Rubber tips?

[Cue crafty]

Are you on about the same sort of rubbers

You needed a featherlite touch with these ones.

I bought a pack of three once. Couldn't get on with them though.

I actually tried one, orange it was and didn't work at anything above slow pace, which defies the object of the so called increased grip on the cue ball. I also have an artificial leather tip which I haven't tried yet, probably won't bother.

There were rubber tips out years ago ,I remember being in a pub with a pool table that had them ,the idea was about as useful as fitting ejector seats to helicopters

I have a vague recollection of something that was tried some years ago - but not very successful; anyone recall these?

I was just joking Billy .

I know what you mean though , as rubber can be a hard product

I don’t play, but is it that absurd an idea? Surely there’s a rubber composite of some sort that would have the right properties. Might even be the way towards the first chalkless tip.

Have rubber tips ever been experimented with to any extent?
