I was posting this for anyone who is considering any of these products.
I first have two playing shafts that are identical spec and play the same.
I had a searing medium on one and a pressed triangle on the other.
Here’s my feedback.
1. They both take chalk well, the searing seems to “hold” chalk a bit better
2. The searing tip needs almost no work or scuffing. The triangle needs a quick scuff weekly with regular daily play.
3. They both are about the same with shape, if I had to give the edge to one I think the searing wins by a hair.
The final decision for me was feel. The triangle in my opinion gives a smooth hit with better feel and feedback. Triangle has just always risen to the top for me over the last decade. I’ve found if you press it for 30 seconds in a vice so it's flat on both sides then install it - it’s perfect and creates perfect uniformity so you don’t get a bad one.
I also got a chance to use both predator and magic chalk
Overall the predator is a better chalk for me as it’s “creamier” and goes on nice but the downside is it gets everywhere!! The magic chalk is nice and doesn’t make a mess of the cueball and Object balls. So I use predator anywhere but my home table and magic chalk at home!
Again- just some idiots opinion but if it helps you make a decision - great!
Happy holidays
