If I may I'd suggest Le Pro tips they are or were the top dog of tips for many year's back when I was playing pool on a very regular basis .
They rarely ever mushroom and hold there shape quite well or did when I had them on my playing cues .

You don't need layered tips for house cues. As Rusty said, LePro is fine, as is Triangle.
Ultraskin. Good quality cheap.

Triangle tips.

Going pro
I don’t think the LePros have been that good the past couple years. They’re on almost all my players. I’ve had a few that have needed extra maintenance. One from Viking was good. But only 1-4 of the ones I put on was good. The others have been mushrooming. I would say maybe a bad box, but even the ones that Bob Owen put on my 2 shafts included. 1 was good one was bad. Even the bad ones still hit right, they just seem a little soft and have needed a lot of touch ups. But definitely a good tip for house cues when you get a good one.
I’d go lepro or elk master. You said hard, so forget elkmaster

Get WB's. https://www.budgetcues.com/products...JfhChQkzyH6duBczTf-YmxQtsJ8NC_rUaAiMeEALw_wcB Not layered but good hard tips and last a long time. wouldn't spend $$ for layered on house cues.

Layered tips are a gimmick that will leave specs of glue on the cueball. Triangle is the tip I use.
my favorite hard leather tip is the tiger everest
pretty much doesnt mushroom and just a lovely hit on it the older it gets
had one on a cue for 3 yrs and nothing ever hit like that cue did

I picked out a housecue from the rack and ran 135 points playing snooker with it. I found the same cue in the rack and the damn thing didn't work.
Triangle or Le Pro.
Flip a coin to decide.

triangles and lepros a good but not hard they are mediums and all over the place in hardness and quality
I'd go with phenolic! You can draw the ball back super far.
Just kidding, LePro Is ideal for house cues. For price and quality.

Tiger Dynamite tips are the hard layered tips that I use. Not quite as hard as a break tip, but harder than Everest and other medium tips. I have them on playing and on break shafts and like them. Price varies, I paid $22 for 2 (and $22 for 2 more...). I got 13mm, they come in 14mm too.
