Well since I replaced my phenolic tip on my j&j last nite to a hard layer'd tip. I could care less lol.
I still have my elite jump cue with a phenolic tip.

I guess not everyone realizes Phenolic Tips are harder than a Cue Ball and put chips in them. Sorry I am not up on the latest hard tip for replacement of the phenolic tips. I have heard a Diamond Tip is good?? But My Jump shot might go the devil because of the new rule.
The white diamond tip won't be legal either, will it? I have one of those on one j/b cue, and a samsara j/b tip on another. The samsara hard leather tip hits very good (so does the white diamond, but I think you will be ruled against with that). Not sure though. Anybody know for sure?
im thinking of buying a cuetech j/b with a lepro tip. Is that a good break cue and is the tip good at all??? How hard was it to change that tip on your J&J I thought the tip and ferrule were all one piece on those?

Troy,
Have you tried the Talisman WB XHard tip?
That tip has one of the highest hardness ratings. I also have a leather tip from tiger that is extremely hard, in my opinion the Samsara does hit a bit on the soft side and I do not like that feeling.

IMHO Any Layered tip can't be as hard as a solid Phenolic Tip. I put one on a Buddies stick and they cut hard because they are layered. But they seem to sand a lot easier than Phenolic Tips. BTW he supplied 3 tip in exchange for putting it on. I have two left. He told me he got 3 for $ 10.00.
I have to agree. I've not noticed any difference on how hard they are, but I have definitely noticed a heck of a lot more control on both the break and on jumping.
I've put about 8 of these on for others, and all have had nothing but great things to say about them.
I was turned on to them by Royce Bunnel of OB cues. They use these on their break cues, and have been getting rave reviews.
The Samsara Break/Jump tip is by far the best tip out there. Even if phenolic was allowed again, I wouldn't go back. The Samsara feels just as hard but it holds chalk much, much better and is way easier to control. It also seems to jump a lot easier than phenolic. I have mine installed on a phenolic ferrule to give it a little extra.

The VNEA referees don't approve of that when playing a match, other than that, you should be ok.
