Wes Bond, Vice President at Cue & Case Sales (Pure X & Lucasi Cues) called AZB the other day with some exciting news. Wes has his hands in developing new products for C&C and he gets a lot of input on these products from players around the globe. One product that he found had great potential but with inherent problems were layered tips. Players love them when they first install them but then run into problems that can involve hardening over time, a failure to properly hold chalk, and the problems created by the glue layers as glue does not have the same physical properties of leather and the glues can stiffen over time leaving one vulnerable to miscues.
