Cue Tip Question

[Kevin Lindstrom]

I am trying to determine what make of layered tip is on my 1999 Troy Downey cue. It is black on the side of the tip (the burnished area) and is kind of a blueish-greyish light blackish color on the chalking area. I called Mueller to ask Troy Downey what he was using in 1999 but I'm sure the tip would have been replaced since then from the previous owner. I bought the cue used online and can't seem to be able to contact the previous owner for clarification. Does anyone have any idea what type of tip this could be. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like a Sniper. The sides have probably been colored black.

A picture is worth a thousand somethings or others. Did it look like one of these?:

This looks like a police lineup or mug shots. Can you please show the next slide, Detective Tipseau.

Top row second one from the right, What make is that. I will try that one first. Thank you

Try cleaning the sides so that you can clearly see the layers. Moori's generally have layers that are all the same thickness and very parallel. Some of the other layered tips, especially the older ones, were "wavy" from layer to layer and were not as consistant in layer thickness as Moori's. Take a picture of it from the side. Maybe even hold a ruler next to it so we can see how thick each layer is. That might help someone identify it.

That's a Talisman WB. They're pretty hard across their range of hardnesses. Is your tip really hard? Does it "ping"?

Try a Hercules Med. They hold shape very well. You can shape it with a ulitmate tip tool without layers peeling off.
And they hold chauk very well. Also very little or no mushrooming.

No it is not very hard, it seems to be more of a medium and that's why I like it. I can use my tapper on it ocasionally with out damaging the tip. It holds chalk well does not mushroom and I avoid miscueing with it, unlike my Moori medium which hardly holds chalk and miscue's often.

If it's not very hard, my guess would also have to be a sniper by Tiger Products.
