    leather tips and PETA/vegans...?

    I was wondering, what would PETA say about leather cue tips? Anyone would know? What would a vegan pool player shoot with? I'm not vegan myself. I currently shoot with a White Diamond on my playing cue. So my cue is now a bit more "vegan friendly". Any vegan players out there that shoot with...

    Bulletproof Tip Review - I feel it's too soft!

    THIS IS ABOUT THE BULLETPROOF CLEAR BREAK/JUMP TIP I use the tip on my playing cue right now. I feel the tip is a little too soft imo I'm of the belief that tip hardness does not matter for maximum spin. I can get crazy spin with this tip, maximum spin, yes, but I don't feel that makes it...

    Anyone tried shaping their tips to account for all the mushrooming/flattening that'll happen in its lifetime?

    Has anyone found a successful shape for their tip such that it will settle into a dime radius shape after months of playing, and never ever need to be reshaped again? I suppose the softer the tip, the more extreme the shape needs to be. For a phenolic tip, the starting shape can be dime...

    Anyone's playing cue use a phenolic ferrule/tip combo?

    I know people have shot with phenolic tips, or jump/break tips like samsaras, especially leather hybrids. I wonder, has anyone shot with one of those all-brown or all-black phenolic leather/ferrule combos? What do they think compared to the other jump/break tips on a playing cue like...

    Can cue silk seal a wooden shaft?

    The title says it, and I'm curious. Can cue silk seal a wooden shaft? I know that people may use Qwax. Can cue silk achieve the same/similar result, or at least achieve some sort of partial sealing (if that's possible)? *reposted from main forum due to a suggestion that I ask here instead*

    Navigator Break Impact Tip Review (mainly to review as a playing tip)

    Hello all, I've searched online for information about this tip, and I can't find much information on it. I thought I'd leave a review here: As a jump tip and break tip, this works great. Crushes racks, and jumps well too. Now onto how it works as a PLAYING TIP... I've found that I can hit...

    Why do triangle tips have this brown paint/pigment/substance on the sides that rub off?

    Why do triangle tips have this brown paint/pigment/substance on the sides that rub off? Does it do anything special? Or is it purely a way to distinguish triangle tips from other tips

    Using my pechauer jump shaft for breaking?

    I'm thinking of getting a cue butt to fit my pechauer jump shaft, and use the combined butt and shaft as a break cue. Good idea? Bad idea? Thoughts? Assume cost is not an issue, and that I'm not necessarily desperately looking for a break cue. I just want to know how this idea would work out...

    Does anyone bash their tip with a ball after installing it?

    Just wonder, if anyone bashes their tip with a ball after they install it? Or do they always just compress the tip first before installing?

    I had seen a post where someone asked about Navigator tips and one person posted that they liked the Navigator Break Impact Jump/Break tip. Decided to create a thread dedicated to that? What do people think about it? I don't expect it to be horrible, but wondering what good/bad things people...

    Sanding down/sawing off part of a beat up ferrule?

    My residence hall on campus has a bunch of low quality house pool cues that were without tips. People had played with them without the tips, so just the ferrule, for a while. I had installed slip-on tips on them, but I'm considering putting some elk master tips on them. However, as you can...
