【JAPAN Tap Made with a Thorough Player's Perspective】 This is the product page for the PREMIUM TIP 【M】. ＜NISHIKI Premium Hardness Characteristics＞ 【M】 (DURO value 92.8) The M, with its excellent overall balance, can be used regardless of playing style or level. We recommend the M to players who haven't yet decided on their preferred hardness. ＜Five Features of NISHIKI Taps＞ To achieve everything players want from a tap, NISHIKI taps are committed to these five points. 【1】 Tap sides are less likely to bulge The phenomenon of the tap sides bulging is more likely to occur when the fiber density of the leather is low. NISHIKI taps are made by carefully selecting parts with high fiber density and tanning them carefully by craftsmen (tanners), making the tap sides less likely to bulge. Therefore, daily maintenance is easier. 【2】 Six-layer lamination makes it difficult to miscue One of the causes of miscue is the adhesive used to bond the leather layers coming into contact with the cue ball. Due to the structure, the more layers there are, the more the adhesive (adhesive surface) is exposed, and the risk of miscue increases. Therefore, the lamination is six layers to reduce the exposure of the adhesive (adhesive surface). 【3】 Thick pigskin with elasticity and resilience Compared to many laminated taps, the leather per layer is designed to be thicker. This has resulted in a tap with moderate elasticity and resilience. Therefore, the grip has been improved, and the amount of spin imparted to the cue ball has been increased. 【4】 High durability and clear sound A uniquely developed adhesive is used for bonding the leather layers, which is a key point in the manufacturing of laminated taps. Therefore, the durability is high, and the sound quality is also good. 【5】 Stable quality that can be used with confidence If there are variations in the materials, even the highest processing technology cannot maintain a consistent quality. NISHIKI taps are committed to careful management from material selection to tanning and manufacturing. Therefore, we have been able to achieve stable quality with little variation in performance from product to product. Item...Supplies Type...Tap
