Hello, and welcome.
I've moved your post to this sub-forum, as it seems the most appropriate place for your product.

Hello! We now have a new synthetic polymer resin playing tip we call Recoil. You can find them on our website and we are offering a FREE soft tip (just pay the shipping cost) for players who want to try them and let us know what you think. Use code RECOIL at checkout on our website. If you'd prefer a Medium or Hard, use code RECOIL50 to get 50% off for the next 10 days. These tips do not flatten, harden, compress, or glaze and play as well as any premium leather market tip! The soft may mushroom slightly if you hit hard but the Medium and Hard will NEVER mushroom or lose their shape! Feel free to call us or post any questions you may have here. We have been playing with wood cues with a piece of leather glued to the end for hundreds of years! Finally, we have carbon fiber shafts that outperform wood and we're excited to be the first to have a replacement for the most inconsistent part of the game. We truly believe this is a literal game-changer!

Interesting concept! Thanks for the offer, I'm due to replace the PRO Ultraskin I currently use so I'll put one on my personal stick, give it a workout for a couple three weeks and post an honest review. Ordered.
Thanks again!
 
Felt strange ordering just one tip. But i can understand you want feedback.
Might be a bit before i get it on a cue, but ill share when i do.
 
I personally use the Bulletproof break tip, so I guess I should check out the Recoil. Thanks for making it easy for us to try it out.

Almost ordered one, but red would drive me crazy.

Also can you quantify the hardness ?

We can't compare these with leather using a shore D durometer because as we know how particular people are about their tip, it would cause a lot of confusion because the hardness ratings of these tips are very different than leather. Discovering this we tuned them to feel, sound, and hit like a typical Hard, Medium, and Soft leather tip. If we posted hardness ratings that are way different than leather, people would automatically assume the hardness correlates with the hardness of leather and would never give them a chance.
If red stands out and causes you aiming issues etc you can easily color the sides black with a marker. We are trying to solve a couple of issues we encounter daily and this is why we chose colors that stand out. 1. We want people to see this is something different from across the room. 2. We get people in our shop daily who don't remember what kind or hardness tip they have (all black tips look the same and we can't test the hardness accurately when they're worn down). 3. Having 3 colors (1 for each hardness) makes things a lot more simple for the players and the installers. 4. We didn't want to get lost in the sea of black tips.
 
Here are a few photos I should have posted in the original post.

Tip arrived in the mail. nice that you send patches and stickers with it. neatly packaged.
I ordered a bulletproof sight bridge just now. nice concept to be able to see through the bridge.
 
Hits fine as far as I can tell. I've always tried to place as little emphasis on my equipment as possible. Too many people get caught up in the trap of expecting equipment to affect their game in a significant way, when it doesn't. (in my opinion)
It installed easy, cut nicely. Used lots of follow, draw, and english shots with good results. Sounds good, feels good. I will play with it some more and if anything stands out I'll report it.
Not many pool players I've met are Vegan, but I imagine the ones that are will really like this option. The hide industry can involve practices that are very concerning from an ethical standpoint, and not supporting it could be a selling point.
