My experience with Tallisman Cue Tips

by snooks on Jan.12, 2009, under Reviews

talismantipI’ve been using Tallisman cue tips for around 2 years now.  I’ve found that I get a much better contact with the tip now, improving accuracy and consistency.

The tip itself which I use is a ’soft’ tip.  I use the soft tip as I personally feel it reacts better.  It’s all personal taste though.  I now feel that I get the consistent hit which I have sought after.

Talisman Billiards is owned by Tony Jones.  He has clearly done his research when manufacturing a pool cue tip.  Tony also sells other billiards accessories.

I play pool but does anyone ever use these on a snooker cue or carom cue?  What are your views?
