I’ve never confirmed that. The triangle confirmation is solid from the source.

But logically yes they would be if they are as thick as triangle are. But are they? I don’t have a clue.

15MM triangle are super tall. That’s why we know they come only fro the thickest part of the hide that’s used for tips. But I don’t even know if they are available in 15.

WB have thicker hide so I’m not sure. They have always seemed more consistent to me than triangle tips. But a bit too hard, I like them on break cues.

I’ve never hit a ball with a CF shaft and have no clue what they do to tips. If they hammer tips faster or not. How a tip is trimmed and tapered has a lot to do with that as well. Installing a tip is a art, some guys can make it look pretty and they don’t last for shit, other guys can make them look the same and they last much longer. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️
 
With a lot of these solid tips. It's like a lucky dip.the ony bonus is that your not paying a lot. Unless you, buy by the box. the modern Le pros, don't play the same as the very old ones.The only ones I have never tried is the red sumo tips. Which i don't think are made any more. Those triangles fatboy, is on about almost sound mystical!! I'm sure there out there somewhere.

Thx, I'll give Triangle a try. Who sells the above mentioned tips?

Searings are $10 (min of 2)
Throughbreds are $10
Hows are $28
Triangles are $38 for 50....... I drop them in water. If they sink, keep em. If they float, shit can them.

I have a hard time justifying the cost of the How tips, but they are a great tip.

Triangles just rock. Never been a big LePro guy.
You may have gotten a bad one. If it was me, I would try at least one more LePro, if that was my tip of choice..

Went to Big Dawg got two diff brands of 9 lay pig skin tips, both medium.
I remember when I saw my first layered pig skin Vegas in the late 70's (Moris?), they were being bought up then hocked for $25 a tip by the smart scuffler middle man pool room player detective. They were good tips, but the play conditions at the time had not yet demanded these newer tips. These tips tho were very difficult to find all the time.

Did they play as hard as some people claim?

They are hard but not rock hard. I have 3 people that play with them. They grab and hold thier shape. A nice thump when you hit the ball. My original goal with them was, as a break tip. They tranfer really well with cue ball control. Then I used them inside phenolic back when Mr. Gulyassy applied for his patent on the one piece phenolic tip combo. Kept me in Mike's good graces and I introduced it here.

Taller doesn't mean better. I tried numerous times on Triangles. Bad is just bad across the board.

I just went with 37 years experience & what Denis Searing and Nick Varner said.

Thickness isn’t the point

The point is the 15mm are more consistent. Denis knows the manufacture and buys direct from them. That’s all. Don’t shoot the messenger.

I would never. Your a good man Eric.
I've dealt with Skip at Tweeten. A fine Gentleman but consistency doesn't exist anymore. It's a shame too.
 
Here's a Tip :).....I've told before.

I've retipped Dufferin house cues, to the tune of 100 a yr for a 4 yr period at a pool room I opened.
The reason was hard wood floors, and beer.
W/O carpet, when those cues hit the floor it popped off tips Easily, and broke a box of Canadian Dufferin cues (50) twice a yr from the shaft end snapping off.
Those hard wood brewery floors cracked the cue stick end like a whip.
So, at home and at work, in one four year period, I probably installed 500 tips, 400 were from the in house Dufferins that would spit em off ea yr. We were busy, 145K in just pool time first 2 yrs. 1995

Open the la pro box, turn the tips over, look for the ones that have very little or No grain on the flat surface, look like chocolate/hopefully. Tap those on counter for the right hardness sound, keep and use the remainders for the house cues.
 
Well a couple days in with these tips, I love em. I’m using them on a revo and 314-3 for reference. Nice firm hit but grabs very nicely with no miscuses than normal 🤣🤣🤣
