Same guy thought a woodworking lathe was suitable for tips. I'd bet pretty good he wouldn't know a pressed tip from pressed duck.How many tips do you go through in a year? You "just started back" playing pool. Is your "tech" not able to spot good from bad? Have you asked him how HE installs them and how long HE presses for? And you're truly confident you can tell one tip from another in terms of good or bad and all this to say you've got a personal read on Triangle and Lepro?
You don't make sense, your stories never line up.
Good luck.
