and heres my 2 cents..... i went from a le pro wich could never keep its shape for me to an elkmaster wich needed to be reshaped about evertime i played with it, then to a triangle. it may be love with this one. since i put it on ive only shaped it maybe twice just cause i was cautious before a tourny but this triangle tip give me more draw more follow all with out putting a big stroke on the ball i get excellent feedback with a nice firm hit wich is my preference but i feel i can move the ball around more easily. oh and i never break with my playing cue
