Tips not needing chalk
- Thread starter Jobba786

I have made more than one. I made it from a soft polyurea rubber (think of a spray bedliner but a lot softer).
It was great for one thing, breaking in 8 or 9 ball.
Would it be deemed leagal to play with? Off the go no. Hundreds of thousands of dollars and years later? Perhaps.
Most materials in the game changed from neccesity. I see no neccesity or benifiet from not chalking your cue pretty much after every shot.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but...
There's a very simple truth to miscues that many players refuse to believe: If you 1) have a decent tip and 2) chalk the tip enough to grip the cue ball, miscues are almost 100% the fault of a bad stroke. Fancy tips and magical chalk isn't going to change the fact that you miscued because your stroke is bad.
Please note that I'm not listing any "good" or "bad" tip and chalk brands. Getting into that debate is completely pointless because different players like different things. But please know that if there was a tip and/or chalk on the market that GUARANTEED you'd never miscue again, they'd be overnight billionaires.
So, if you're looking for something to reduce the number of times you miscue, I highly recommend lessons. And, no, I'm not being a smart-aleck.

Thanks a lot for your replies. I had a look at the tips Rat mentioned and found some reviews by googling them, but I have to admit they don't look very promising.
.... and no I was not planning on using them for less miscuing, but wondered what was available on the market.
Thanks again, Jon Birger
