The technical things and what happen really in the facts are two different thing. For long shot of precision, if you hit exactly and perfectly at the center cueball you are ok with a dime or more rounder no problem, but the facts in the game are not like that, a flatter tip will hit straighter...

Dime form is too much everywhere, at center and on edge of the tip, for a hard extreme draw shot when the edge of tip compress and deform that becom more than dime radius and the risk of miscue is very high.

I thought I was a little crazy, but now I see that I'm saved! 🥳😂

Thank you for the input, you said exactly what I think with simple words, English is not my laguage I'm French Canadian and sometimes it's not easy for me to explain my thoughts. When you said that you are absolutely right: I think there is still a fair amount of tip distortion, some ferrule...

When we hit the center cueball we don't need as much curvature than when we hit off center for high english, and a flatter tip at center is better to play long shot without any english. I'm just looking to definit some good forms like progressive curvature from center to edge tip and by the way...

That look like this a bit 😂

Those tips would not be easy to produce Those tips would not be easy to produce :)

What I think is that at the center of the tip the compression elastic strength is at top level and more you go to the edge, more it decrease, a rounded form on the edge will keep a better compression strength than a normal uniform radius, more stable for high english and draw shot.

I will test that in the future, I will do tool tip form on cnc with ceramic sand paper abrasive, not all the forms in the draw, they are to close from each other. Check the tip of Judd Trump and some others trim their tip like that, a more rounded form on the edge is less prone to miscue, I think.

Hi, I always thought that a normal radius shape was not the optimal, just for fun i drew different shapes from parts of ellipse, flatter in the center and more and more curved towards the edge, from left to right the drawings are more and more curved, what do you think about that?

Just ordered 1- rod of Hydex 202 off white 1/2 X10 feet, $105 US from a representant dealer here in Canada :)

Go with Ultraskin, better quality control, I bought premium kamikaze and really disappointed of these tips, a lot of variation in tickness, a pure lost of time and money.

Where is Hydex 202 available?? Thanks!

Ok Thank You!!

Somebody know if Shane will play Biado?? Thanks!!

Which one is the most flexible or easy to bend between juma and tomahack, same length and diameter rod? Thank You!!

Best glove for the money not too thick like expensive one, try them and you wont regret it for sure. https://gatorcue.com/gloves/10-champion-sport-x-large-billiards-gloves.html

Ordered 4 premium tips and I received 4 premium and that vary from 7.13mm to 7.51mm, the leather layers thickness vary considerably, they seem cheap made and without any quality control. The only good thing about this purchase is that I almost ordered a larger quantity.

How tip thickness can vary from tip to tip, I received 4 premium and that vary from 7.13mm to 7.51mm, the leather layers vary considerably, they seem cheap made.

Just for example check, the different hardness value of different phenolic and epoxy material, 115 and 120 are very very hard, too much.
