Onyx Cue Tips - we have the lowest pricing as low as $16.95 each! These tips receive OK reviews as well. Onyx cue tips are manufactured with similar bore hides as Tiger Sniper Cue Tips. Tiger Products ages the hides with their mysterious secret process which turns the layers of hide black without using a black dye. Supposedly the process is time consuming. While aging the leather, the process also softens the leather so as to produce a medium hardness. These Tiger Onyx Cue Tips are easy to maintain and shape easier during installation and repairs. The manufacturer states that Onyx tips are one of the most consistent tips our there but what else do you expect a manufacturer to say? Tiger Products states that they will produce only a limited number per year but we have never been denied access or supplies. In fact, we have not heard anyone else being shorted any of these tips so we believe this is just Tiger Products hype.

Tiger Products states that this new look for their Onyx tips was requested by the players. We asked around and couldn't find one player who wrote Tiger Products to manufacture this tip with a different color layer. Kind of ridiculous to think the players asked for this change. Tiger Products did it to make their tip look different from all the other black tips on the market. Supposedly the different color layer warns you when the tip needs to be replaced. I don't know about you but I am perfectly capable of deciding when to change my tip and I don't need a manufacturer telling me so they can sell more tips.

If you require the finest glue to ensure a permanent bond that won't pop off then we highly recommend our Cyanoacrylate for tips. It works!

Thus far 36 Attorney Generals are against MAP and we expect this unfair marketing and pricing to be eventually challenged in the courts. Its just a matter of time or until enough consumers get disgusted of these practices.

What the heck is MAP and why should you be concerned? Manufacturers in their quest to be able to sell to the lowest common denominator (the smallest dealer) need to protect their smaller dealers by a sort of price-fixing structure so that they can compete in the marketplace. In-other-words, they should be afforded the same competitive opportunity by buying their one box of tips as us when we place $25k orders. Sounds real fair doesn't it! Basically, manufacturers want to allow as many of these so-called dealers to purchase their products for maximum manufacturer sales and profits with a total disregard to their largest supporters or free competition.

We believe this MAP or price-fixing structure is detrimental to the marketplace and especially the consumer. It creates a false market and does not allow for free competition. We support the manufacturer with our hard earned dollars and a free market allows us to resell that product at any price we see fit. As such, we choose to not participate in any deceptive method of conducting business.

Additionally, this MAP requires all resellers to fix their pricing at full MSRP or a pre-selected and manufacturer approved discounted advertised pricing. In the case of Tiger products, this �approved� discount is 15% off MSRP. Just check around and you'll find that all these items are all priced at the very same pricing by every reseller out there. What are the odds at a free market pricing all these items at the very same pricing! Zero, Zippo, Nada! MAP is not free competition. And, the USA was built on free competition. We are upholding that thought.

So, what the heck is the point to all this Joe? We are obviously the lowest price around. We do not participate in any manufacturer retail or wholesale price controls and you should accept nothing less. CueComponents your low price leader!

Why purchase Onyx Cue Tips when you can buy a comparable Onyx Extreme Cue Tip for so much less! They're a great tip and once on the cue, you'll never be able to tell the difference. They play great! Try some and you'll be convinced too. Yes, our Onyx Extreme's are that good!

The all new Tiger Paw Tip Shaper & Scuffer! This fine billiard cue instrument is an all anodized aluminum body. The Tiger Paw shaper & scuffer is extremely durable and very light weight; less than 4oz and measures 2.5" x 5" and only about a 1/4" in height. It comes with both a dime and nickel shapers. For scuffing and shaping your cue tips, you have both a fine and coarse plates at your disposal. These laser cut plates will last forever and don't need to be replaced. The assembly is well constructed and will last a lifetime.

Now, if you look at the inset picture, you'll see the distributor price list from Tiger Products out of California. As many of you know, we don't get along with this little weasel and his Gestapo tactics nor his Un-American MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) pricing controls. We stopped being a distributor for him when we took a stand against his MAP control pricing. We refused to adhere to his market manipulation. We told him to take his products and shove them up where the sun never shines.

We're selling a very similar item called the Tiger Paw Shaper & Scuffer. It pretty much does the exact same things but at a much more realistic and better price point.

These Sniper cue tips are manufactured with boar hide that was slowly tanned underground without using chemicals. They don't say what they did use but we do know that they don't use chemicals. Tiger claims it can take up to a year but we know better but it makes for good reading and hype. Tiger Products then claims that they treat the leather with some magical and mysterious product which they don't name but this magical potion will give your Sniper tip "characteristics that will improve your game". So, this magical 'dust' will now "improve your game". The heck with the tip - let's all ask Tiger Products to bottle this magical dust!

Now we'll discuss VACULAM which Tiger Products claims to be a trademarked word which comes from vacuum and laminated. Tiger Products is claiming that they put all their tips together with a vacuum laminated process where it vacuum presses the tips together. Unfortunately this very same process also draws the glue into the leather fibers which many now agree is not good for hit and consistency. You don't want to play with glue; you want to play with leather. Whether or not VACULAM is any good is a matter of opinion - try a Sniper tip and you be the judge as they do play well despite the 'ticking' sound.

Tiger Products goes on to say that they also have added a new "treatment" called "APP" or Advanced Pressurized Process. They claim by doing this process it can make the cue tips adaptable to any player, for any game regardless how, when or where you play. How convenient! Personally, we think these and all Tiger Tips are manufactured with their secret process called "FOC" - Full of Crap!

Regardless whether they are manufactured with APP or FOC, they do play well and also hold chalk and Tiger claims they will not mushroom. Yada, Yada, Yada and of course they will give you maximum control, (whatever that is), consistency and of course the least amount of deflection. I wonder how they know since that really can't be tested accurately or consistently. Tiger Sniper Laminated Cue Tips - More hype and another cue tips that competes with all the rest. More crap to buy but they do play well.

You can't beat this for the size and price! Why pay up to $40 and more for an actual Tina Blade when this will do the same job for 1/4 of the price! Plus you get extra blades too as well as a safety cover.

A great value and much safer than a steel Tina Blade!

This is a simple and great tool that every cue maker and pool player should have. It's a simple shaper and mushroom trimmer. If your tip mushrooms, use this; that simple. All you do it put the tip against the blade and turn. It doesn't get any simpler and works great.

A Tip Shaping Guide & Blade Rest

This is a shaping guide for those who prefer to use the utility blade to hand shape the tip.

It has 3 radius guides on the rest. Nickel, Penny and Dime size radiuses.

This takes the guess work out of it and mounts on one side of your tool post.

Weight : 0.5 lbs

Dimensions : 4 × 3 × 1 in

We have a tip shaper, tip scuffer, and a tip pick all made into a convenient tool that fits in your pocket.

Check out the new Morakami™ Gator Shaper Tip Tool

This is a 6 piece high speed steel 1/4" tool bit set and comes with:

1) Right Hand
2) Left Hand
3) Cut-Off Tool
4) Boring Bar
5) 45 Degree
6) Round Nose

This product is specifically designed to install tips and has a 'rubber toughened" mixture which can withstand and absorb the shock of the 'hit'. Other epoxies and glues bond well but the glue cracks from the hit and therefore can cause premature debonding whereas the tip will pop off. The rubber toughened formula absorbs this impact and does not crack.

Now, for the best part... all rubber toughened cyanoacrylates are black in color. This is extremely messy to use but does work great. However, our formula is available in a clear mixture only!!! A great breakthrough for the tip installer.

These are offered as 1oz bottles. This is sufficient to do many, many tip installations.

Introducing the all new Triad Cue Tip by Joe Barringer to compete with the ever popular Tweeten Triangle Cue Tips.

As we all know, Tweeten Fibre Company (manufacturers of the Triangle Cue Tip) is a very difficult company to deal with, sort of stuck up and for no good reason. They have a niche market in a few products and have never done anything since "grandpa" invented their company & products.

In any event, in Tweeten's quest for arrogance, we decided to manufacture a competing product and sell them for a much more realistic price! Introducing, our all new Triad Cue Tips. If you can tell the difference in play (when you get a good Triangle), send them back and we'll eat them with a glass of milk!

The playability is the same as Tweeten's Triangle Cue Tips! That is, when you get a good box of Tweeten's Triangle tips or cull out the few in a box that are usable. You'll be amazed and pleasantly surprised with the consistency and playability of our Triad cue tips.

These are only available in 14mm.

Overall, we are offering you, our friends and clients, a superb quality product and naturally at a much lower price point.

Take advantage of this opportunity and say no to Tweeten's extremely high pricing structure. Competition is a wonderful thing! God Bless America!
