They both have gotten so bad, you have to buy a whole box just retip a cue. it used to be that lepros were about a 50/50 and triangles were about 80/20 good to bad. but now they both suck so bad it costs more to buy cheap tips , throw them away, then put something better on anyway.
Although they might be good to take camping. Everyone likes to have marshmallows when they go camping.:(
 
Yes the majority of Triangle tips are actually cheap and spongee but you get what you pay for. However by using the milkdud method, it is an excellent way of getting more bang for your buck and milkdud's make great tips. I personally use a similar method to milkduding (that sounds so stupid doesn't it?) and ALL my Triangle tips I install play with great consistency and never go to waste. For the extra trouble of taking another step with the tips I think it is greatly worth it... but hey, that's just my opinion. Le Pro's are fully laminated when you get them so they don't take well to soaking in the milk; where as Triangles are raw on top when you get them, so they are easier to convert.
 
agree

I have been doing the same with lepros, triangle, elk masters and all the tips come out great, hold and play super. One of the lepros I am using right now has been used to break and play with for about 3 months and it hasn't even needed to be reshaped yet.
 
My Experience

I compress them in a tip jig and they pretty much come out the same. I apply a little heat while compressing. Here is the jig.

Real neat idea, Purd. Did you make the jig yourself?

Wait a half an hour to go swimming after you eat.

Never bring electrical devices near a full bath-tub.

Don't sh!t where you eat.




That'll be $15. ($5 per tip.)

Agreed, LePro's are getting way too crappy. Go thru 4 to get 1 good one, but you usually cannot tell until you've done the labor. And my old fav, Elk Masters bottomed out years ago. ARGH!!!

It's Moori Soft's from here on out for me!
