tip under one of those automatic power hammers for a day or two. Trim it to shape every so often, and repeat. (is that what you are talking about with impact?)
I notice on new tips, I can go weeks reshaping it to my desired radius, never removing anything from the center of the tip. I can't believe the amount of compression you get pushing a little white ball around.
While I'm thinking about it, would there be a noticeable difference between a pressed tip where it is harder everywhere, and a broken in tip where all of the compression is in the center?

Hi,
I don't press my tips as a general rule.
I believe the tip should break in via the way the player strokes the ball.
All of my regular customers know that I tune up, re crown and re burnish tips for free at any time.
If someone comes to me and says I want a Pressed Le Pro for example, no problem, I do it stat.
JMO,
