Best non-phenolic tip for a break cue?

I like a good old fashioned Triangle for my breaking cue
Best tip is subjective. But I preferred the White Diamond. But this was for a jump /break cue. A hard leather is a good choice for a break-only cue.

I've had really good luck with a ultra skin ivory hard, and the HH. Tried the white diamond and loved the hit but couldn't get it to stay on my ferrule. Might be the glue I'm useing.
Currently trying out a lexan tip, and really likening the results. Breaks hard and still have control.

I could not control breaks with phenolic tip either. For just breaking, I would agree with Triangle or WB. probably any good hard leather tip properly shaped and maintained will do. I am right now having the white diamond installed on my Gilbert JB cue as per other AZrs recommendations, so will see how that works out.
Outsville Hammerhead. No phenolic.
Water Buffalo.
I'm looking at a jump/break combo. Would you still recommend a hard leather tip if you're using it as a jump cue as well (versus non-phenolic synthetic)?
I was looking at a tip upgrade option of either the white diamond or the samsara break/jump. It looks like the Samsara is all leather.

I like hard leather tips too. I am gonna try a pressed Le Pro tip next.
Seybert's used to sell a tip they advertised as "Schon". I think it is just a Water Buffalo tip though, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have one on a shaft and it is HARD.
Otherwise I say Triangle.

installed a bulletproof tip at the turningstone classic. WOW
Agreed. These tips are the future.
