They tell me the new 4Skin tips from Steamer Cue Sports Ltd. are good.
Players just can't keep their hands off them.
If you play with them, they'll grow on you.
What is the "gripiest" tip made?

Yes but they are know to mushroom if you rub them too much.
Too busy for the reindeer games right now but the Ki-Tech M/S was developed working on a chalkless tip.... It grips the cueball without chalk as long as you are 1 1/2 tips from center.... NOOOOO Chalk.... Try that with ANY of the others listed LOL
We are still waiting on you to show us that country of origin law you were so keen on or do I have the wrong reindeer game in mind?
Actually went ahead and filed since I won't argue with people who pick a font size higher than their IQ... Stay tuned... FTC and Customs rulings are likely 2 weeks out....
do it super slow with lots of spin several times in a row and come back... At higher speeds the ratios get closer because of amount of compression vs max..... Last sentence is incomplete in syntax so am not sure what you are asking.....
Sorry, English isn't my native languaje, so lets see if I can learn something new today :smile:
What I wanted to ask is if with a chalked tip, ball and tip gear (engage, mesh) perfectly (It would be great for me if you can write my first question correctly).
Ahhh OK.... If the tip is chalked and the friction is adequate the tip and cueball will stay engaged from compression thru decompression so if there is an offset they will gear.... YES.... For cheaper chalks it happens most of the time... for premiums it will happen all the time... There are instances with cheaper chalk where there are misscues and slips that occur during gearing... misscue is rare but slip is common.. you can hear both when they happen and slips end up short on shape and spin...
Elkmaster
Elkmaster by far. I find that people ignore the obvious. They've been around forever. I like mine tall and wear them down. Over time they start out very soft and grippy and stay that way a long time. When you get it pounded in real good and its ready to change it will hit very much like a Triangle which also hits very good. Overall for price and results Elkmaster is a really good tip. .

Don't worry, it's not his either. :smile:
FWIW, I get the most spin with harder tips. Close up it doesn't matter much. Far away, I find I have to use way more power to get the same cue ball speed, and thus the same spin by the time I get to the ball. I must have gone through 15 different tips in the last few weeks, just to see for myself. Some feel super "grippy", but side by side the cue ball doesn't seem to behave much differently close up, and hard tips have significantly better performance on longer shots for the same level of effort.
Anyhow, that's just my opinion, but if you're going to worry about how a tip performs, it might pay to have a hard or medium tip on one shaft, a soft tip on another shaft, and just put them head to head so you can see for yourself. I fully expected the soft tip to have better performance, even if not significantly better, better at least. In practice under real playing conditions, it was exactly the opposite for me!

After they are pressed you can call them mudduds.

You may be onto something. I have heard the early French Champion and Crown tips were made by burying them underground for a period as part of the tanning. They did have kind of an earthy smell to them too.
All the best,

The grippy tip stays inside better. The only condom I use!
