🗻 Phenolic Tip Vs Leather Tip

The speed differences may be minor but they all require an adjustment to stroke to accomplish the same amount of follow, draw or english for a given stroke speed. A good example showing the difference in speed is the use of the extra hard phenolic tip used to obtain more cue ball speed than a leather tip can when breaking.

I am currently using a pressed water buffalo tip and would love to change to a harder tip that is leather as well. I am in dilemma as to choosing between Odega or Samsara. Have one on my Gilbert jump/break and just recently compared it to a phenolic tipped breaker and a g10 tipped jump and the Samsara held its own but takes chalk better

The whole point of having a phenolic tip is that it doesn't deform or mushroom like leather tips under hard breaking. I haven't touched my breaking shaft since buying it from Mike Gulyassy. You're free to modify to suit your taste, but I figure Mr Gulyassy may know a thing or two about tips.

Same as the rest from the West Coast! Those that have the NG01 or NG02 really love them. A lot of us started with phenolic tips on various break cues, but when we heard about the "STINGER" tips (phenolic), a lot were purchased. About the same time, we were trying the SAMSARA leather break tips. Remarkably hard!!

only if you are playing in a BCAPL national event that requires you to not use phenolic. on my bk2, I started with phenolic, then went to samsara jump break which was almost identical in hardness, and now I have a kamui black medium on there. technique and timing will make more of a difference than tip hardness in my opinion.

^{Love this as a break tip. Its not the most powerful but its the best overall break tip even vs phenolic tips. Its downfall is jump shots. After over 100 shots with this tip I wouldn't recommend it for a jump cue because it takes a lot more speed to get the cue ball airborne.}

I will only look at Leather tips and Phenolic tips as these are the main types of tips. Leather tips are made from different types of skin with japanize pigskin being considered some of the best types of leather to use for making cue tips. There are two types of leather cue tips: Solid leather cue tip; Layered laminated cue tip; As the name

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.

It "tinks" when you hit with it. It sounds like a CF break shaft with a phenolic tip (like playing with my BK Rush) even though it has a quality leather tip (Ultraskin medium). So, I'm back to the Cuetec Cynergy and, happy with it. If Predator comes out with a Revo with a pro taper and a smaller than 13mm tip, that may be a game changer for me.

Tonight i sold off my break cue, and I'm going to put a water buffalo tip on one of my Espiritu shafts, and use that cue for breaking. Now is there going AzBilliards Forums The A to Z of Billiards Online switching from Phenolic to Water Buffalo. Thread starter StormHotRod300; Start date Sep 24, 2006; StormHotRod300 BigSexy.

I am sure this has been done before but lets do an updated version. Personally I don't care for Phenolic or leather that has been impregnated with something making it hard like phenolic. I hate the sound of the hit (TINK) you get from those

Phenolic tips can put little smiley face cracks all over a cue ball, so I'm no longer looking at break cues with phenolic tips--rather I'm looking at break cues with hard leather tips, like a Samsara J/B tip. You might want to throw the Billiard Warehouse J/B cue into the mix ($159):

^{Translation: the harder the tip, the faster the cue ball break. A phenolic resin tip is a good choice, but there are a few manufacturers that make good leather tips that are VERY hard. With a leather tip, you'll get more control; if your break is a little erratic and you hit off-center, you have less chance of miscuing.}

Personally I prefer something in between a hard leather and the polymer tips. Phenolic can be okay but most I've used felt like glass, I find the phenolic that when you shape up the curve of the tip looks like there's layers like a pressed leather tip, tend to have the best bite/grip which I haven't seen too many like that.

Silver Member. Oct 5, 2008. #11. I use a 1 inch wide angled wood skew with a slight wire edge and pivot it around to shape the tip. I've shaped normal tips this way for many years. It cuts like butter and takes no more than 5 seconds or so. 6 custom tips with hardness ranging from Very Soft (VS) to Hard (H). but every leather tip ever made outside an extremely hard phenolic tip with make the cue "hit" "softer" than nothing at all. If you don't know the way multi layer tips remove all of the beautiful things of the hit of a cue compared to a leather tip then I recommend you

From the studio of Joseph Picone the, "Picone White Diamond" tip is one of the real secrets for a top performing jump cue or break cue. Picone White Diamond tips are a multi-layered tip. Made from a specially selected fiber, they go through an 11 step process before becoming a finished tip. Each tip is inspected before packaging to the insure

- Face the ferrule COMPLETELY flat. I cannot stress this enough. It always matters with a tip install, but more so with a break tip because a break tip will not compress around a slightly domed ferrule, like a softer playing leather tip will when pressure is applied during the setting of the glue. - Lightly score the tip and ferrule.
