Bulletproof Recoil soft tip review

[Brother Ron]

I installed the Bulletproof Recoil soft tip on my cue and shot with it several hours.
Holds chalk great.
Has a little different sound but I got used to that.
It takes some practice to get used to positional spin.
Also takes practice to get extreme draw.
Overall it is a very good tip that requires low maintenance.
It does not seem to mushroom or glaze over.
I did not have any miscues while getting severe draw or spin.
The hardest part is mentally gaining confidence in a synthetic tip that I never tried before.

I am using the green and I agree with your points here. I have been shooting with the green one for a long time now. I rarely ever scuff it or hit it with a tip-pick. It DOES lose its shape over time though, consistent with how your other
tips might wear down over time (my tips always get flatter over time, I have a friend whose tips tend to always get rounder over time).

I've had the soft (blue) on for several months now as well. I wanted softer than the Thouroughbred I tried, and definitely got that. I've had no mushrooming (even tho my burnish job ain't great - they're tough to burnish nicely.) I've lightly touched it up with a nickel-radius Last4Ever tool once, and I'll hit with the tip-pick once every week or two.

I agree with Brother Ron that it takes a little getting used to, and if you need to draw most of the table, you better come with a pretty good stroke. And man, it definitely holds chalk. With V10/Pagulayan you can chalk once a rack and be done with it.

For me, it has become a case of, "be careful what you wish for." I've found it to be terrific for a bunty, mid-table game in fast conditions. I wanted soft, and I got it in spades.
