I did ask this in the main forum and got what I considered a very good reply from Chuck Fields. Still - it was suggested that I ask here for any further details and explanation. So ...
I noticed on Seyberts site that some tips are listed has having a backing - many are not. I also noticed the "pads" they sell. (as do other sites).
What is this backing? What does it do? What are the advantages? Disadvantages? Is there a difference between those "pads" and a "tip backing"? If using the pads, should they be put on the tip and then attached to cue .. or does the pad go on the ferrule first? Thanks for any input you good folks can provide.
