  • Blue Diamond tip authencity?

    Just seeing if anybody has bought or used the brunswick blue diamond tip lately, as i have just recived a box and every tip seems to have lines going across the side walls? Like a laminated tip? Not seen this before so just wondering might be fake? Or just the way theyre made nowdays? Any thoughts?

        Blue Diamond tip authencity?

        Hello Ramon mate, i ended up going against my doubts and re-tipped with one and felt right straight away. Just seemed to look abit different from what ive seen in the past. I use elks usualy but after geting peed off with them everynow and again i turn to bd. Tbh i dont know why so many people hate them so much? I think theyre actualy not a bad tip, similar to a elk but just more firm and better sometimes. Of course all imo..

          Yeah , I know what ur talking about !! If I need Sumthing , I send a mail to Andrew ( ADR ). Cus I know I get the real stuff !! Elks are good enough !! if you're lucky to find the good ones !!! once used B Diamond Plus ?? imo, they are much better compared to BD !!! My uncle is a cue collector !! I'm going to ask him ,, he might have a few B Diamond from old times !! (If you're intrested , of crs ) !! He has all kind of stuff from 80's !! The only problem is , he does'nt give it a way to anyone and he does'nt use it either ( crazy old guy ) !!
          But we can always give it a try and ask him !! Gonna send him a mail and let u know about it !!

            Yes yes thats sounds all to good to me lol. never thought what a old bd from the 80's would be like before but you got me thinking now.. Bd plus's i have used on and off in the past but tbh didnt realy find them to my liking. Dont get me wrong , nice but just not quite my type except for 1 which was great , but only towards the end of its life span which then needed replacing soon after..

                I've found that the 11mm elks are generally firmer and more consistent through a box

                  I will vouch for the MW super tips. I was a big fan of his older design but the newer darker green ones are still very very good as well.

                      I have a pack of nineties blue diamond tips (unfortunately they're all 9mm), and they are good. I got a set of the diamond plus tips for my bigger tips, and they're very similar beasts (although possibly a bit harder and more consistent). I like them.

                        Nah id need a 10mm mate, but thanks anyway. Bd plus's have been tried by myself before and although nice i think naaaah not the one for me.. At the moment though hanging in there with phoenix black laminated and the brunswick. Has to be said out of the laminates i have tried these are good.

                            I think thats what MW wanted to achieve, more consistency, definitely worth the extra money as I find they also last a lot longer than a good Elk, hold good shape as well.
