Just to say that after 1 month of solid break the tip broke right in 2 parts, it was just a try, come back with a Taom my best of all time. The hit of Taom is more solid also.
 
And by the way On Cyborg tip jump very very well, I bought a Lucasi jump cue and she came with a phenolic, bs to jump with that, i replaced it with this tip and that jump very easily.

Maybe the glue holding the leather in place failed and when you broke with it, the leather expanded and split the phenolic.
The original design before Tiger, used slow drying epoxy for the leather.

Looks like another good reason to use GOOD epoxy on synthetic tips, not c/a.
The problem is the tip material, the tip develop micro cracks in the center, break after break, at first apparence they seem good stuff but in reality they are B.S. And yes break tips do better with epoxy at least some break tips, my friend had problems with White Diamond and Super Glue.

I use the white diamond too, a little different though. It has an old Sumo tip turned down as it's center. It does hold with c/a fine. I just use epoxy for anything synthetic.
 
Cue fell over on concrete knocking the tip off. Cleaned it up and it looked like this. Cracks do not go all the way through yet.
