REAL CHAMPIONS are 'REAL CHAMPION' tips!!
That being said, we are talking about, 1960 to 1980-- ALL FRENCH made by a small shop that closed down, these are fibre backed, "CALF ANIMAL"--
This is a Animal from the BOVINE family, that is under the age of 1 year of age, these youngsters are then, Slaughtered, Skinned and then the meat becomes, "VEAL" and then the Hide goes to a "TANNERY" and becomes a leather product for many end products,
OF WHICH is, "POOL CUE TIPS"
The real deal and have not been made by the same family, business, for 20+ years,
The CHANDIVERT--BB Family of CHAMPION tips are--NOT NOT NOT NOT--
THE GOOD SHITE!!
Thats about all I can say,
The real deal was used by, Spain, Szamboti, Balabushka, Stroud, Rambow and such until there demise or they change all there approaches.
Hope this helps and the REAL STUFF, TODAY--
COST ABOUT, $15.00 to $50.00 per tip
Depending on a lot of, Vairables and Factors
Good LUCK
