Pool stick what is the best tip?

Answer 1

The best tip depends upon the player skill and type of play.

If the tip is 14mm there is no reason to go softer than a medium tip. Using a soft tip for additional cue ball control should be limited to a tip of 13mm or smaller.

A hard tip must be used for a break cue, but will take away from control for normal play. A hard tip is often used on house cues simply so it lasts longer.

The brand of cue tip becomes a preference based on play that is a result of many thousands of hours of playing pool. The brand is unimportant to the average player - the hardness, curvature, and condition are important.
