I have been playing pool for a very long time and this is the one area which escapes me. OK, one of many. I just don't use enough tips to have any feel for how one tip plays verses another. I'd say I play with a new tip once a year - and that includes tips on new shafts. To further confuse the issue the words 'soft', 'medium' and 'hard' appear to be marketing hype. A soft tip is only soft when compared to other tips from the same manufacturer and may actually be harder than another manufacturer's medium. So how can you make a decision as to what to get? I'd love to see a table or chart of tips currently being sold which shows some sort of hardness rating. In the absence of that what tips do you use? and why?
