Seriously, whenever you see a low price for a layered tip RUN AWAY, as fast as you possibly can, and don't look back! I haven't tried the exact one you're asking about, but I've tried pretty much every tip I could reasonably get my hands on. If it's layered and cheap, it's crap! It's that simple. The cheap tips feel dry, hard, dead..The cheapest tips feel almost like they're made of wood or plastic, even though they're leather. More glue than leather, and the leather is super cheap and bad quality.
If you want a cheap tip, buy a triangle. If you're a bit more adventurous, buy a LePro, soak it in milk and press it lightly in a vise (that one is substantially better than the Triangle, but a bit more work. I can't tell you how hard to press. You learn that by trial and error, but it's worth it). These two tips beat any cheap layered tip I've ever tried as far as consistency and control goes.
The best thing is once it's mushroomed and been trimmed back, a tip like this stays good, while a layered tip needs so much pampering it's like a spoiled teenage girl. They glaze, they harden, delaminate, they collapse, they need shaping, trimming, picking, scuffing...It's something going on every time you take the cue out of the bag. I've had the same LePro for 2 years now. I've not even taken it down substantially. Believe me, I took a 6 month break, but before that, the tip got played HARD, and when I took it out again, it was still perfect. Now I've played it for a couple of months. Still good.
The best part is: if it gets ruined somehow (I do shoot a lot of jumps and masses with my playing cue), it costs next to nothing to replace. But again, I've had the same tip for 2 years. I laugh at people who change their 30 dollar Kamuis once a month. Aint nobody got time fo dat.
