TIP USED BY DIFFERENT PLAYERS..

Snooker Tip Shapes-WHAT DO THE PRO'S USE...

Well we'll all have been changing snooker tips for many years now and people are still trying to find

that perfect shape and get the edge on the opposition.is there a perfect shape?Below are different

shapes of tip ...

1.SNOOKER TIP -DOMED

Very common tip and has a nice large dome on the top of the tip.

2.SNOOKER TIP -MUSHROOM FLAT

This is just a tip that is a size up from the ferrule diameter and fitted in the usual way.

3.SNOOKER TIP -CONED MUSHROOM

This is an over-sized tip with the sides sliced diagonally to meet the ferrule diameter.

4.SNOOKER TIP -FLAT

This also a very common tip where the edges are sanded off but the top surface is pretty much flat.



Below you can see different players of WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP  are using different tips shape..


BARRY HAWKINS SNOOKER CUE TIP :

We are not so sure on the coned mushroom tip as it's certainly way out there but it looks plenty of feel.Barry's tip does look nice though and probably not too old...

DING JUNHUI SNOOKER CUE TIP :

Well this is more of a conventional snooker tip,it's got slight dome at the top and it's not to high so another nice tip.

ALI CARTER SNOOKER CUE TIP :

Well this one looks a bit of a cross between a mushroom and a domed tip,either way,this doesn't look too old ...

MARTIN GOULD SNOOKER CUE TIP :

This looks more of a conventional tip,very close to the standard flat tip.

RONNIE O' SULLIVAN SNOOKER CUE TIP 1 :

Looking at the bottom edge of the tip 'Ronnie uses the doomed tip.it looks quite high off the ferrule.

RONNIE O' SULLIVAN SNOOKER CUE TIP 2 :

Well ronnie seems to have a different size cue tip and also the shape is now a little more standard and domed.The height is certainly a lot less and there is slight coned where the tip is larger than the ferrule.

MARK KING SNOOKER CUE TIP -EARLY 2016 :

Now there's a mushroom tip without any depth to the ferrule.this is certainly an unusual one.

MARK KING SNOOKER CUE TIP-LATE 2016 :

As we can see here,mark king's snooker tip shape  did not change from the pre-2016 world championship to when he won the 2016 northern ireland open.

ANTHONY McGILL SNOOKER CUE TIP :

Again,this is more of a conventional flat tip.a reasonable amount of depth with very little dome on the surface.sits nice on the cushion.

MARK SELBY SNOOKER CUE TIP :

Well this is a nice big tip that is very domed.it almost looks like a slight mushroom.
