Snooker Cue Tips Mark Williams Legend Tips Review

[@neilmcdonald8011]

These Mark williams tips,for me have been an absolute game changer.I feel theres much less throw on the white and in turn makes me feel that im cueing much straighter.Added bonus was there was literally no bedding in time.Probably all in the head but whatever works!

[@madaboutsnooker147]

the one thing he and you are trading away for the added accuracy though, is a bit less touch and feel, if you get out of position. Mark can get away with it because hes such a prolific ballstriker. I can honestly say that the softer the tip, the more feel, But the more throw too. So it depends on how far you wanna take the accuracy as there's a tradeoff. I just think the new one he used in the last tournament, audibly sounded like a horrorshow. Click!!! even on slowpoke shots. i reckon I will try the hardness 2 or 3 at one point. but 6... no. :D

[@Alex.The.Lionnnnn]

I'm pretty much welded on to Kamui tips these days. Discovered them while playing American pool, then found out that they also make them in 10/11mm as well. Gave one a go, and it's night and day the difference between the Kamui and something like an Elk. I'm sure there are plenty of other great laminated tips out there, but I can't really imagine a tip being much better than a Kamui. I play Kamui black soft on my predator cue, and a kamui black medium on my snooker cue. Perfect for my game.

[@Breakfromlife]

@@Alex.The.Lionnnnn I’ll have to give them a try at some point. I probably just pick the wrong one when I had to go a few years ago.

[@motorcitycobra2009]

I use the same tip for English pool and snooker, as if it’s good enough for Chris Melling! They are also really easy to shape, I can change a tip in about 20 minutes all in

[@writetosrj]

To be fair, Chris Melling can clear up with a broom handle with some blue tack stuck to the end 😂 I do love my Kamui tips though. Holds the chalk well, and is a bit forgiving of unwanted side compared to others I've had on

[@motorcitycobra2009]

i dont like kamui for snooker as i use a lot of spin and they seem to deform and split. been using century pro x tips for a while now

[@Ubacoda]

I have been watching your channel for ages. More product review please!! Awesome. Nice 104. Nice trick shot at the end :)

[@thepagan5432]

Loved the final black pocket. I replaced my tip at least twice and bedding in seemed to take ages. An old guy at the club I used told me to bounce the cue on the floor, tip first obviously. Not sure if it did speed things up but it seemed good advice. Good post, thanks 👍

[@Breakfromlife]

Yeah I think you have to do something to speed up the process

[@damianleah6744]

I’ve not played in 20 years plus. But I always from being a kid put my own tip on. It’s relatively easy , rather than just getting someone else to do it.

[@hazreeqworks6008]

Love your channel from MALAYSIA!!!

[@Neil_Gibson]

Have you considered using a tip compressor? It’s a type of clamp that presses the tip before attaching it. Could this potentially speed up the bedding-in process? Neil from Vancouver, Canada

[@CaseyChaos1984]

Bison super glue gel is great for retipping and if you sand down the bottom of the tip until it changes colour you remove that slicker surface.

do you rough up or prime tip before sticking on?

[@matthewwoodward2738]

Do you use a layered tip or a pressed tip mate? I can't get on with layered as find then rock hard. I use mike Wooldridge super tips. Cheers

[@acc4464]

That last black was either a worldie of a trick shot or some very good editing 😂

[@Gbonejohn1974]

what ferrule size is your cue ? it looks really thick like 10mm plus on the POV shots

[@renegadechic]

I notice you dont seem to slim down the tip to the size of your ferrule and have quite a bit of overhang. Do you find this causes you more problems with tip failure?

[@Breakfromlife]

Quite possibly although this is only fractional on this current tip

[@renegadechic]

@Breakfromlife okay! I am still getting used to it and I probably have an issue one out of ever 3 replacements where I need to do it again. Depends on the tip though. I did a cuesoul one and had to whittle back so much it was hard to actually get it into the right final shape. Ended up going back to a Mike Wooldridge super tip

[@DM-kv9kj]

@@Breakfromlife I've always just made them flush, both for aesthetic preference and I just buy the exact diameter 9.5mm as my ferrule and got used to fitting them on accurately. Just makes it way less hassle, no trimming and such. But I have sometimes wondered if a little overhang on the tip might actually help add a fraction more grip on the edge to avoid miscuing. You could even try a video experiment for that. Just play a ton of extreme top spin shots from tight against a cushion, and a ton of extreme screwbacks with a flush tip and an overhanging tip. I wonder if it could possibly cut down on miscues?

[@joelmarriott9015]

​@@DM-kv9kj personally, I think it cuts down on miscues with backspin, off the cushion about the same, cueing over balls can be more awkward and prone to fouls though.

[@Mojotasticification]

How does this tip compare to the cuesoul tips you've been using before?

[@yorkshireladtakes3726]

Please start doing more tip reviews and what tips ro what etc.... I'm quite decent at snooker but recently I switched tips to a Century G3 and I'm unsure about it. I'm not getting the desired reaction I normally get. You could make so much content on tips alone :) Love the channel btw your amazing lovely guy I can tell

I have a 9mm cue and want to change the tip for something a little bigger 9.5 or 10. Its been on easily 20 years. What was going on with the over hang on the edge?

[@StefanDLazarov]

Thats too much m8. U can go for 9.2 mm with overhanging but to jump to 9.5 is too much.

[@tomasbergdal2556]

Deflection differences is more likely due to the test cues having different end mass and stiffness

Good advice. Too much air won't help with anything.

G2 medium tips are the best ones out there

[@osdfjkga9835]

Pls make a video reviewing talisman and kamui tips ❤❤

[@Breakfromlife]

I’ve tried Talisman before. Actually really like them until the would split unexpectedly almost every time and I have been looking for a tip that felt like that but didn’t split ever since

[@sicdoctor]

​@@Breakfromlifewere you using a soft or medium? I have played with all grades but find the hard suits me better. I then changed to kamui, also played with all and hard was my preferred. If you hit the ball soft, a soft or medium tip is fine. If you hit a bit more firmer, you need hard or super hard. That's from my experience anyway. I think mark williams uses a hard kamui too, or even maybe super, which doesn't give as much unwanted side on those fine cloths.

[@osdfjkga9835]

I wanted to know how cue ball reacts with talisman tips because I heard people saying It has great reaction​@@Breakfromlife

Morning..

[@autopilot99]

how can u compare tips on different cues? deflections depends on various factors: shaft stiffness tip size taper of cue hardness of tip ferrule material useless info unfortunately

[@weejim48]

I have been playing snooker for 53 years only as an occasional player ( although I did play for a pub team back in my 20’ ). It’s funny how we just used to get by with whatever cue was in the rack but everyone seems to have their own cue and other equipment these days. I’ve never even considered which brand of tip was on the cue. All I knew that Riley was supplier of tables , balls and cues. 🤣🤣🤣👍very informative video 👍

I use a g5, lasted nearly a year so far.compared to others which I had to change after 6 months

[@mikebest634]

Problem with Elkmaster is that you have to plough through quite a few tips in the box to find one decent one ,better quality tips cost more but are more consistent,I use a century g3 now ,plays in instantly.Going to a very excessively hard tip will take away screw power to some extent ,that suits Williams but most pros don’t use anything anywhere near as hard .As for less deflection the hard tip will help as will a titanium ferule and a stiff cue .

[@simonbriggs6332]

I find that new bags of elk master tips are much more consistent these days. It’s like Tweeten have standardised there manufacture process for the tip. When you open the bag they all look identical and tend to be medium to firm now - which is good if you like firmer tips but if you like soft tips your struggling. A couple of years ago when they came in boxes you could have a tip that was soo soft you could almost pull it apart once you’d glued it to your cue right up to medium firm tips - it was a bit like pot luck
