Having some trouble with my Le Pro tip ie: miscues. I used Le Pro for many years. I changed to layered tips when they first came out. I believe they were 7 layer back then. Upon my recent return to pool I needed a new tip. 9 years out of the loop I opted for "Old faithful" Le Pro. It could simply be a lemon, but I am not pleased with it's performance or it's unwaranted miscues. I am meticulous with the maintenance and upkeep of my tip & I chalk before each and every shot without fail. Part of my pre-shot routine. Being aware that AZB members are certainly more current than I with todays products I am asking for your imput on this topic. At this point I do want to spend an inordinate amount on a tip. But I do want solid, predictable performance that coupled with proper maintenance does not hearald unwarranted miscues. Your personal perspectives on this subject will be greatly appreciated. Much obliged :thumbup: Billy Bones
 
Triangle tips are a solid, consistent tip for cheap. It will do everything you ask it to do. I tease my friends who draw shorter than I do with their Kamui tips.
 
I'd say you simply got a bad Le pro....

The new layered tips are nice but they are not the end all be all and with all the flavors you could try about a dozen different ones before you find something you like all the way thru it's life cycle......

As far as the triangles go I thought alot of folks were saying there QC was gone and getting consistent ones was just a memory....

I've tried morri, moori2, moori3, moori4, wizard, kamui, elk master, Triangle, Rocky, Emerald, Everest, Future tips, Predator Phenolic, Icebreaker, Samsara, Champion, malavia, sniper... and a few more I can't even recall in all different hardnesses... The original moori was the nuts... The kamui stacks up pretty well but I got tired of trying to chase the dragon and went back to my tried and true Le Pro.. It's just as good today as it was 20 years ago so I am happy.... For now at least... I'm sure the next "it plays like an original moori" tip is about to hit the market any day.....
