I have been using these tips since January 3rd of 2025, I bought a new shaft in February and installed a Recoil tip on March 3rd, I have a table at home and practice EVERY day for at least an hour, I may have missed one or two days but no more and there are days I have been able to practice 3 hours, I practice by myself so I am hitting a lot more shots than playing a match, I premise this to give you an idea of how much this tip is being used, the pic on the right is on the new shaft, the one have used everyday since March the tip on the left I've used for 2 months, only slight wear and I don't let my tip get slick, I don't work for Bulletproof, I know people are skeptical of new things, I was too,it took me a while before I tried them, best tip I have ever owned
