So about a month ago I purchased a bulletproof recoil (red medium) tip, but I've been hesitant to put it on my playing cue, because I wanted to make sure it wasn't just a gimmick, and that people are actually using them, and it's getting reviews...

I tried the blue soft tip from Bulletproof. I didn't like it. It played pretty good but felt weird to me. Cut it off after a couple hours of play.

I put a Bulletproof break tip on a cue for a friend recently. I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it cut and shaped.
I just had a Bulletproof Recoil tip installed last weekend, I have gravitated to hard tips so I went with the green one, the color is the same as the TAOM V10 chalk I use anyway, initial impressions are it feels like a normal hard tip but it holds chalk WAY better, I haven't had it on long enough but I haven't had to shape it and there is zero glazing, I love the hit of this tip and I am keeping it on, I replaced a Kamui Athlete Hard tip, I don't believe a tip will make you a better player but less tip maintenance is a nice plus.
Had the clear bulletproof on a break cue for a bit... it dents and mishapens pretty easily. Would not recommend that one. The others I am not familiar with.
A buddy has the blue tip installed on a Revo. I've shot it several times and it shoots and holds chalk well. Only thing I found with it was that you had to put a lot more effort into draws but it wasn't anything that couldn't be compensated for.
There a ton of people that have the break tips installed in the leagues around me. No complaints with those that I've ever heard outside of one flying off but I believe that wasn't installed properly to begin with.

Those royal oak come from oak whiskey barrels and don't shoot very straight.

I have the Bulletproof clear break tips for over 3 years on 2 of my break cues and have never had an issue and still looks like the day I got them. I have just switched to the green (hard) recoil coming from the AIM Bulletproof multilayered tip. I have only played with it about a week, and it does take a little time to get used to. All good so far, feels more responsive, but I will have to report back after further use.

I recently received my soft recoil tip from Bulletproof but have not installed it yet.
I will probably install it when the Ultraskin I currently have on expires.

Maybe it’s me but I can’t get used to these tips. I use a Revo 12.9 shaft with a Techno dud soft tip. My other CF shafts don’t feel as good to me as the Revo. I have a Rhino and Bulletproof CF shaft as well. I guess it’s like an old pair of shoes. I’m going to stick with the horse I rode in on. lol.
I do all mine by hand. It requires patience as I use the hard tips. Green. I installed a few of the clear break tips and they are like diamonds. Takes quite a while to get the shape you want. I have a 7" aluminum tip shaper impregnated with cutting teeth that does the trick. But it still takes time. Good things come to those, etc...
