Ok, know this has been talked about before, but, i am considering having a Moori Med tip put on my cue. Now i talked to Sarah Rousey about the tips, because she uses them. And she tells me they are really good, dont mushroom, and rarely need to be shaped.

Now i take Sarahs word with high regards. Now i have been using a Triangle tip for about two months and like the way it plays.

But i know some guys have bought layer'd tips and spent 20 or 30$ on them and didnt like them. Mainly because they was too hard, and they miscue'd alot.

Obviously i want the Moori Med. But is the tip going to play similar to the Triangle???

I think the triangle plays better I use to use moori. I have tried pretty much every tip out there and I keep finding myself going back to triangle!!

edit--- sarah is right though mooris I have used never mushroomed.
 
I make the best layered tips!!! What I do is stack 14 pigs feet on top of each other! Then I send them through my machine and stamp out the 14mm layers. I then take them and put then in a vat of elmers glue. After that I press them and then cook them for 12hrs after that I sell them for $5 a layer or $70 for a full tip!! If this sounds good to you pm me and I will send you some!!
 
I recommend trying the Talisman Pro medium tips. They're more reasonably priced than the Moris and also they don't mushroom. As a matter of fact, the Talisman tip on my stick has lasted for over one year.

If tips last as long as they do then why do people complaing about spending $40 bucks??? or maybe complain isnt a good word how about hesitant?
 
I use a Moori III Med on both my playing cues. I'm not sure what's "best" they're just what I like.

Moori

All -

I have Mooris on my cues almost always Medium. However they seem to be harder than the older ones so I had a soft put on it feels like the old medium to me.

The Gina I just bought had Moori on it both shafts from the maker. The Tad I got last week had hard (very hard) Tad tips. I replaced it with the soft Moori and it plays much better.

Without looking at durability, it's the initial cash outlay that's disconcerting: $40 vs only $10. And I charge only $20 to install a Talisman Pro tip.
 
I'm partial to Talisman Pro tips. I've been shooting with a Soft for about 3-4 years (mostly 1-Pocket) and have only gone through 2 tips. I have Soft, Medium and Hard in stock.
I have installed Talisman Pro tips for many of my customers ($20) and they are all satisfied.

I'm using a Moori Quick and it has mushroomed on me.... I think I'm probably going to go back to a Tiger hard.

the mooris will mushroom once after you put them on.......takes only a day or so if you're hitting alot of balls. once you shave the first mushroom off........it doesn't mushroom again.

i've had a few that didn't even mushroom once, but most did it once after a few days of countinuous play.

FYI - Moori III tips are $10 each at the link below.

So far as which tip is best, I think serious players should early on experiment with different brands of tips, different hardness (soft, medium, hard), and different radius (dime, nickel, quarter). Then decide what you like best and stick with that.

If you ask everyone else, you'll get as many answers as there are tips! That is why I got a spare cue, tools for installing my own tips, and ordered several different types of tips. Best lesson I ever had.

Buddy turned me onto the Moori (soft) at the DCC. I had them put on by Joe Blackburn and asked him to make it kind of cone shaped to the top so it would be straight if and when it mushroomed. It never did. Buddy was correct when he said you can get a lot more effective English with it.

the tiger hard is kind of like a med hard and the tiger med is kinda soft and mushy. i am using tiger hard right now but when i need a new tip im going back to moori meds. i havent had good luck with talisman tips. they mushroomed and delaminated on me. a few of them did but tony jones of talisman stands behind his product better then anyone else.
 
I had been using a tailsman medium since november. Tip still had plenty of life in it, but I changed it out for a Tiger Everest last week. Did that because I like a higher tip because I find I get a better break for some reason with a thicker tip. I break and play with the same cue, and I like a dime shaped tip. Breaking flattens it out a bit so I end up shaping it more than I would like for long tip life.

Both the tailsman and the Everest are good tips in my opinion. Tailsman medium isn't as soft as the sniper. I used a Everest on my other cue, which I just sold, for about 6 months and liked it alot.

Haven't tried a moori yet, don't know that I will because I have no complaints with what I'm using.

moori III med is a little harder then the talisman med but IMO mooris are more consistant from tip to tip.
 
tips ...

Tips are a learning process like everything else ... Usually the better player
you become the more you lean towards 'hard tips' because they offer the best control to a knowledgeable player... (Ever hear of a pro shooting with a soft tip?
maybe medium, but not soft).

Moori's can cost you up to $60-70 to get put on.
I have heard some good things about the Talisman hard layed tips.

I use a Hercules medium hard layered tip and have never had a problem.
I shape once after getting a new one, and usually never have to shape again,
just use a TipPik (and the new TipPik's are a must have for a player) on it when needed. I miscue very rarely, much less often than before I switched to Hercules. It cost me $30 to have a new one put on my cue, by a professional custom cuemaker, not by someone in some dinky billiard room that is not a professional cueperson.

hear pro's using softs all the time......most seem to use medium.....the rest use hard's and softs.

oldhasbeen just said that buddy hall steered him to a soft.


if you're getting charged 60 for a moori installed.........someone's bending you over and breaking it off in you.

First, $60-$70 for a Moori installed is way over the top. You're being taken.
Second, using a TipPik® on a layered tip is not a good idea. The picking action tends to soften the top layer which leads to delamination.
