IMPACT Break Tip

So, after the Samsara break tip on my BK2 wore down and needed replacement, I headed over to Society Billiards in the city to get it replaced. The cue mechanic did a great job, but the tip didn't quite hold up. I consistently break about 19MPH, so I'm definitely not a big breaker. After about 5 breaks, piece of the tip flew off. Since the mechanic was there, he reshaped it for me, and I used it the rest of the night without any issues. About 2 weeks later, ANOTHER piece flew off. Now it's basically chipped away to an unusable deformity on the end of my break cue. I'm thinking about swearing off layered leather break tips, even though I like them. I don't like phenolic tips, anyone have any suggestions? And has anyone else had a similar experience?

I break in the 21 range and have had no problems with the samsara tip on my break cue.
 
Best break tip I have tried is an Odega (jumps good too). You can get them from koinnkid.
