Concerning cue tips I will post something on this soon but suffice to say that I played in last season's World Championship with a medium Talisman. this tip was fantastic in the build up. Far better than any Blue Diamond or Elk I have ever used. However tow days after the World's finished played an exhibition and the laminates seperated and the top two sheared off! Until they get the glue right they must be considered unreliable. MArk Williams had the same problem but this actually happend in his Match against Stephen Hendry. John Higgins however uses the Hard Buffalo (blacK) ones and thinks they are great.

Interesting reading. A very good point as well.....

so remember:
DON'T always be practicing technique. Otherwise you will forget to play the game itself.
THINK technique in SOLO practice but Think Positional play in NORMAL practice.

Damn, did he move the blog or take it down completely? It's returning a 404 error for me. Hope the articles are archived somewhere, they were gold! Davis is a really clever guy.

[edit]

Ok, it wasn't cached in the Wayback machine, but thankfully Yahoo has a cache of some of the posts (which has now been safely yoinked into a PDF on my hard disc!). It'd be such a shame to lose these musings from one of the all-time great snooker players, and one who actually thinks about the game and its mechanics when away from the table too!

The Yahoo cache link is here, although it will probably eventually vanish. Hope he puts the blog back up, it was a great read.

I've got all his blog posts saved in a word doc if anyone wants them.
