Surely any rubber structure would create a partial bounce effect of the cue ball when it leaves the tip... I think one would be surprised at the poundage of pressure a cue ball takes on a power shot. The balls jump now as it is...

Still got two left...any offers ...lol.

Sorry to hear that bud. Ocht well, at least you gave it a shot, so good on you for being open minded. I guess we can now safely say that this bird ain't gonna fly. Or at least not fly in a straight line.
