Dennis Searing is making tips now

Brand new keyboard and new batteries. Sometimes it will skip a space or add a space as it did between it andwill.



Calling Dell tomorrow. I don't want to AZB bash them. :D

Dude. You got a Dell! Lol. Sounds like a software driver issue maybe.

I just replaced the tip on my Schrager sneaky pete w/a Precision medium during the Football game since it was home and I have a table to play on. I love this tip!

I used my Willard tip tool and I must say that this tip cut as smoothly and as evenly as any I have done in the past. I always cut the sides with a little bevel (smaller near the tip) to allow for mushrooming and sand the tip to a dime radius or a little more since I do it by hand. I also cut off 2 layers off the tip before trimming. (It doesn't look as good as Bigb'scues :) ).

I played with it hard for an hour including a few breaks. Spun the ball every chance I got as well as power drawing the cue ball; I did not miscue once. I used Master chalk and chalked often.

After play the tip is now a nickle radius I would say and the sides are pretty much even, so there was some mushrooming, but this happens for every tip I use so I am not worried about it. I will play with it as is for a while longer before trimming it again, which I'm guessing will be the last time. Moori's, Talisman, and others act the same. I am very happy with this tip and plan to buy more once I break this one in a little more.

Thank you Dennis for bringing this tip to market. while watching the game

Thanks! I received my order and had a medium installed. I'm so used to having to break in a new tip for a few days, not these!!!! I love the tips and I think these will be a huge hit.
 
Dell..yes.

But I think it is acheap ass keyboard. I wanted a wireless keyboard so I could move around a little but this double spacing, no spacing business is really gettingtome. I'm afraid people are going to accuse me of being John Schmidt. Nevermind, I use caps and punctuation. My bad John.

I know who will know and that's JAM. She is the KEYBOARD QUEEN of AZB. I just don't want to pay too much for akeyboard since I use it mostly for "talking" with youguys and FB. Ok, I use it for work too but this KM636-B has to be the worst keyboard ever. Maybe I need to go back to awired keyboard.

It is true I dogged it off on the layered/ non layered thing. I was thinking about tip density as I typed the post when the real extra density was going on between my ears.

Concerning the hardness ratings, I think you will really like what Dennis is planning to do here Joey.

When I was at Dennis' shop and he showed me the tips for the first time he also told me that he has a proprietary method that he is about to start using that will accurately measure the tip hardness. Then the tips he sells will all be rated precisely. He told me specifics about this but Ill just try to paraphrase.

Imagine if tips are rated 1-100 in hardness with the way companies are currently doing it, they lump varying levels of hardness into three or four categories. So lets imagine in general soft is about 40, medium is about 60 and hard is about 80. (These are just my my numbers for the point of explaining this and not the numbers Dennis is using. Dennis told me the actual numbers for each hardness rating but I forgot what he said).

The problem this lumping of various tips is that this is often you will have a tip rated medium, but its real measurement is 68. Or a hard that is 92. Every box of tips rated as mediums, could in fact have varying hardness say 55-70. The point is that the current rating system have ranges of hardness that the tips are being lumped together. With the way Dennis is about to do this, his tips will have a specific number attached to them so if you find soft is too soft but some mediums are too hard, you will no longer be guessing. You perhaps will find that you like a 55 hardness rating, just below medium but significantly harder than a soft and you will be able to order that precise tip.
"Precision" is the perfect word if he is gonna do this.i really like this and appreciate the explanation of what dennis is planning.with that said,so far can anyone compare precisions medium to say a moori(what i have been playing for years) is dennis med.alittle softer or firmer than mooris etc...its not critical ,iam gonna try a couple anyway,but i play moori hard and sometimes a medium(and they are a little too soft to start with) so if dennis med is as soft or softer than moori med,i would definately need a hard.thanks again for the info.

To bring this post off-topic, it may just be crappy keyboard, but try a different USB port for the receiver, either back or front of PC, or place it on a USB extender cable near the keyboard.

If you want a good typing keyboard with good feel, there are some fake mechanical feel keyboards that are cheap http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...2aVlJuznTYnVFd31Z9HXqBoCZRTw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds , or get a true mechanical, $50 will get you a decent quality one https://www.amazon.com/AULA-Sapphire-Mechanical-Keyboard-Ergonomic/dp/B01BY4Q31K
 
Just ordered some, can't wait to try them out. I ordered softs and mediums. Has anyone tried any of the hard tips?

I just put one on yesterday and I really like it. Hard as I like but not a big click, sounds more like a medium or soft
 
I have 2 identical shafts. 1 has a SIB pro and one has a Searing medium..... Love them both... Can't decide which to play with in competition.....
 
From those that have played them, which is closest it hardness to an old Champion tip. Dan Janes at Joss has NOS Champions and I still think they are my favorite tip.
 
I am still looking for that tip that doesn't have to be broken in....
then just start off with a Hard tip.... that's what they all become

I hear people saying "I hate to replace the tip, it is just now playing the way I like" because they start with a soft and don't like how it feels until it becomes hard.
