Cue tips test hardness with "Durometer"

How so? Please elaborate. thanks
I've seen them measuring tips, such as LePros, and then categorizing them by their specific hardness. Let's say 76s, 77s, 78s, then selling them as such.
These numbers are derived from the average of a very large sample. It is meant to show hardness relative to other tips on the market, not tip-to-tip of a specific tip brand.
Not trying to derail the thread, but on a side note I wanted to give Ryan and the Muellers crew some props on their Dudley tip....I'm hooked!
Its my own special recipe...

you have a recipe = what is it?
are you going to tell the pool world it is proprietary?
if you want to discuss this seriously, start with your recipe and we can have a useful discussion for all to see.

That doesn't seem like a good business practice to me but, yes, the way we make the Dudley tip is proprietary, as in, it is our process. Dudley is also trademarked. There isn't much to discuss that hasn't already been hashed over and over.
Trademark is a brand name. It differs from a registered trademark, which is filed. Registered trademarks are much stronger.
I'm sorry but do we have a problem? I commented in this thread to help with understanding tip hardnesses with my knowledge and experience. Did that somehow upset you?
I do the same thing, even tried the smash and fold on the really bad ones.

Durometer readings vary depending on the scale. IMO, the D scale is what should be used on cue tips. Some think the A scale is best. I think the scale this seller is advertising is a Rockwell R scale. A 100 reading on that scale would be about 75-80 on a D.
I'm curious about Onyx as well. I've heard so many good things about them on this site, that I'm having my cuemaker put it on the new project I commissioned.
Any tests or comments on these Onyx tips?
Are Snipers really only 67 in hardness rating?? I shoot with one and they seem harder than that....

Try this. I don't know how accurate the info is but its something.

Might seem kind of like a useless question but anyone here know a tip that will play like a well used sniper? I really like the way this tip plays right now but it's a 3 year old tip with about 2 layers left. I know it supposed to be a medium tip but it plays like a hard one due to all the use. Any suggestions? Thanks.
