Arrival of new test Triangles Got them in the mail yesterday and installed one today. Machined and shaped nicely! Reminds me of the old Triangles! After playing with it for about 30 minutes... It holds chalk well, and has a solid hit/feel. Was able to apply plenty of english when needed. I...

I have some old stock that's still ok, but all the new boxes that I got are junk.

Awesome! hope to compare notes soon!

Update on Tweeten crisis! Update on Tweeten tips, They have been doing some checking and called to tell me they found a couple issues. One was a change in their process that they were not aware of. They asked if I would be willing to help with some feedback, and I said yes, so they are sending...

looks good!

Cutter height perhaps.

I've had mine 3, or 4 years now! well made! Thanks sir, I love it! I have a question though. Where is the link for the setup and adjustment? Thanks again!

I liked em a lot too! Dicky got me to start trying them, God bless his soul! I still have a good many customers that want a one piece inexpensive tip. They also don't want to learn how to care for a layered tip. The one piece Ki-Tech tips that Renfro makes are awesome in my opinion, but some of...

That's a great point! I'll ask him about that!

Yes, you're right. The pressing doesn't remove the pad, but I can do it with my thumb nail very easy. The pad on these new Triumphs looks like the same old red one, but it's grey\black when you trim it. Also the leather is so weak that the good news is you can at least tell before install. I...

Thanks Chris. Yes, sadly I have. I have two different presses. When I started in 99, I used to put em on the garage floor and pop em three times with a hammer lol. Just to flatten the crown down a might. I've also tried wetting the side before trimming. Using a new carbon steel blade as well...

Talked to the folks at Tweeten. They want me to snap pics of the stock numbers on the bottom of the box. Said they were not aware of any problems with their tips. Also said they just use a contact cement on the pads with the Triumph tips. FYI...

Is it just me, or has Tweeten lost their ability to make tips at all? I know this sounds harsh, but I cut 4 off the same cue today before I got one to shape that wasn't mush. I've sent back boxes of Triumph's and they sent me two boxes back for my inconvenience. Some of the tips are very soft to...

I agree sir. Nothing so far.

I use Le Pros on house cues mostly, but I press them first. I too am concerned with the inconsistencies with Triangles and Triumphs. I recently had to send two boxes of Triumphs back to Tweeten. The leather felt like marsh mellows on the top. Cut off three in a row right after install. Haven't...

Single layer Ki-Tech Medium $12.00. Everyone of them is the same consistency. Another good old school tip folks are forgetting is Triumph.

Joey, What is your signature test shot for testing LD shafts?

How does it play? Lot of things can cause what your seeing. Anything from dented collars from being dropped, joint facing, bent pins, etc... I understand this is bothersome to you, so something custom made will be a better fit for you most likely. Think about this for a second. I've witnessed...

Thanks Kim!

10 years ago on the install and you put them away. what kind of temperatures were they exposed to where you had them stored? P.S aren't you the guy I bought the tip centering tool from? Still use it and it works great!
