    Is there a way of differentiating between the ADR's soft, and medium tip ? Maybe you got a soft one.

          Sorry, just realised the soft has an S on it ( they were facing down in the bag ).

            My one went harder after about 15 frames or something. Dont know wich one it was. I think it was from the first order available.

              some people should not be allowed out un supervised! tips will go harder as they compress unless you compress them first - same as with all tips.

                In my defence, I hadn't taken these ones out the bag yet ( previous ones were medium ), and the ADR side was facing up in the bag.

                  What are the pros and cons of softer tips?

                    In general softer tips give more grip/spin and are more forgiving(less chance of miscuing) in amongst the balls but can lack feel and dull down power shots as they cushion the shot instead of transferring the power, so over distance it can be harder to generate spin but easier when close. Soft tips also mushroom easier but also hold chalk better.

                      Do soft tips need more accurate cueing? If they produce more grip and you hit slightly off centre will they throw the white more?

                        If a tip hardens up after a few days or few months of play, I feel that's not good.

                          well they will all harden a bit but after initial compression they are designed to stay the same.

                            Yeah. I had bad impressions of Kamuis hardening on me a little too much. Will try your tip 1 day.

                                all tips will
                                1) harden after prolong use.
                                2) mushroom. No tips out there is exempted.
                                3) retain less chalk after prolong use; just differences in efficiency

                                plenty of reasons for a tip to come off your ferrule
                                1) glue. it could be poor to start with, or it has been oxidized and its ability to bind, largely reduced.
                                2) before you glue the tip on the ferrule, sand the tip base, in circular motion, with the sandpaper on the floor. the objective is not to reduce the height of the tip but to make it nice and flat.
                                and make sure the ferrule end is nice and flat as well.
                                place the tip on top of the ferrule and with your index finger on top of the tip, rock it about to see if it moves.
                                3) the harder the tip, the easier it is to come off if you are not careful with (1) and (2).

                                having said that, adr tips are very nice.
