I have not used them, yet. However, I had a quite lengthy discussion with Dennis about them. He explained to me the process of developing the tips, the time it took, how many designs he went through to get to this point, the quality and the cut of the leather, and the testing involved. Dennis & I have known one another for a long time and have always been quite open with sharing experience & knowledge. It's something we have in common. I can assure you these tips are legit, and only the tip of the iceberg. The man is meticulous and picky. These tips wouldn't be on market if they weren't the best.
I won't bore you with the discussion details but his purpose was based on the fact that we, as cue makers, don't have a real good tip. It hasn't existed in quite a while, partly because it's very expensive & there's a fair loss ratio in testing. He wanted a tip that felt, sounded, and reacted like the sweet spot every time, regardless of placement. And he feels he has achieved it. I believe him. I'll be seeing him at the expo next month to discuss in person acquiring a regular supply to most likely become my standard tip on my cues.

FWIW I tried a Soft on my regular shooter. It just wasn't right for me, so I went back to a UltraSkin Pro.
I think they are reasonably priced and you can't fault the designer as he has impeccable credentials.
YMMV

Precision has become my choice tip for my cues. I've tried every tip available. So far. I like the Precision the best.
Absolutely love them
I bought a few to try them........... I put a hard one on a good player's cue today......... I liked the way it cut.... the material comes off in a nice shave or a powder with a utility blade. There was no indication of it wanting to delaminate. It trimmed and burnished nice.
The player shot a few racks with it. He said it felt like other hard tips he played with and seemed to grab the cue ball very well.
To me it felt hard but did not have the "hard" sound when it hit the cue ball. This might be an indication the the tip deforms to the cue ball surface and them returns to proper shape.... (just my personal thoughts)................. there was no indication of mushrooming ................
I like them and I will buy more
