I finally found what i wanted : a verrrry hard tip who holds chalk. it's excellent, much more that i expected. I must say that i am extremely impressed by the chalk adherence on the samsara tip. I believe than the loctite 401 helps a lot, even loctite gel works. Īfter many breaks, no problem, the samsara tips are always on my shafts, they have resisted to extensive breaking sessions & to the huge shots of my artistic billard friends. ģ- my feedback about the tip, how it breaks. amazing mecanical properties it has, for sure !! can it mushroom ? dunno, time will tell, but to me it don't seems than a samsara tip can mushroom. The glue works well, the process seems ok, since after some break pratice sessions and tests by artistic billard masters, it is still on my shaft in perfect shape. It was his 1st samsara tip install (he works almost only on carom cues ). My friend told me that the tip looked "dry", but not hard to work with. dome shaped a bit more flat than a dime, 2 layers removed (one -the external, with the samsara logo- jumped immediatly during the shaping process. unusual ultra stiff configuration, 57", 17.4oz balance point 20.5" from the buttcap. I use it as breaker config with a 12oz 29' BEM butt. He installed it on my monster break shaft, a 28" 13mm straight conical taper maple shaft, 5.4 oz (unusual, hum?), with a very short (4mm) uncapped ferrule (made in ivorine IV ). So, for my 2d shaft i decided to give the install job to a friend cuemaker, a lathe helps a lot when it comes to put a samsara break tip properly. save yourself a "pain in the a." tip install sessionĢ- 2d attempt, samsara break tip install using a lathe. So, my advice is to use a lathe to install it. the tip is still on my shaft, has resisted. since the ferrule was verrrrry clean, flat, & the tip properly prepared, i had no gluing nightmare. I used loctite gel to glue it, waited a couple of hours before to work on it. was hard, but finally I could do it with decent results, and a lot of efforts, painfull hand job i must admit. i've spent a lot of time, much longer than expected, to adjust it to the exact size of the ferrule without damaging it. Well, wasn't a good idea, in fact : i underestimated a lot the hardness of this tip, so. this conical shaft is a "back up" shaft for breaking or artistic billard. Some weeks ago i decided to give a try to the samsara break tips, as replacement of the hard laminated tips i was using on my break shafts.( kamui black hard & ultraskin HH, both with 3 layers removed and a flat shape )ġ- my first attempt to put a samsara tip by myself with my usual manual tools :Īt first, i wanted to try to put a samsara break tip myself, using my manual -hand- tools, on a 12mm black phenolic -not capped- ferrule.
