Hi,
I tried searching and found some info on the legality of using phenolic tips in BCA league competition. According to the rules I read it seems that any "non-leather" tip would be illegal.
I am looking for opinions/advice.....
I just started playing in a BCA league for the first time and it's been fun so far. I was going to pick up a cheap Jump/Break Cue to try out but it comes with a Bakelite tip (http://www.seyberts.com/products/Players_JB8_Jump_Break_Pool_Cue-103334-332.html).
Now when I asked the LO about the legality of using phenolic tips they said they were unaware of any rules against them. I had seen a couple of people using phenolics but I didn't want to stir the pot being new to the league scene so I didn't take the conversation any further.
So do the rules prohibit phenolic tips? And if they do and others are using them, then should I just go ahead with the philosophy that asking forgiveness is easier than permission?
Also, Is the ferrule on the players stick I was looking at one-piece?
And how hard would it be to put a hard leather tip on it if I had to?
Thanks
