They make a medium, so I think I'm going to get a medium on one shaft and a hard on the other and go from there. The hard durometer is pretty much the same as the LePro I have been using until now. Time will tell I suppose...

It's something to look into, definitely. Going to see how the RAM tips work first though...

None taken. It takes a lot to offend me....

You've never met my wife. If I took on another business venture, I'd be looking for a place to live, not a cue tip... Seriously, though, I may look into it, but I don't have the resources or know-how to do it. Plus, I'd think the market would be sort of small. If it played better than the...

Thanks Ryan...

I know there is no way to completely eliminate all animal-based products from my life. For some things (like the tires on my car, for example), there are no alternatives. But, I do the best I can, and I'm happy with that...

No, I didn't put it out there to be discussed. Although, I don't really object to it being discussed. I mentioned it in my original post because if I had just asked "are there any synthetic tips" everyone would have said "no, just use a leather one", and I would have then had to explain why I...

I know a can of worms when I see it, thank you very much... True, I can't stop animals being killed all by myself. I never thought or claimed that I could. However, I choose not to contribute to it. I'm not asking you or anyone else to agree with me or see things the way I do. You have the...

The room I learned to play in here in Roanoke, VA, was called "Rotten Rodney's". It's no longer there...

Any idea where I can get one of those tips?

It doesn't work that way for me. I already have my cues, so I'm not contributing to any further animal abuse by owning them. If I buy something animal based, I'm assuming that that item will be replaced by a new item coming from an animal, and I don't want to contribute to that. Oh, by the...

Oh, and by the way, does anyone know how to get in touch with Dennis Kepley? I have been trying to track him down for years...

Really? I need to give Dennis a call. It's been a while since I've talked to him. I hope I can make it down that way in a couple months. Have to see what work and the wife have to say about it. Dennis looks strange without all that hair...

Been a while since I hit with one, but from what I remember, they hit great. I almost bought one if I recall correctly.

Yeah, I've had 4 Dieckmans over the years. I sold all of them but this one back in 2000 when I got divorced. I have a standing offer to go up to Dennis's place and spend a week making cues, but haven't had a chance to do it yet...
