"HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!! You were not kidding. I tried one of these on a good breaker last night at a pool hall. I hit the balls and everyone looked up to see if there were pieces of the balls on the table. These hit like a missle!!!!!! Everyone looked at the cue and tried it and all they said was, holy crap where did you get these!!?? I am not ready to let the cat out of the bag but you have a super product here!!!!!!!! Thanks,

Anyone used this tip before?? And how was it? Compare to?
 
these are nothing special, just normal canvas phenolic tips. actually i would recommend linen phenolic instead, it is stronger.
 
I have one on my Predator BK and love it...but yeah, it's just a regular canvas phenolic tip as McChen said.

Actually you have it backward. The linen based is weaker and will crack and or spilt. The linen base is basically the same as the brown buttcap material used on many custom cues. Its hard to tell from the pic which Barringer is selling. The canvas based is what I use...its much stronger and I've never had any problems with a single one. The canvas based is easy to recognize as it has a large bold weave pattern visable. Below is a pic of the canvas based.

i've bought the barringer ones, they are definitely canvas phenolic. i've talked with several cuemakers and predator and they've all said linen is stronger than canvas due to the way it's made. canvas is flat laminated which creates seams. linen is rolled, which lets it reinforce the rod with no seams

It can go either way. Linen & canvas both can be produced in pressed form or rolled form, and strength for either depends on many aspects. Some canvas are stronger than linen, and some linens are stronger than canvas. In cues, the linen is mostly used because of the finer weave & more uniform color/texture. But in reality, either is plenty strong enough to use in a cue. I use both for collars & caps & choose for color, not strength. Both are so friggin strong & hard it does not matter. The strength might matter in mechanical uses such as machine bushings, but in cues it's 6 one way or 1/2 dozen the other.
 
Tips

I forget which is which, but one is 37,000 psi and the other is 39,000 psi. Not much difference, unless you consider the Xbreaker's X2 tip, which was 77,000 psi., and the absolutely best tip for jumping that I have ever tried.
