I believe that the synthetic tips do outperform the leather tips on break cues as far as breaking the rack open and pocketing balls. My average number of balls jumped up after I switched to phenolic. It is harder for me to control the cue ball on the break with the phenolic tip or at least it was in the beginning. Phenolic tips miscue more often than leather. That is just common sense imo. If a shiny leather miscues, how much more a phenolic tip? rackem SUPPORT CLUB MEMBERSHIP. Silver Member.

Leather has been used in tips for decades, but in the last couple of years, we have seen non-organic hard plastic tips like phenolic also catching up. Even leather has different types, and based on these types, hard soft and medium tips are The problem with trying to find a non-leather, synthetic, english-friendly tip is that most of the materials you come across (Rubber and its like) are going to be too soft, unreliable, unable to be turned down, difficult to control, so on, so on. If you look up chalkless cue tips you'll find some of what you're looking for, but if you're doing 2. BOING - This is the latest jump cue tip. We take a solid leather tip and hollow out the middle. We insert a spring (tension defined by customer) and fill the tip up with the residue we created. This bad boy can bounce a ball. In a pinch, one can also use this as a pogo stick to get out of a bad situation. 3. Grabby - The first Masse tip ever Feb 25, 2023. #932. Here's a Dr.Dave-like test that might give some support for the soft-tip-believers. It puts speed and draw in competition. If a soft tip can get more grip, it should perform better on this test than the phenolic tip, and in my testing it does. The cue ball and object ball are always one diamond apart. The best quality for this price range and from what I've felt better than a lot of more expensive cues out ther. The only problem I had was that the description says that it comes with a leather tip but it came with a phenolic tip. Now I'm not sure about phenolic yet( I dont have any experience with it). At this point I think I really don't like the phenolic tip that it comes with. My friend has a cheap break stick I put a samsara tip on and I can crush the rack with it. The feedback is what I like on it for a non-leather tip. The Taom has a similar feel to me, but that gradual coning, especially with 9-ball breaks involving a trailing I have been using the linen and canvas phenolic 1/4" tips for customers, but realize that most newer players are buying the cheaper import cues and tend to miscue with their "powerful" stroke and have had a few tips come back because they popped off with a miscue. For the past 6 months I've only used canvas phenolic ferrule/tip combos! Phenolic beats leather just like rock beats scissors. Soft vs Hard in leather means very little.. I have been testing tips recently and hardness has less effect on english than the type of leather chosen If you use leather more english comes from the leather type with the most resilience or COR.. Best to worst I really don't notice a difference between them unless its a phenolic tip (which loctite seems to work better). To help get your tip centered back on, wrap a bit of blue painters tape around the ferrule with about the thickness of the tip sticking up off the edge to help form a guide for the tip to go back onto the cue perfectly centered. When you look at the number of pool cue tips there are available today, it can be extremely overwhelming. That's why we've created the ultimate pool cue tip guide. Using a digital durometer, we're going through the process of determining the tip density for every pool cue tip we carry. The regular LE Phenolic Tip that most of your players have; Black, Dark Brown, and Carmel colored ones do not damage anything unless you are digging it into the table everytime you break. Here are some test results from a cue maker on the G10 and LE Phenolics; Legnthwise compressive strength G-10 phenolic(55,000psi) vs. LE phenolic(15,000psi) You should be aware that non-leather tips are banned in some leagues. So you may want to check on that before you commit to phenolic. If there's no restriction, phenolic is the way to go. From what I know the samsara tip is a phenolic-leather hybrid, does that make the jump harder than using a conventional phenolic tip .
