Tyr the Moori soft. I did and am very happy. You will need to get the mushroom taken out after you play w/ it for a bit, be sure you ask the installer to hook you up with that. Expect to buy him a beer or soda or coffee, or pay up to $5 to have it done. By pleasantly surprised when he does it for free.
A pressed and thinned down Triangle is really good imo.

There is no such thing really. Probably the closest I have ever seen would be old Tad Tips.

I would be interested to know why it is a requirement that it be non-layered?
cbi1000,
I would go with the Triangle tips, i used one for about 2months and really liked it.
Now on one of my shafts i have a Stingray tip, which is layer'd and it plays very nice. And cost me 8$ and had a friend put it on. So not sure if you just dont like layer'd tips or what. But i like the tip alot. And its alot cheaper than a Moori Med, which is what i have on my other shaft.
you can also go with Le-pro, which is about the same as Triangle, but less consistent, cuz i have used them in the past and some come rock hard, and some come almost like a med tip.

Triangle, hands down given your criterion.

I like the Triangles too. You can adjust how "hard" it hits by how low you cut the tip down. I like to cut the tip down so the sidewall is about the thickness of a nickel and shape the tip to a "quarter" radius.
Generally, the lower the tip, the harder/noisier the tip can be.

Like Black-balled I like the Moori. However, I'm partial to the medium. And he is 100% correct about the mushroom. It (mushrooming) will happen in the first week you shoot with it then it should be good after having the mushroom removed.

i guess ill be the first to not be happy with the triangle, i shoot with a lepro medium, got it switched to the triangle medium and the triangles are a bit harder, threw my game off a ton, hard to get on a good run. went back to le pro, shooting good again. personally i didnt have a good encounter with triangle, everybodys different. (by the way triangles and mauris tend to be harder than others, ex triangle medium is a bit harder than lepro medium)
It doesn't sound like your problem was the quality of the Triangle, just that their tip is harder than Le Pro's. For someone who wants a harder tip than a Le Pro, like the original poster on this thread, I don't think your experience argues against Triangles. (Also, I think there's only one hardness of Triangle--no soft, medium, and hard. Just Triangles.)Varsity2016 said:
Muellers created a hardness scale and gives the hardness rating for all the tips they sell (other sites do this too), so it might be a good idea to check there before you switch brands. Le Pros are a 78.2; Triangles 81.4.

A firend of mine, who is a cue maker, installs all my tips now. He puts presses triangle tips in a vise for 10-15 minutes before the install. I used nothing but triangles before, now I use thomas mh. Only bad part about them is I know only one person who has them, he gets them from taiwan.
