Definitely not Le Pro, there are at least 20 better tips.
The Kamuii 2 and Kamuii Black are pretty hard to beat.

This is as much personal preference as anything else on the planet, like a best keyboard or mouse or chair or shaft type or woman.
I'd say the one tip that just about everyone likes is the Kamui Soft Black.
Funny thing, if you try to do a forum search on "cue tip" it comes back as saying the search words are too short or too common. Even best cue tip gives the same error.

Legend58...There is no answer here. How a tip "feels" and how a tip "plays" is as subjective to the individual as anything else. There is no single tip that is "best"...and FWIW, english control comes from your stroke, not the kind of tip. LePro tips are certainly one of the least expensive tips out there, and perform admirably, imo.

This is truly the correct answer. Its been years since I played with a LePro so I won't comment on them, but I have a Pooldawg Milk Dud on a 1st gen Predator shaft that I use with a Little Al Romero sneaky that plays great, thanks Trav D. AND I have Kamui Black Softs on my !st gen Predator shafts for my Kenny Murrell 8 point cue that play great. So have fun figuring out what you like. Its the journey not the destination.
PoolDawg8's Milkduds/Elkduds 3 for $9, cant beat that and they are simply amazing.
my 2 cents...
Try the Milkduds. Try UltraSkins. Try Kamui Black if either of those didn't work for ya.

2nd
same as above .
see tom hay in asked the cue maker section on the ultraskins tips.
I would rate them next to any tip on the market.
plus tom is a home boy or azb member . 5 stars rating for azb good guy.
I have heard great things about some of the milk duds too.

Le pro's and elk masters are incredibly inconsistent from one tip to the next. Some of them are hard as rocks and others are super soft. Why you would recommend that to anyone is beyond me.
Milk duds if made correctly are pretty consistent but harder than the average guy would want. I like them but prefer a harder hit. Triangles are another good option if money is an issue.
Moori's aren't what they used to be, neither are the Tiger line of tips. All inconsistent.
I haven't gotten to try Tom's tips although i would like to. Every single Kamuii i have bought has been worth the price. they never mushroom at all if you pull the first couple of layers off the top. The black soft is not a medium tip like everyone says it is, it is still soft compared to many mediums.
the Wizards I have tried have been good too

Isn't that the truth!!!
I really like the early, early Moori hards. I had some installed in the '90s on most of my shafts and still have most of them. I recently had a Moori medium installed and it's not nearly the same.

Who does em, though? :frown:
Don't believe those who say there is no answer to your question.
Have an Everest installed by your friendly neighborhood cue repair person.
If you can't play with an Everest tip, you can't play with anything. :smile:

I had a Moori quick on my McFadden and it played great.
The McFadden now has a Chris Byrne medium layered tip on it and it plays great also.
My Mighty Lucasi has an Emerald tip on it and as usual it plays great.
I can't spend big bucks on a tip so for the low end a Triangle is fine and if you want a cheap priced layered tip a $5.00 Emerald will work just fine.
If anyone wants to send a broke old man a top of the line layered tip let me know. :thumbup:

KAMUI Black Soft
Kamui black soft ,or kamui black medium, are the best imo..
Sniper tips are pretty good as well.......
