Just getting back into pool about 3 years ago so much has changed, I swore I would never buy a CF shaft, I didn't lie....sorta....I own a complete CF cue made by Becue, I love the way the cue plays so much I wondered if someone would invent a rubber tip or something like it, I learned that a rubber tip would be illegal as it's not a fibrous material, Bulletproof tips came out with the Recoil tip, made of complete synthetic man-made material, the problem with leather tips is they are made from animal hide, you will never get consistent skin, I think that's why sometimes the tip is great and sometimes not so much, the same thing you get when using wood, I have 3 shafts with the Recoil tip on them and they play the same, if a tip popped off during a match I could spin on my spare shaft and not have to think about how this shaft plays compared to my main shaft, a consistent proper stroke will help make you a better pool player, my Becue cue and Bulletproof Recoil tips help me play more consistently, that, and a lot of practice.
