Just a couple tips

[Jule]

Also consider this...many tips are compressed with the edges being much firmer than the center...like Elkmaster, Lepro, etc. Now what happens when you install it off center? The softer hitting exact center is now cocked over to one side & the tip may very well hit differently depending on how its rotated & where the cueball is struck. Just my opinion...but I'll stand by it.

Now this may be so, but for a layered tip it doesn't matter at all. Even if it's slightly pre-crowned. And you were talking about layered tips. The end result is 100% equal if you install it slightly off-center or perfectly centered.

Ah but I have to disagree. All of your points are well taken had that been the case but actually it wasn't over sanded or misaligned. As it turns out the tip was mis cut from the start I just didn't see it till you guys noticed. Don

Very good. My number 2 was the problem then, it just wasn't done at your hand.
