Since moving to the states last year and now getting ready to have a go at some 9ball tours in the NE ie Boston,New England,I`m wanting to put a better tip on my Predator break cue,any ideas please,and yes I`m still using the 2 predator cues I bought from Si nearly 2 years ago and sorry Si I haven`t found any rare cues for you yet,I`ve found some very strong players near were I live,a guy called Mike Keith and Ty who both play on the Joss NE tour,lots of people want to gamble at One pocket,a game I think more people in the UK should explore,improves banking and kicking and angles.Also went to watch the challenge of champions at the Mogehan Sun Casio,my friend lost $20 to Alex Leyly backing Hohmann to win,Archer won,also talking to Alex and hes herd and as big respect for the likes of Darren Appleton,Mike Hill etc,come on the Yorkshire lads

Hi Richard
Glad to hear you are doing good.
With the break tips, two come to mind. Water Buffalo and the Moori Power Tip. You can't go wrong with either.
Si

Si, do you know anything about cuetec vortex break tips? The tip on my vortex break/jump cue is chipped and is threatening to come off the ferrule with every break I make.
Are these special tips, or will any break tip do?
Cheers pal.

Don't know anything about them pal, sorry. I do know there are no complaints with the Moori Power and Water Buffalo tips from the IPT boys. Class tips and makes it easier to jump too (full cue jumps on the IPT). You could just fit one to your cuetec. I will be in Sterling soon if you are around.
