which are the latest most popular cue tips?

better yet go to montana and get a permit for a bison(buffalo) hunt. then you get a trip of a lifetime and a hide with maybe a thousand tips to cut out of it.

cant beat a true bison hide leather tip/ and sell them for a free trip and see yellowstone national park.

and get to visit rusty while you are there.

I've harvested 3 cow buffalo when I had my 2 kids at home still , as for how many leather tips a full buffalo hide will give you would be endless !
I may even be talked into letting you use a rifle of mine to tip one over ha ha

I used ki tech for a few years but pooldawg8 tips can give them the 7 out. They hold Taom V10 really well.

Honestly I'm not a fan of Kamui. Many love them. I prefer a ZAN brand tip to Kamui. About the same price but no glazing like with the Kamui.

The Recoil playing tip by Bulletproof Break Tips is an interesting new one. It is synthetic, not leather. I have been using one for a couple of months now and like it.
I have been using the Bulletproof Recoil tip (green = hard) since March 3rd of this year, I have them on 3 shafts and the consistency of the tips is one of the things I love about them, the tip I used before the Recoil tip was the Taom Fusion, I was surprised at how hard that tip was but I did like it, one of the reasons I went with the Recoil hard tip, I'm using Taom V 10 chalk and I have never had a tip hold chalk better than this tip, even soft tips, I have found that the Sandman shaping tool is the ideal tool for roughing up this tip, don't use any pressure on the tool, just dragging it across the tip while spinning the shaft at the same time leaves dust for residue and lasts for about 20 hours of actual playing time, I said I would never use a CF shaft and now I'm using a Becue full CF cue, so why not try a synthetic polymer tip?

I have one of those on one of my break shafts. It's a very good tip.
😎👍

I have all three hardness of the recoil playing tip. I'm leaning towards trying one.

the real difference is hard or soft. that makes a tip somewhat of a personal choice. brands and technical ratings are worthless as any tip compresses as it is played. so all tips will get harder as they get older.

as a good player with a mind that doesnt affect his play, then you just get used to the slight changes as tips wear down.
any tip compresses....maybe any leather tip, in 5 months of daily play for a minimum of an hour a day my Bulletproof Recoil tip has never needed to be reshaped and plays the same as day one, if there is any wear it's minimal, just started using their break tips, I never say never but I would have to try a tip on someone else's cue before I would change from using this tip and it would have to blow me away.

If you are like me, if you try a tip and you don't like it you will cut it off and move on to the next one, I was really hesitant to try these, I even contacted them to see if they could give me a hardness scale rating, the answer I got was because they are not leather they don't test like a leather tip, to me the Green(hard) tip was just slightly harder than the Taom Fusion, only way to know if it works for you is to try it on your own cue...
 
My daily cue is an antique BBC fish pole. Is there a performance gain to a really good tip or does the age of the cue negate any gain?
