I actually do feel like my game has gone up a bit recently with all the balls I've been hitting and the tougher tournament I'm playing.
I've got the second ball break down pretty well just started toying around with it since I see alot of higher levels using it.i love the spread .
And I never was much of a tip whore meaning that I never had to have this or that every tip was nearly indiscernible from one to another to me
. But I recently got what must have been the hardest lepro in the box and it's like I've found the missing link. This what was destined for me lol, even the shit bar tournament with the heavy ass cue ball, it does exactly what I'm intending to do now with this tip on.
I feel I love immediately with the first hit after putting it on.it makes a lovely clunk sound on every hit.
Thinking out loud here: I don't remember what it's called when someone gets something new their senses kick in and they tend to focus more - I wonder if the new tip had that affect on you, so now you're REALLY paying attention to english and follow through, so you're generally shooting better but the new tip is throwing you off?
In my experience, the harder the tip the more deflection. Start paying to attention to your misses - is deflection causing them most of the time?
A little side-bar - harder tips, to me, have a much better sound, the softer the tip the more I hear a dead "thud" versus a harder tip gets that ping I like. I have a hard time judging the result of the hit with softer tips and therefore change my stroke and it screws me all up. A harder tip, to me, is much more consistent.
Just random shit I think about
