Hi does anyone know what makers brand the old style blue diamond tips was that was played 20 years ago from most pros? regards

The Brunswick Blue Diamond tips have been around since at least the 60s.

I heard they changed in quality and play different. Thats why I ask. Blue Diamond Tips also were produced by BCE or Buffalo and I think Powerglide. regards

Would be nice If anyone could tell me how the old package box was looking. regards

Buffalo Diamond Plus are made by Tweeten

Not heard of BCE or Powerglide making "Blue Diamond" tips, sure they would have sold them, but made them,? not sure of that.

Brunswick Blue Diamond tips have always had variable quality, just like people talking about Elkmaster tip (1 in 5 a good one etc )

I think the oldest box was the "Brown" old style text, then came a white with orange text box (c1986), but then the Brown one came back into use til recent.

There is a white with blue text version which I think is the latest version.

Hope ADR will pop on to confirm

As to whether they are really left over stock from 80-90s, had to say. Ask the vendor what they know about their stock.
