Well what do we have here? It looks like another ‘Crown / Trumpet’ type tip. I’ve been told that this year Kyren had some spare tips already played in and he played well after this so hopefully not too much of a hicup! Judging by his next match against Mark Allen, his hasn’t affected him too much this year as he is playing the full compliment of shots! I’d like to know what type of tips Kyren’s using or whether it is just a fluke but you have to be pretty unlucky to take a chunk out of your tip two years on the bounce at this level that’s a disaster. In the next picture you get a close up of the chunk he has taken out of it and then in the third picture you can see he has had a little bit of surgery completed and the remainder filled with chalk. This year, we have the same tip and if you look at the top, he has suffered the same again. If you saw last years World Championships you would have seen Kyren take a chunk out of the tip and sadly the tip issues seemed to cost him his form. Well as we can see, Kyren has again this year opted for that old style low tip depth with a slight dome on it. One poor shot can lose you a frame at this level or even a match at the wrong time so a tip is no less important than your cue.Īgain, we take a look at some of the tip shapes chosen by the top players in the world’s and as we have seen before, they don’t all go for a standard shape.įrom ‘Trumpet / Crown tips’ to ”Dime’ shaped tips to ‘Over sized / Mushroom’ tips, they all seem effective in the right hands.įor you sad snooker enthusiasts out there, I hope you enjoy this years selection!Įither scroll down to look at all the tips or click on the player’s name and the hyperlink will take you straight there. If you have any doubts over your tip condition the thought that it could cost you a pot will fester and grow. It’s no secret that Ronnie must like the taste of snooker tips as he has certainly chewed a few off in his time. It’s bad enough if you are not quite on your game but you certainly don’t want to have your chances ruined through poor equipment. All the guys will be praying they are not only on their game but their cue and tip is in top condition. It’s that time again, all the big names at the 2018 World Snooker Championships at the Crucible Sheffield.
