High or Low Tip Meaty or Wafer

[denja]

Watching the pros noticed there is a big difference in tip height it can range from a very meaty tip height with a very pronounced burnished side wall to a almost wafer thin tip sort of blending in with no side wall is this just a matter of choice or are there any advantages or disadvantages with different tip heights.

I find that I get more feel with a lower tip, but not too low.
Tried keeping the tip high to make it last longer but lost a lot of feel that way.

I agree.

I tend to cut a 1/3 to 1/2 off my Talisman soft as I don't get anywhere near the same feel (or sound) from it.

It does mean it doesn't last as long but it's not about economy when it doesn't feel right!

I also cut a bit off my tips, around 1/4 of it at least

I did hear once that someone buys flat tips rather than domed and cuts them in half so they get 2 tips for the price of one and they're at the perfect height!

I have done that plenty of times, especially with a very small tip, it just looks so strange when the tip is really chunky

Yes, I wish i could keep it high but it just doesn't work for me.
I even tried cutting an ADR tip in half to try get 2 tips but it just didn't feel the same.

I use Phoenix mediums and leave them the height they come . They seem to play the same high or low for me so I leave em high and they work fine till they die

The ADR's are a big tip as well, out of all the tips I have seen that's about the only one that you could easily cut in half and have a tip plenty big enough.

I believe that with a chunky tip my timing just is all wrong, I guess I'm hitting the ball a couple of mm before I would with a thinner tip, which I usually do use. Might be a load of rubbish but I definitely don't play as good with a chunky tip

Do you have to be carefull and not cut across the layers on a laminated tip? Or doesn't it matter.

I tried to cut an ADR tip in two thinking I'd get two tips for the price of one, made an arse of it and got no tips for the price of one.

Been there but you still made me laugh!

I always try and cut across the layers between one individual layer (carefully), and then sand straight. Others may do it different.

If you have small amounts of a layer left it can come out later, Talisman used to do it to me until I knew how much of a layer to sand off and how much to leave.
