Tiger Laminated Tip 14mm


Tiger Laminated Cue Tips are laminated with the VACULAM?process and made out of eleven layers of either pig skin or cowhide, depending on hardness. Tiger Laminated Cue Tips give players excellent playability and control. Our soft Tiger tips are made out of white cowhide and give the player all the benefits of a soft tip without mushrooming. Both our medium and hard Tiger tips are dark brown in color and are made with two different types of treated pig skin. By using the natural character of the leather we achieve better consistency and maximum hardness control. Using the exclusive VACU-LAM manufacturing process, you can be assured total lamination with no air pockets. Each tip is then checked with a durometer for its exact hardness. Laminated tips last longer and virtually eliminate mushrooming. Face it, the tip is the business-end of a pool cue, and the best way to improve cue performance is to improve the tip. Tiger Laminated Cue Tips: play with one and IMPROVE YOUR GAME. It cost $9.95 each tip!!

Sterling Blue Billiard Glove

The glove fully covers your thumb, index finger, and middle finger. It slips on, and is highly elastic, ensuring a good fit. It is available in a variety of colors, and one size fits all. Left-handed? No problem! This glove is reversible.

The "Banned" Break Cue



We hear it over and over again. Pool players always want to know how to get a stronger break. They want more power and more action. If you can handle it, the answer for you may just be the new Elite "Heavy" Break Cue. This new breaker generates power through its massive weight. Rather than weighing just 20oz or 21oz, the Heavy weighs in at approximately 27oz, making it one of the heaviest breakers on the market. The weight is only part of the story. The cue also features a phenolic tip and ferrule giving it more power than a standard leather tip. The wood pin is actually built into the shaft, giving the Heavy not only superior power but also unprecedented feel for a break cue. It should be noted that this cue is not for everyone. Some leagues have banned this break cue, as it exceed their maximum weight restrictions. Also, keep in mind that if your ball comes off the table, it is a foul so you will need to have control to go along with the power of your break.
