A good Triangle is hard to beat.

New Triangle tips! Have asked them to change the box somehow when they do go into production so we will all know we are getting new stock.
This is my opinion only. I have great respect for Tweeten and their contribution to our game/ industry. In order to keep tip prices relatively low Tweeten must use the entire hide to make tips. The belly area leather is of a different density than the rest of the cow/ steer hide. Tips made from belly leather will have more air and sponginess to them (which is a non-factor in most other uses/ applications where the leather is more highly processed). That is why the best Triangle tips are usually "sinkers" and the ones that are bound to fluff out are "floaters." There are also "half sinkers". Hehe. This is exactly why harness and bridal leather is made from specific stronger areas of the hide which does not include the belly (like the shoulders). Soaking and pressing might overcome the problems in at least some but not all of the spongy tips.
If it was possible Tweeten should consider offering an upgraded premium Triangle and LePro tip made from prime hide like the shoulders or butt. Increase the cost accordingly. Triangle Prime anyone? Lol.
Any update as to when and where these will be available? Is it safe to assume any boxes of triangles are NOT these newer/better triangles? Thanks
Talked with my guy at Tweeten about a month ago. Told him about my success rate with the tips he sent to me to try. He said to get back with him in a month and he may have more info. Sorry, wish I had more info. Will email him today to see if I can get an update. To my knowledge, the test tips are not being sold yet. I did ask him to change the box in some way when they did to help us out.
Yes please let us know. I’ve been playing with one since mid December without any issues at all.
Spoke with him today. Said within next two months they should be ready to begin sales to public!
Thanks keep us updated and let us know where they can be purchased from when they do come available.
Years ago there were No Layered Tips, not sure when layered Tips came to market. But my old got to Tip was a LePro.
Believe it or not people still use em, like em, and play well with NON-Layered Tips.
I play with solid tips.
I got tired of paying $20 plus for a stinking piece of leather glued together.
I get Triangles installed in one day locally for $13.00.
Dang Uncle Ted isn`t charging you enough for tip installs, Lol
