What did you feel different from the two.

The Molovia I put on was a hard, the Moori a medium, which are very close to each other in terms of how hard they are. On the subjective side, it seemed to me like I had a little more feel of control with the Molovia. But the biggest difference was when the cue ball and object ball were very close and shooting a lot of extreme english jacked up kind of shot. I would sometimes miscue with the Moori. I am not saying that wasn't my fault, but the Molovia was more forgiving on these shots and grabs the cueball better (for me at least). I don't think the Molovia holds up QUITE as well as the Moori, but it is a layered tip and holds up great with a great feel.

The word consistent and Lepro's don't even belong together. It seems everyone wants to make a tip to compete with moori, I wish someone would give Tweeten a wake up call. Triangle is the only descent tip they offer. Although I wish they would eliminate the pad on Triumph and make them a little thicker.

I aggree That's one of the reasons I press all le-pros. It makes them all hard tips so to speak, but atleast they are more consistent, and require less follow up work also.
The triumph seems pretty consistent, but I feel the same way, and really don't care for the backer. The tip almost feels like My moori out in the open table, but without that feeling of loss of control at extreme times that Kelly mentioned. The hit however feels flatter to me or something, therefore i do not read the amount of compensation as well, and It does'nt seem to put/transfer as much spin or english (for a lack of better words) on the object ball. Has anyone tried cutting the backers off of them to see how they play?
