I BOUGHT A CUE WITH EMERALD CUE TIP-
SEEMS TO PLAY GOOD...
Years ago I tried emerald ,
wasn't impressed at all"
Has Tiger redesigned for better quality and performance??
I nearly never get involved in these discussions.
Here's the thing IMO. You personally know what you like to feel when striking the CB.
Your new cue may be softer to you than other cues you've swung that feel harder with softer tips.
In other words, if you have a soft feeling/hitting cue....... A harder tip my feel better to you. Maybe not??
I'm no expert, but I've experimented of course with with a cue I've used for 15? years..
I suppose why I'm commenting is, a while back I installed a Hard tip. I like it just fine. BUT 2 weeks ago a US 3C Champion handed me a "Semi Soft" tip for me to try. Never heard of a Semi Soft Tip.
Problem is, I need to compare (If I'm going to me scientific) with the same shaft (favorite) rather than another, then I waist lots of Cash AGAIN on tips.
CONCLUSION: If you're happy? ..... Don't "Crowd Source" for an Opinion about what YOU LIKE!!!!
"Am I Wrong for thinking I like Hard tips?
Should NEVER be a question.
If you like what you have, don't question it.
Just play and have Fun. And of course, Pay attention and learn from mistakes.
