I know an installer who has some of these for like 45$ a tip installed and I am wondering if anyone has tried them?

He says someone he knows claims they brought their game up 2 balls but I am skeptical.

He only has the mediums right now.

EDIT: I suppose these are called athlete tips and are designed for a carbon fiber cue.

It's a good tip for sure, but when you read claims about equipment immediately improving your game, I call bullshit. No matter what equipment you use, given its reasonably straight and the tip has a nice nickel or dime shape to it, it's all up to the player.

I think he's just trying to make a sale, that's a HUGE load of Bullshit, saying you would go up two balls with a tip change. It would be the tip of the APA, they all need a two ball jump :ROFLMAO:

And that tip only comes in a medium.

I've never used the tip but from what i know it's a combo tip, It has hard leather on the bottom and soft on the top. It's the newest thing so they are going to hype it.
 
its just a buzzy name to sell an ever more expensive tips like popcorn
, like titan, how, zan , sniper etc, it will not up your game lol

If a tip could actually improve your game, especially 2 balls, everybody would need them or they would never win a tournament.

Currently using a sniper on a CF shaft. It hits good.

Tried the Tiger Onyx LTD, hits very much like a sniper which I used for years, took a lot to shape into a dime radius, can't say how long it will last but I like the hit, maybe a tad harder than the Sniper but very similar hit and chalk retention

Love Sniper on CF shafts.
However I recently (as in about 6 months ago) started using the G2 soft on the 12.4 Revo and the medium on the 11.8.
Fantastic stuff.
For me....so far...the best tip. The feel, grip, action - all of it - is so great.
Especially like the soft. But they're bot - for me - head and shoulders above the rest.

I pay $2.00 and $12 install for a LePro or Triangle tip at a Billiards store.
Not a layered tip but they are a waste of money.

They are consistent and worth it. I’ve put on about 9 this year on my cues and they are consistent from tip to tip. I’ve used lepros and I’ve had to take off 3-4 tips to find a good one. I haven’t had the need to do that with a layered tip
