Recommended Best Tip For Breaking

Haven't White Diamond changed formula over the years, hence why they are now called White diamond Ultra? The first ones I used many years ago looked like a solid white tip, now they look like they have some layers to them.
The only shaft I have had trouble with tips coming off is a McDermott I3, anything other than a leather tip would just not stop on.

My Meucci 13mm carbon fiber break shaft came with a tan cloth phenolic ferrule and tip combo. I’m going to try it out before changing it. Looks very nice

A member here recently sent me some hard tips to try out and I installed one on my break cue yesterday.
It was dark brown in color but turned light blue when shaped and sanded... might have been a water buffalo tip ??

The best tip is to work on technique, not equipment.
With tips, I get the impression people buy shit and are expecting it to nail a very narrow zone. Failing that, move on.

I know phenolic tips are not liked very much but the tip/ferrule combo that came on my Meucci shaft is excellent!
