Tiger Onyx-LTD® Laminated Cue Tips are made from the same boar hides as the Tiger Sniper® tips that have been treated slowly using no chemicals and tanned the old fashioned way, under ground. Each hide takes up to a year to tan completely, then is treated using Tiger Products' unique Vaculam™ vacuum lamination process that eliminates air that gets trapped between and within the leather layers. During the treatment process, each tip is softened to a medium hardness, while ensuring the leather remains firm. This makes for an easy-to-maintain tip that cuts better during repairs. Tiger Onyx-LTD® tips are super consistent and made in limited batches per year. Pure and perfect, Onyx is one of a kind!
