NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

I put a soft on my spare Predator 3 shaft. It installed very easy.

I liked the tip for longer shots with little to no English. It felt like it had better accuracy than my current playing tip.
It did seem like it took more effort on draw shots but overall, it did play a lot better than I was expecting it to. It
is a little pingy sounding but that was not a big deal. I think that I might like it better after a few more hours of play with it to
get a better feel for how it reacts to the way I shoot. First impression I was pretty pleased with how it played. If these tips were cheaper they would be great for the local pool hall cues with all the abuse the tips get exposed to.

Very fast shipping and appreciate the extra surprise.
 
Just ordered two soft. I'll try one and will gift one to someone I know who can never be bothered by tip maintenance...

Thanks for the feedback! The soft will absorb a little of the energy, so it will take more effort on long-distance draw shots. The medium will draw like a typical medium leather and the hard will give you more draw than any tip on the market (IMHO) We offer wholesale and bulk pricing for pool halls that would like to put them on house cues.

PM sent.
 
I only received 1 of the 2 tips I ordered. I sent an email and a PM with no response so far.
 
Thanks for the free tip! I got a soft/blue Recoil last week, and put it on my Cynergy shaft (11.8) by hand, replacing a well-worn Tiger Sniper. It installed and shaped pretty easily, but due to - I think - old glue, it popped off on hard draw shots. (Twice.) Tried again w/new tube of glue and a bit more care, and it's holding fine. (FYI, same type of CYA gel.)

I hit around a bit over a few days at home with it, and yesterday I played sets for 8 hours - and I didn't think about it once, forgot there was a new tip on there. Chalks fine; no miscues, nothing unexpected, no noticeable difference in "feel". For me the less you notice your equipment the better. (Maybe it helps that I came out ahead. :-) )

The material seems pretty hard, I don't expect it will mushroom. Will see over time how it holds its shape. And I like the blue! So far, so good, thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback! We are getting positive reviews from everyone who tries these. The soft may mushroom slightly if you hit hard but nothing compared to leather.
 
The soft tips do mushroom slightly. I've installed them for 2 other people now, and they both are very happy with them.

Update

I have played with the soft now for a good 20 hours of play.
I really do like the tip. It has mushroomed some, I play the whole game with this tip, breaking included.
I feel like I am getting better accuracy on my longer shots than I was with my normal tip.
I want to try out the medium but I hate to cut this one off so soon.
