White Diamond tip - perfect for VP players!
Posted: Tue May 27, 2014 4:43 pm
This White Diamond is a break tip, but I use it for my playing shaft (OB-2), thanks to Seyberts for installing it, normally they don't offer this tip for playing cues, so I had to e-mail them first. Today I received the new shaft together with Kamui 0.98 chalk.
I have a Moori Hard on my older OB-2 shaft and it mushrooms badly and feels very random and uncontrollable, that's why I switched to something harder.
When switching to White Diamond, some sacrifices had to be made to gain some strengths, it took away almost half the spin. Extreme spin can't be used anymore (gets miscue), but 99% of the shots don't need that anyway. I noticed that I could hit the cueball softer than before to get the same speed. This worked amazing because my accuracy increased! When shooting a few MPH harder my accuracy drops from 95% to 10% in some shots, but with the White Diamond tip it kept my accuracy at 95% because I could stroke softer! Suddenly I could make all the long shots I couldn't do before, this felt like cheating!
The accuracy of this tip is very good, I hit the balls centre of the pocket consistently, I never did that with Moori. With Moori I stroked the cueball and something random happened, I aimed straight and it didn't do straight, it was hit and hope even on easy shots. But with White Diamond, nothing is random, if I stroke it straight, I can be sure it goes how I want. This is like Virtual Pool 4! I'm sure the VP players will love this tip just for this reason.
Slight massé shots were very accurate, made the ball many times with position. This is like VP4 accuracy. I always played 10 times better in VP4 than in real life. But with this White Diamond tip, it has become almost equal! This is how good this tip is, it's like a miracle!
VP4 players use very small movements of the mouse when controlling speed. White Diamond tip gives a similar effect, you can use smaller movements in the stroke which results in greater accuracy. Your body stays more still because you don't need to stroke as fast. You will actually hit where you aim, it's more fun to play like this.
