The importance of 8 mm cue tips
The cue tip – also known as the cue tip or leather – is the most important point of contact between the cue and the billiards ball. Its quality and properties have a significant influence on:
- swerve and spin: a high-quality cue tip enables more precise rotation of the ball.
- Accuracy: depending on the degree of hardness, you can support different playing styles with soft or hard tips.
- Durability: high-quality leather tips wear more slowly and retain their optimal shape for longer.
8 mm cue tips are among the narrower variants and are particularly popular for snooker and carom. They allow for more precise contact with the ball and make it easier to control the spin.
