Will phenolic tips be allowed on jump/break cues at the BCA events in Las Vegas this May? I assumed so, but then I read the following in the equipment specifications:
Do phenolic resin and canvas resin tips fall under "other fibrous or pliable material"?
POOL CUE SPECIFICATIONS:
Player may bring a maximum of 3 cue sticks to a match.
* Width of tip: no minimum / 14 mm maximum
* Weight: no minimum / 25 oz. maximum
* Length: 40 inches minimum / no maximum
The cue tip may not be of a material that can scratch or damage the addressed ball. The cue tip on any stick must be composed of a piece of specially processed leather or other fibrous or pliable material that extends the natural line of the shaft end of the cue and contacts the cue ball when the shot is executed.
