Can someone tell me which side of the Tiger Everest tip is glued to the shaft? The stamped side or the other side? I got a Preator 314-2 shaft and one came on it and I love it.
Thanks Jerry

The stamped side is suppose the be the side you glue down. That being said....as per Corey at Tiger.....it really makes no difference, you can glue either side & it'll be the same. The Everest tips made for the cuemakers have no stamped side. Everest is the tip I've chosen to put on all new Varney playing cues. Excellent, excellent tips.

also my fav and as kv said it makes no difference what side you glue
I also use Everest on ALL my custom cues unless customer specifies otherwise. Side technically does not matter...
If a tip has a stamp on it I always glue the other side...
i wonder if the Everest for dealers are the same as the ones they retail.like someone said there is no stamp and they just look different to me.i was checking out a bag of them and to me they look completely different.also the price was so much different.anyone ever put them side by side?
I believe they are exactly the same tip less cosmetic finishing and stamping. Tiger Products would not ever sell seconds or defective tips as they have too much at stake and tips are their main product. The cue manufacturer bulk Everest tip is intended only for use by makers who will use them exclusively on their cues and are priced for that purpose to makers and manufacturers. The Everest tip is becoming more popular and I notice that Predator uses them on their shafts.

I have been very happy with my bulk batch. I have not had a single bad one and have used close to 100

Exactly...I could not of said it any more clearly. I've used plenty of each and they are exactly the same. Tiger Products quality control with their tips is second to none. The bulk deal they offer cuemakers on the Everest is in my opinion one of the finest deals ever offered in billiard supply history. Quality products & quality people. :smile:
Edited to add: Predator tries to make the finest playing shaft possible. There is a reason they use Everest tips on all their new shafts.

Thanks so much for all the input. It sounds like my opinon of the Everest tip is shared by many of you. They seem to last a long time with hardly any maintenance.

The Everest "Production" version and the Everest "retail" version(s) are identical - cept for the finished and embossed glue side.
There are sometimes variances between batches, but those differences would be negligable and in no way effect the performance of the tip.

This is the absolute truth. Our laminated tips are the backbone of Tiger Products.
It has happened in the past, although extremely rare, that we have an issue with a batch of tips. It was with the original Tiger Jump/Break tip. The hybrid with Blue and Brown layers. There was an issue with the bonding of the cow leather on the bottom that only came to light after customers used the tip for a time. Once the issue came to light, we replaced all known tips with the a corrected version (the one currently available) and tossed 1,000's upon 1,000's of bad tips. That sucked!
We are pretty damn good at what we do and by now have plenty of seasoning at it! We have seen most of our competitors products and know their limitations and short comings. We are very secure :wink:
Predator was the first larger outfit to use the Everest as a standard; however there are plenty of smart custom cuemakers/suppliers out there that have done the same over the years:

Glued side
So if I understand you right. The embossed side should get sanded and then glued.

Yup, just roughen it up with some sandpaper then glue 'er right on.
why dont they have the red line
They didn't used to have a red line, and now they do. It's just a visual indicator of when the user should change the tip, nothing else.
