Funny they do have that "milkdud" hit. I always say...Snipers play like an ElkMaster thats layered & made like a Moori. Nuff said...GADawg said:

The Sniper is a very tough and dense Boar Hide. On our measurement scale (Type A Durometer) this tip is medium-hard (97) however, the nature of the hides we select is that it always retains these little hair fibers that stand up and hold more chalk than any Pig or Cow or Water Buffalo Hides. This gives the tip far more grip and spin, giving it the characteristic of a soft tip.
For those that do not know, the "Type A" durometer is the World-Wide standard for rating hardness and density (leather is no exception).
Could you please post your "hardness" ratings for all of the Tiger tips.CrownCityCorey said:

Hi Corey,
Based on the Type A durometer, do you happen to know the hardness rating for a Moori Medium and an Elkmaster. Just curious to see where they stand in comparison.
BTW, I am having Mike Webb install a Sniper on my almost complete cue. Hopefully I like it as much as everyone else.
Regards,
Koop
I cant say I agree with some of that chart.
I have been using a LePro tip on 4 cues that i've had within 14 yrs of playing, when I bought my Vintage cue, I don't know what kind of tip it came with, but I absolutely hated it, and could never get used to it... does anyone know what type of tip comes with a Vintage cue?...I'd like to see what the difference of hardness in tips is...

I would be inclined to disagree- I have both and the Sniper plays lots harder than the moori-s

Lol! I don't happen to have any Moori's or ElkMasters.
Next time any of those tips float through here, I will snag the Durometer and record some results.
All the same.Tim-n-NM said:
I was a BIG fan of Everest tips, and still am, but the sneaky I just bought came with a TIger-X shaft with a Sniper tip. I have to say, the Sniper really really impressed me. It holds the chalk just as nice as the Everest but I actually think I get a little more control with the Sniper than the Everwest.
Tried the Moori med and I was not impressed, especially after all the good things I had read and heard. The one thing about it was it didn't come close to hoding the chalk as well as the Everest/Sniper and I got several miscues because of that. The Sniper feels to me to be just a hair harder when it comes to the feeling of the hit but on the reverse side feels like it gives more control. I don't how to explain that or how Tiger does that, but I like it.

I was using an "Everest" through the US Open 2005, then I switched to a "Sniper". After using that for a year, I have recently gone back to the "Everest" as I feel it suits my game/needs better.
