just have something that feels comfortable so your mind is off the equipment when shooting.
I understand what everyone is saying about the tip being personal preference, but I really have no idea if I would be suited to a softer tip or not, I've only ever really played snooker, not sure what kind of tip that would be, it was just the well known make you would get in any snooker club.
Where I am there is no where that sells cues or shafts to try out different tips etc.... so I am ordering from the states, but I think I will go with what suit said because I also use English(side) on nearly every shot I play.
I'm not the kind of person who will swap and change everything, I think I can use any cue given enough time to practice, but getting the length and maybe a better feel on impact is probably something which would benefit me.
