  • Pressed tip?

    Hi,

    I've recently fitted an elkmaster to my cue to give it a go as i've heard good things about them.

    I'm a regular pool player and an occasional snooker player and last night found the tip a bit too soft for snooker (felt a bit like a jelly tot to be honest) and i couldn't seem to do a lot with the cue ball, is there any way i can harden it up?

    I have seen people press their tips - what is this and how is it done, how does it effect the tip?

    I've tried MW layered tips and found them to hard, and i also can't seem to find a good blue diamond.

    Any advice people? i just need a tip i can feel comfortable with?

    thanks in advance,

    Dan

    if you want to harden an already adhered tip, the best thing to try, from my experience, is to put a tip clamp on it for a while. very tightly.

    better off with a harder tip to start with mind.....as all types of tricks to harden tips (like using pliers beforehand) wont make the hardness 100% uniform IMHO
