One more: Don't take up pool for a living.
 
In the low cost and non-layered tip category, Triangle is the best and most consistant tip out there.

In the "premium" and layered tip category, Sniper is the best that I have tried.

Some will scream blasphemy, but there really isn't much difference in playability between the two.
 
Moori Hard needs to be constantly resurfaced. Not good.
Sniper. I'd rather glue an eraser to my ferrule. Sorry all, I see how many people swear by them but the first was flawed. The layers separated. The second still never hit the way I expected and popped off in the middle of a tournament match. My fault right. Been installing tips for about 15 years. Some for myself and the rest for a pool hall i used to shoot at. This is the first tip I have ever lost this way. Truly disappointed. Especially at 15 a piece.
Will try a Wizard next. We'll see...

Sniper, hands down. I have tried MANY out there including moori, kamui, hercules, water buffalo, and on and on. Sniper is by far the best tip I have ever played with. As a matter of fact I still have some Moori's if anyone has Sniper's and wants to trade. PM me.

Call Tiger at 800-5-TIGER-5 (Mon-Fri 8:30a-5p PST) and ask for Tony. Just repeat what you typed here and he'll take care of you. ;)
 
dstoker. One tip I would recommend is a tip i have on one of my shafts for quite some time. The house man called it a Bear tip? He convinced me to cut one on my cue rather than the triangles that i swore by. This was years ago when the laminate tips were first hitting the scene. It was tough to cut and shape compared to the Triangles and was a hard tip for sure. Still on the cue and hits the same as the day I installed it.
I just can't find them anymore. I located the brand through an English supplier but never saved the link. Now can't find it. I like a hard hit. Triangles are too sift in my opinion. Fine hitting tip if your into the softer hit. I have gotten used to more feedback through the shaft when hitting the CB.
Anyone know where these tips can be found would greatly be appreciated if you pipe in. The only tip I could say with full confidence of putting full draw and feeling it really GRAB the CB. You could just feel a difference.
 
CrownCityCorey,
Not sure how to tell the guy how I feel about them. Its just one opinion. But 30 bucks on two failures kind of sends me in a different direction.
