Once the coating was removed, the tips proved to be softer, however there was still a wide variance from tip to tip. Please note that this chart is not meant to be authoritative.

Posted by : Mike Feiman When you look at the number of pool cue tips there are available today, it can be extremely overwhelming.
The methodology we use for testing tip density is as follows: Use a standard Shore A Durometer hardness scale 1Kg 2. This is important for all cue tips. Read more about our advice on how to maintain tips here! As you can tell, there is a lot of information regarding the different characteristics of what makes a great pool cue tip.
What you are probably thinking now is, which tip is the best? Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut answer. It is firstly important to note the game you are playing for size, before considering hardness.
We recommend building your pool skill with a good-quality soft or medium cue tip. As your practice and skill increases, as well as experimentation with different tips, you will notice the minor differences and find a cue tip which fits you best.

Tip Hardness Your typical English and Snooker Pool games generally utilise soft or sometimes medium tips. What are layered tips? Why are there such major price differences? Cue tips , Elkmaster , Kamui. Among the wide range of tips tested in the video , the harder tips did result in slightly more squirt. A comparison of the hardnesses of tips of various brands can be found on the cue tip hardness chart resource page. The force that produces the speed and the force that produces the spin are the same force, and at a given offset any additional force increases the two in the same ratio.
There are shots designed to test the maximum spin-to-speed ratio, where you can get an actual top player trying to get maximum action using different tips—basically a slightly-off-angle draw shot where you are trying to hit a rail as far back as possible.
I and others have done these empirical experiments, and the results have been consistent and agree with the expectations from the physical description. If the bald regions are small, then this standard may be violated more frequently for a hard tip with its small contact patch. One issue is which harness of tip will allow the farther-from-center hit. Some believe that a soft tip takes chalk better so it can hit the ball farther from center. There is a counter theory, and that is because a softer tip will have a longer contact time than a hard tip.
During contact, the tip rides around the side of the ball some, so the final eccentricity as the tip leaves the ball is larger than when the tip first hits the ball. A softer tip, with the longer contact time will be farther off center at the end than a harder tip with the same starting offset. If both tips can only hold to a certain point of offset, and you start your shot so the miscue point is barely reached at the end of contact, the average offset will be larger for the harder tip.
This means that the harder tip can create more spin for a given ball speed.
