Hey all,
I am about to try ultraskin tips for the first time and had a couple questions.
I have been playing for about 20 years and have used medium tips exclusively. I use a lot of spin in my game and after doing some reading it seems like I should be using soft tips instead of medium to get more grip on the cueball. I am having an ultraskin pro tip installed.
I understand that softer tips will mushroom and need more maintenance. Specifically I would like to know (from folks who have used the pro tips):
1. I have an ultimate tip tool. Will this be sufficient to trim the mushrooming or should I invest in a tip shaver like the Joe porper one to save time?
2. How often should I be shaping it to keep a dime radius?
Thanks for any assistance. I am really excited to try these tips after reading all of the great feedback for them on here!
Cheers,
Chris
