Century Pro Cue Tip

Product Information

Essentially, a smaller tip makes it easier to add spin to the cue ball but, as a consequence, also makes it easier to add unwanted side to the ball. It has a great feel to it. You almost feel like you’re in total control of the tip and it’s like being in control of a solid steering wheel. As promised, we’ve also played with it using Taom gold soft chalk, and we found out of the three chalks used, Taom is the better chalk for this type of “extra hard” tip. We found there was less need to chalk with the Taom, strangely enough. The Master chalk came second in holding well on the tip.

CC Cue Tips – The Professional Choice. Let’s embrace a new era in cue sports together and explore the possibilities of the future! Given most pros use a tip around 9.5mm to 10mm, an 8mm tip is best reserved for practicing positional play, due to the ease at which you can gain reaction from the cue ball. Which cue tip size is best?These tips, like the Regency, when trimmed, don’t end up in an odd shape, as some tips SnookerZone has tried can end up in an odd shape, but the Elk Pros, the Adr calf-skin tip, and the Regencies keep their shape very well when trimmed down! You’d be surprised at how a tip can go into an odd shape when shaved!

While each player will have their own idea of what is a perfect cue tip to them, generally a rounded shape is better than a flat shape. That’s because the more curvature the tip has, the more spin you’ll be able to impart on the cue ball. We found that with other harder tips, the chalk takes longer for it to grip and it’s the same with the G5. Century Pro Snooker Cue Tips ensure that when you change to one of these tips you get maximum play-ability, consistency or hardness and a great grip on every shot. When you need to change a tip you can relax in with confidence as you just need to choose the same grade again and you get the same characteristics as the last. Made by a company called Tweeten, they are a very good grade leather with reasonable firmness and are easy to glue to the cue. The kit includes sandpaper and glue to help with the retipping process.

With a Stanley knife, carefully remove the old tip. Be careful not to cut into the brass ferrule in any way. There will be some of the old cue tip and glue still on the ferrule, carefully cut this excess away. Using the flat of the blade against the ferrule, rotate the cue around shaving off the excess glue. This will make the ferrule flat. It is vital both the tip and ferrule are perfectly flat before gluing. G4 Century Pro Snooker Cue Tips – Snooker Crazy is please to announce the arrival of Century Pro Snooker Cue Tips to our range of snooker cue tips.

Customers please note: The white layer of the cue tip is to show you that the tip is at the lowest wear point and getting ready to change. The difference between the Elk pro and the Regency pro tips is the feel. The Elks felt a lot “harder” than the Regency, but they did grip the cue ball well and chalking with Taom gold soft was simple enough as they gave a nice even coating of the new chalk. According to the spiel, Elk pros also work well with the traditional Triangle chalk as well. We did an initial test using an old piece of Triangle chalk and found that to be the case. However, SnookerZone’s chalk of choice is Taom gold soft. We employ advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure each layer of the multi-layer cue tip is bonded uniformly and securely. This not only reduces the risk of separation but also provides a consistent striking feel. Approximately 70/80% of players currently on the professional WPBSA snooker tour now use Century Pro Cue Tips!

The Century Cues, Tip Shaper. This is by far the best tip shaper I have ever used. It’s very well constructed, easy to use and works the tip perfectly. The tip shaper comes in its own little pouch, to keep it well protected and prevents any scratches on your cue, while in your case. I have fitted a lot of tips for other players over the past five months and the shaper makes edging and shaping, easy. Plus, it does not show any signs of wear and tear, due to it’s robust construction? Century Cues have produced another quality product. However, we tried and used both Russian Magic chalk and Master chalk and found that Master held on a G5 slightly better than Russian Magic (surprisingly). 2018 World Champion Mark Williams personally requested a G5 to suit his game… These particular tips are of medium-hard firmness which will suit a wide range of people. However, a word of caution is that the soft tips don’t tend to perform as well. If you’re looking for a soft tip, you might want to consider other options.
