Cue Tip and Ferrule

These are 100% genuine Melamine. They play great!

Ivorite III is a Melamine based ferrule. These are the finest ferrules. Try some and see for yourself.

They're the real deal.

Each ferrule is approximately .562 in diameter and 1.090" in length.

Cue Components Ivorite-III™ is the finest composite based ferrule material available for custom cue makers. The hit is the same regardless which way you hold your cue. Ivorite-III™ is strong, impact-resistant and bonds well with Cyanoacrylate and epoxy as well as wood glue. It machines, drills, taps and sands well. Ivorite-III™ will polish to a beautiful high gloss soft white finish. Unlike other ferrule materials, Ivorite-III™ is not porous and will not absorb blue chalk. It produces a solid hit. If you try it once, you'll use it exclusively on all your cues. These can be used as capped or uncapped type ferrules.

For installing tips on these ferrules we highly recommend our Cyanoacrylate for tips.

Note: This product is sold by some clowns as Aegis which is the same as Ivorite™ which is Melamine. The difference, you get to pay more for the name Aegis from the Bozo's.

Morakami II™ Cue Tips are made with the finest Japanese pig skin which are then factory sealed in a pill-type encasement to protect the structure and freshness of your new tip.

Morakami II™ Cue Tips are engineered for maximum performance using the latest leather and adhesives while providing you with Chalk and Shoot™ technology.

Morakami II™ Cue Tips are engineered to be the best with each tip manufactured to exacting specifications. The hardness levels are precise and the consistency is second to none. Each hardness level is distinctly different from one another. The difference is visually noticeable. Morakami II™ Cue Tips offer you more skin for a longer lasting tip or you can cut it back to any level you feel comfortable with. They are available in 14mm Super Soft, Soft, Medium and Hard.

Morakami II™ Super Soft Cue Tips are 8mm tall (Duro Hardness = 70.6)
Morakami II™ Soft Cue Tips are 7.6mm tall (Duro Hardness = 73.1)
Morakami II™ Medium Cue Tips are 7.3mm tall (Duro Hardness = 79.4)
Morakami II™ Hard Cue Tips are 7mm tall (Duro Hardness = 86.0)

As you can see the Morakami II™ line of fine precision Cue Tips are constructed to a specific thickness for each hardness. These tips will not mushroom and they will hold their shape and hardness level for the life of the tip.

When you play with a Morakami II™ Black Cue Tip, it will provide you with 100% confidence which allows you to concentrate on the game and not the tip.

Morakami II™ Cue Tips grab the cue ball like no other tip to offer you maximum control.

Each ferrule is approximately .562 in diameter and 1.100" in length.

Everest Cue Tips at low prices (as low as $12.00 each) and with an in depth review - Everest cue tips are a good playing tip. Available only in 14mm. These are manufactured by Tiger Products supposedly in Burbank but we have reason to believe they are manufactured in Beijing and Tiger claims the fame.

Why do so many cue makers and production cue manufacturers use Everest cue tips on their cues? The answer is a simple one. For consumer use and sales Tiger sells a 10 layer Everest cue tip. That's the one everyone sees and purchases. However, for cue makers, Tiger Products sells an 8 layer version of the Everest Cue Tip. And get this one -- Tiger charges only $1 per tip in batches of 100. The only thing you have to guarantee is that you are a cue maker and that you will exclusively use these Everest cue tips on all your cues. And that's the reason. So, if all you players out there think that these manufacturers are using Everest cue tips because they are so great and wonderful; the deceptive reason is because Tiger Products is charging the cue manufacturers only $1 per tip. So, things aren't what they seem to be when you know the real reasons.

As far as the Everest cue tip themselves, they are a decent playing tip. Tiger states, they use "finest quality pig skins in the world". What I would like to know is how does Tiger know they are the finest pig skins in the world? Tiger goes on to say, "every layer of an Everest Cue Tip is specially selected and skived to perfection". Every manufactured layered tip is "skived to perfection"; that's why it's skived! And, then Tiger claims that "only the very finest are then selected and used in the manufacture of an Everest Cue Tip". If you know the owner of Tiger Products like we know the owner of Tiger products, he isn't throwing anything away so this statement is most likely questionable at best.

All Everest Cue Tips are Vacuum laminated by a process that Tiger Products refers to as Vacuum. Vacuum lamination has come under fire lately due to the fact that it draws in the glue which holds the layers together. This process is still up in the air. They then state that they test each Everest Cue Tip for maximum performance. Yeah right! They sit and test thousands of tips every day. If you believe this one, we have some prime waterfront property to sell you.

Tiger Products then goes on to say, "Everest Cue Tips are unique in that they cut and shape like a hard tip, play similar to a medium tip and offer control similar to a soft tip". Can you imagine all that. A tip that provides all that. We don't buy any of it but try an Everest cue tip today. It's a decent playing tip.

A Word About Pricing

Ridiculous isn't it? Well, it's as ridiculous as MAP (Minimum Advertised Pricing). 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.

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.

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

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!  

                STOP!

Why purchase Everest Cue Tips when you can buy a comparable Everest 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 Everest Extreme's are that good!

Tiger Products challenged itself in creating a jump/break cue tip that makes it easier for the user to execute close - quarters aerial jump shots and execute an iceberg shattering break shot. All of this without sacrificing accurate cue ball control and avoiding the dreaded miscue. Following three years of tireless research and development, we at Tiger Products have created the definitive jump/break cue tip of the future! This hybrid cue tip utilizes an ultra hard laminated leather core, with *leather contact surface, allowing for greater chalk adhesion and the phenolic jacket restricts cue tip expansion upon impact. So, all the power you put in to your stroke transfers immediately and accurately to the cue ball without cause for miscue. The result is: increased break shot speeds and "light as feather" jump shots! Manufactured with the VACULAM™ process, this copyrighted Tiger technology has produced an incredibly powerful tip! Icebreaker™ Cue Tips, power beyond imagination!

*Legal for use in most amateur league systems!

It is with great pleasure to announce the news about the Icebreaker break/jump tip becoming legal again for all BCAPL member players. After years of tests and comparisons with many of the other phenolic tips in the industry it was proven that the Icebreaker tip having the all-natural leather core in the center, will not damage the cue ball, therefore it will be considered the only one if it's kind to become the legal tip of BCA league. Bill Stock of BCA has stated, "After doing several hardness tests on numerous tips including the Icebreaker, I am going to deem the Icebreaker legal at our BCAPL Nationals".

ThePro™ Pool Cue Tips are another Barringer cue toip to fight MAP from manufacturers such as Tweeten and their LePro cue tip. These are manufactured in the USA and produce a medium to medium hard tip extremely similar to Le Pro at a much more reasonable price point. These are 14mm.

Tweeten Fibre Company (manufacturers of the LePro Cue Tip) is a very difficult company to work with, sort of stuck up and for no good reason. They believe they have a niche market with a few products. Quite frankly, they have never done anything since "grandpa" invented their company & products.

With 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 ThePro™ Cue Tips. If you can tell the difference in play (when you get a good LePro), send them back and we'll eat them with a glass of milk!

The playability of our The Pro™ is the same as Tweeten's LePro Cue Tips! That is, when you get a good box of LePro’s. Very few tips in a box of LePro are usable. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the consistency and playability of our ThePr ™ 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.
