❗Installing weird yellow square tips on cue shaft ❗

Amazon sells square cue tips for about $5 each. I used sandpaper and metal files to form the tip. It shaped fine with a Last4Ever tool. It appears to be some kind of layered ceramic material. A knife could scrape rather than cut the surface. The square tip barely scratched a phenolic resin cue tip. This tip is hard.

It has yellow top and bottom layers. Layers inside are white, brown, and reddish brown. Shaping the tip exposed the brown layers and polishing the tip made the surface show brown rings.

I used a cue stick with the yellow tip on it and hit nearly the same spot on a ball many times. Other hits to the ball using other cue sticks and tips had not affected the surface. Photo below shows that the yellow tip caused barely visible smudges caused by the cue tip. This is not chipping but is an effect not found using other cue tips. I imagine this damage could worsen with more cue-tip use. I miscued a lot using the yellow cue tip.

The square tips are sold as 15mm Cue Tip Replacement Kit for Pool Players, 3 Pcs by the no-vowel vendor, Lljsszr. Lljsszr sells many sporting goods and only a few billiard parts.

The company’s description is weird claiming it fits cues “perfectly”; its easy to install; that you could replace a cue tip during a game. It fairly enough claims the tip is small, light, easy to carry and store.

The tip would be good on a broom stick or to tip a $20 cue that Indians would still be able to play great with.

That's H10 or phenolic or some combination.. it's not for playing cues

My Jump tip is Not G10, as I have seen damage to my own cue ball from G10 break /jump tip. But the damage was from a hard breaker, Not from a jump shot. I'm with Steve, G10 is best left for other sports etc.
There are hard leathers out there , and other great break tips like the White Diamond etc Juan leather break tips are also very good

Square tips had never entered my mind, but they might actually be a lot easier to center on a ferrule before the glue sets; so they might actually be a good idea. You have to trim round tips so trimming off the corners of a square tip doesn't seem to be an issue. I think I like the idea!
