Just bought one. Will post a quik review as soon as i get it installed.Does anyone have any feedback on the Picone White Diamond ULTRA pool cue tips? I have the Mezz Kai break cue and was thinking about trying this tip on it.
Funny you ask. Just getting ready to post. I love it. I put mine on myself sans lathe. I used a REALLLY sharp kiradashi knife to trim excess then various sandpapers to finish. This thing really amp'd up the ball speed. Had a hard leather on before and this WDU is much better. Easy to chalk(a lot better than phenolic or g10) and breaks with pretty good control. Does have a sorta plastic/metallic sound but not as bad as a phenolic. So far(about a week) i'm diggin' it. BTW, where do you play in T-Town? If you're at Magoos when i'm around you can try this out.Garczar - Have you had a chance to install the Picone White Diamond Ultra tip yet? Would like a review if you have. Thanks.
I can't comment on the new ones, but the older ones are outstanding.

Why don't you like the Sonic? Brian.
Hey Brian, after talking to via pm I actually picked up a Mezz Kai which I love and actually just picked up a second one for my son. But anyway, I love the Sonic tip but it is beating up my cue ball pretty badly. Havent actually had this problem with any of the other break tips I have tried. Is this something you have noticed with the Sonic tip?
Brian, I don't care for the Sonic tip because it is really hard (glazed over) and the chalk won't stick, causing me to miscue a lot on the break. Me and a couple others have scuffed it up a few times, but it pretty much stays glazed over.Why don't you like the Sonic? Brian.
Garczar, thanks for your review on the WDU tip. When are you typically at Magoo's? I will be at Magoo's on Sunday at 1:00 PM for BCA league. I would love to try the WDU tip out -- thanks for the offer.Funny you ask. Just getting ready to post. I love it. I put mine on myself sans lathe.

I've been using my Sonic tip / Mezz break cue with a red circle cue ball, and I really don't see any damage it's doing to the ball - red circles easily have the most durable surface of the quality cue balls I've used.Hey Brian, after talking to via pm I actually picked up a Mezz Kai which I love and actually just picked up a second one for my son.

I also feel the Sonic tip just feels too hard and doesn't hold chalk well, although I've never miscued when breaking with it. I'm thinking of trying either an Outsville Hammerhead tip or a Samsara break tip. I have two break shafts, so I think I may try one on each, and see which I like better. Any opinions as to a preference between the two for those that have tried both?

Off Amazon. Can't remember the vendor.Can you pls. share where you bought yours?
Sonic is the Mezz tip. WD's are the Picone tips.Are Sonic White Diamonds the same as Picone?
Thanks. I am looking for the best leather break tip (not jump). I tried Samsara and it was ok, but what else is out there? No phenolic though.Sonic is the Mezz tip. WD's are the Picone tips.
