Hercules Tips

[parrothead]

Are the hercules 23 layer tips that you guys sell domed, or are they flat on both sides?

[Sid]

how about this for being confusing,

The mediums are flat,
The medium Hards are domed
The hards are flat.

Just the way they send them to us.

They are a nice playing tip. I put a medium Hercules on one of my cues and it played very nicely. I would almost compare them to Moori, but not quite.

johnny archer uses a hercules tip on his cues.

not trying to rubbish them (Hercs 23 layer) but I recently purchased 4 of these off Ebay (medium , flat) . I normally use talisman soft but thought I would just try these for testing . The first thing after I glued the tip on but before any trimming the tip felt "spongy" , a little like the layers were seperating and looked that way ever so slightly . I tried it anyway for playing and although it was near impossible to miscue the hit was way too soft for me , way softer than the talisman pro soft that I use normally . Anyway , I tried a second one and it was exactly the same . I'm not sure if this is how they normally are or if I just purchased old or bad stock . The Hercs apparently used to be made by Talisman (not sure about the 23 layer herc though ) and some of the very early talisman tips I used delaminated (maybe coincidence , maybe not) . I'm currently back on the talismans and loving em . I fit moori's to a friends cue for him but they still seem to mushroom a little and "go off" after a while while the talismans do not mushroom at all and I haven't seen one "go off" either .

Could the tip you got from ebay have been counterfeit?
