Billiards Innovations Tip
The Role of Billiards Innovations Proprietary Cue Tip in Cue Making
Within the precision-driven world of custom cue craftsmanship, the Billiards Innovations Proprietary Cue Tip represents the perfect balance of feel, durability, and control. Exclusively developed for Billiards Innovations and used on every Obsidian Cue, this tip is engineered to meet the performance expectations of discerning players and professional cue makers alike.
Constructed from imported chrome-tanned leather, this tip is pre-shaped and compression-formed to exacting tolerances, ensuring absolute consistency from one cue to the next. The compression process aligns the leather fibers tightly, reducing porosity while maintaining elasticity—allowing the tip to grip chalk exceptionally well without excessive mushrooming or glazing.
Rated as medium to medium-hard, this proprietary blend delivers the ideal compromise between control and power. Players experience crisp, responsive feedback with every shot, while still benefiting from the nuanced cue ball control that softer tips often provide. The result is a tip that performs predictably under a wide range of playing conditions, offering professional-grade reliability in both finesse and power shots.
For cue makers and players, this tip provides several distinct advantages:
Maintains shape and density over time due to high-pressure compression forming
Provides superior chalk retention for reduced miscues and enhanced spin control
Offers consistent hit feel across the entire surface, even after extensive play
Ensures long-term durability with minimal maintenance or re-shaping
Complements the performance and aesthetic of all Obsidian Cues with a professional finish
Each tip is precision manufactured and hand-selected to meet the standards of Billiards Innovations—ensuring every Obsidian Cue delivers the performance and feedback that define true craftsmanship.
