Century Pro Cue Tip

Product Information

We liked the responsiveness of a G5. Definitely has a bite to it when it comes to generating spin.

The only item you will need to keep your tip in top shape and condition is a fine 1-inch wide metal file. The Century Cues, Tip Shaper. This is by far the best tip shaper I have ever used. It’s very well constructed, easy to use and works the tip perfectly.

When you last bought a new snooker cue, there’s a decent chance the tip on it was an Elk Master. Well-known in the game, many cue makers choose to add Elk Master (or just ‘Elks’ as they’re often referred to) tips to their cues.The leather tanning technique provides increased durability and elasticity, though this can deteriorate in humid environments. Overall though, Kamui snooker cue tips are very good, if a little on the expensive side. Is 8mm tip too small for snooker? Following an extensive two-year period of research and development, Century Pro are proud to announce the launch of their latest innovative product: Century Pro Chalk. While still relatively expensive tips, they tend to be lower cost than Century Pros and come in differing hardness grades. That’s because they have two big things going for them. Firstly, they are very good quality, the kind of level that suit all players (even Ronnie O’Sullivan has said he uses Elk Master tips!).

The Century Pro G2 cue tip is a 10mm single layer tip made from grade A+ leather. Century Pro has apparently utilized a unique manufacturing process in the production of these tips. Each tip is said to be scientifically tested to guarantee its consistency within just +/-5% tolerance. That’s impressive on paper but let’s move on to what really matters: the human element.

Essentially, a smaller tip makes it easier to add spin to the cue ball but, as a consequence, also makes it easier to add unwanted side to the ball. Rhys here from Cue News, and I opted to test out the Century Pro G2 cue tip as it is the midway point between hard and soft. It would be the ideal starting point from which I could gauge the quality of the tips in general and a recommended starting point for beginners who have not yet cemented a playing style. SpecificationsThe downside is that, when exposed to high moisture environments, the tips will deteriorate faster. These new tips are the world’s first hand graded custom snooker cue tip.
