WTB Break Tip

My fiancé let one of our players use her pechauer break the other night. He miscues the first swing and the tip goes rolling down the table. Kind of interesting to hear the rules dispute behind whether it's ball in hand if your dislocated tip coming into contact with the cue ball results in a foul. But anyway, I need to replace the tip. I'm not totally sure what I'm looking for. She doesn't break with English, just focused on a square accurate hit but I'm not confident that a plain hard leather tip will give her the pop that she needs due to lack of power/swing speed. Any ideas?
 
If you like leather then yea samsara is a good choice. But if spin is not a problem and you want to devastate the rack G10 or G11. Stupid powerfull.
 
I appreciate all of the input from everyone! What I need now is people that are selling. I've never personally broke with a samsara or a g10 but I'd be willing to try either or both as long as the g10 won't pop off. I've never had phenolic come off but I have had white diamond come off
 
Make sure you can use a tip other than leather. Some leagues outlaw anything other than leather tips on break/jump cues.
 
I've Got a Better & Less Expensive Answer!

While I've got nothing against Samsara tips for breaking, I've found another tip made of medium-hard, layered, Water Buffalo hide, that I prefer over my Samsara tip (never gets used), and you can buy them for a fraction of the price. Samsara's are literally 25-30 times more expensive! Get better grip and a much better price with this tip. It can also double quite well as a playing cue tip. I don't believe there is any relation between the White Diamond tips you have been using, made by Joseph Picone of TNT Custom Cues, and these Black Diamond tips, which
are made by Adam. Think of me when you have that lobster dinner with your fiance, with the money that you saved!

P.S. I have no affiliation with the above seller. In fact, I'm going to order 10 of these tips from him now, and I'll be practically good for life, regarding break tips.
