That price is just a few dollars more than what I paid for mine at Seyberts including shipping. Seyberts actually changed the tip to one we agreed on.
I was happy with the leather tip they put on, but about a month later, I still decided to get an extra BK2 shaft with the original phenolic. I definitely have the break cue thing covered! lol
I know that putting a leather tip on defeats the power thing the BK2 is known for, however I find myself pulling out the leather tip BK2 shaft more than the phenolic one.
