Absolutely! I ask if they want a dime, etc. radius and then ask (for layered tips) how tall they want the finished tip to be. For single layered tips I usually take of about 1/4, then shape to final radius. This has worked quite well for me.
That's actually a good idea. If I used a tan tip probably wouldn't look as high on wood shaft but Black tip stands out and looks tall. On my Jacoby CF shaft you don't notice cause the shafts black
Yep makes sense. I ended up trimming 1/4 down and put dime radius on it with 11.9mm shaft. Looks good now
Hmmmmm. Every $400-600 shaft I bought always had that same profile I have with sharp edge. I don't think I've seen with my own eyes what you are talking about but if you have pics of top level guys with edges filed down I will surely change.
I wasn't arguing just saying I've played with that shape for 24 years and havnt miscues. I was just saying is that your take or do you know of many top players that after they dime shape go back and sand the edges for that angle? Just a question that's allIf you think you are right, go with it and make miscue
Top player don't play with sharp edge like you show, you can't put maximum english securely with that shape, the draw that i showed is just an exemple we can modulate our form like we want, but the edge need to be more rounded. Do how you think.
Well shit all these years I've been shaping them wrong so I'm going to round those off tomorrow and try it out. Tha ks for the tip and never thought about it that way
Do you fill down from tip to butt or use the sandpaper file to go up and away from you?
You can buy a pin for your joint and use a drill to turn your shaft, when I use a paper sand file I fill up from butt to tip center.
