What kind of tip? Most single layers play ok for a while but eventually they start feeling dead. Layered tips are probably hardened and need replaced too. You can play with them for a few months with no trouble, but budget for a replacement when you can.I'm getting back in the game and the cue I’m using probably has a 8 year old tip. It visually seems fine. Has age degraded it? I’m shooting with it and it seems to work but I don’t have a comparison between what would be an OK tip and a good tip.
I'm basically the same with one of my cues but only 20 years.I just started back in June after 22 years of not playing, and used my stick with the same Triangle tip. And has worked fine.
They are sooooooo good. Makes my heart warm to hear about old Le Pro’s getting used.Howdy All;
I have about 2/3's left in a box of Le Pros that I bought in 79. Figure they
were made in 78 or 77. WTFKs??? Any way just had one put on a shaft
and just spent 3 hours breaking it in. Works very well on the cue its on.
Think it has to do with the coating. Makes'em the M&Ms of cue tips
