Looking for medium to hard tip

[twal]

I and looking at getting away from the medium tips as I usually tap them so they stiffen up. I don’t think I am ready to go all the way with a hard tip.

The tip I current use as a Kamui Medium (tan).
Muellers has that listed as 75 on the hardness rating.

I don’t care to use any of the black tips. Personal preference. I just think they have a greater tendency to glaze over.

So anyway I am looking for something in the 78 to 79 hardness rating and looking for opinions.

Any one use tips in the medium to hard range and really love them?
What ones?

Is the no one who plays with a med-hard tip?
Looking like another trial and error for me:frown:

I won't spend a ton of money on a tip. I'm not even sure I like the idea of layered tips. It seems to me as one of those tips wears, each layer must be a little different than the other. :scratchhead:

Anyway, LePro is ok, just seems a bit hit or miss sometimes on quality these days.

I'm curious about the Triumph tips. These may be just what I want. Muellers has em on backorder last time I looked though .....

Tiger Emerald

I have had them on several different cues. They hold chalk well. They hold their shape well, and they play as good as any other tip I've tried. I think they are the best tip for the money period.

Med. to Hard Tip

Super Pro layered red buffalo tips ( $2-4 each), med. to hard, they hold up well (no mushrooming) and still will work the cue ball !
F.Y.I.

I use a tip at 82 on the durrometer, but I like them a lot. Last forever, almost no maintanence, holds chalk, does not miscue....

For me, there's nothing better than a good pressed triangle.

I second the triangle tip, hands down best tip for the money, can't go wrong with it and for less than a dollar per tip

 

[arps]

i usually soak/press Tiger Emerald tips to make it medium hard. i press it to about 70% of its original thickness, to achieve the hardness i prefer.

Pressed Lepros may work for you

i prefer triangle tips
i am told they are kinda hard

i like the way they feel and they are best for me

i agree none better. The transfer of energy to the cue ball is great!

 

[cuesblues]

Tiger Onyx is an excellent medium-hard tip.
I would also try an UltraSkin hard and maybe even a water buffalo tip.

 

[asbani]

Lepro is the best medium to hard tips, for me they feel right, specially if you get lucky with what you really want.

I know a Medium that likes Medium tips, go figure.

But he is a little on the portly side so his nickname is Medium Soft.

All layered tips require some maintenance
I prefer the gator grip.
I would also suggest trying an ultra skin hard.
The playability that comes with a black tip will outstrip the requirement of occasionally scuffing the tip.

your right after trying many tips over the years always back to these! Although have not tryed many of the newer layered tips in the last 10 years other than morri.
