What's your favourite tip

[ADR147]

Thanks Ramon and ADR147,

I have used Blue Diamonds in the past and some Elks as well. I wanted to try a laminated tip, any suggestions?

ADR147, I know that you speak very highly of the BD+ tips, are they made of Buffalo hide?

yes they are - you can get calf skin laminated tips but there is a reason most are made from pig skin!

Awesome, thank you gentlemen.

Haha appreciate that Ramon, and honestly I have only heard good things about ADR147's tips. Just have a few limitations of my own so for now I think I'll get some BD+ tips from ADR147.

For me guys I have used diamond plus and think they are the best pressed tip out there.
Used Elks for years but never again way too soft and very inconsistent now wouldn't give
them the time of day anymore. Currently using phoenix soft and they are superb fit my game
perfect have tried the mediums but a little too firm for me.

Still confusing watching people preferring laminated tips has the snooker scene gone mad.

Nope, just some laminated tips are very very good

I guess i know the reason why the Pros use Elks and why we find it nightmarish to get a decent one.
The Pros get their tips refitted/selected by some of the best cue makes in the world and they (Cue makers) invest considerable time in selecting the best Elks, BD's, or even Laminated tips for the pros, whereas the normal folks like us have to sift through boxes of Elks or wish that our Laminated Tips do not de-laminate or simply break-off.
