help me out

Answer 1

Johnson & Johnson I get a box of 200 for $1.89 At wal-Mart

Answer 2

I had my turn in the barrel with Le Pro

Just started with a Sniper world of diffrence

Price ?? well

I play i rack for enough to buy 3 boxe's so you tell me

Answer 3

Elk skin is an excellent tip.  Durable, shapeable and holds a contour well.

Answer 4

For the price , LePro by far. I like and use Triumph on several cues and my Shicks have Bill's own make of water buffalo tip.

I personally do not care for a layered tip.

Answer 5

I use Tiger Snipers like Johnny said, but they're on the expensive end.  I've used Triangle's in the past without much problem and had an old cue with a LePro.  I just bought a new shaft that has a Tiger Everest on it, but I'm still getting used to it, so I can't comment fully on its value.

Answer 6

gotta be the "blue diamond"

Answer 7

A couple cuemakers I know say LePro's are terribly inconsistent. They can be good, but you never know what you're going to get, even in the same box. Many people who use LePro tips will actually press them in a vice to make them harder and play better.

I've had a Hercules (layered) tip on my cue for well over and year, and it's still got plenty of life in it. If that's not a good value, I don't know what is.

I've also heard that Sumo tips are a better choice for one piece tips, but I've never used them personally.
