TS Long Ba tips

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

Anyone using these? I've just put one on my cue but had a hard time trimming - after a few turns with the old trusty giant pencil sharpener, it's turned into a marshmallow - did i select a bad one or are they all like this? Or do they need to be trimmed differently? Or pressed first?

I use them and sounds like you've had a bad one.

I like them so much, I put them on all my new cues, knowing there is a good tip on the cue to start with..

I've almost finished a box of 50, this is also putting tips on for others and not had a bad one yet.
So very surprised with that.
I trim them the same way but also use a knife to get most of the tip off.

Thanks. I've used an elk now but will try again when I'm bored of that.
