Non-peeling
We used a proprietary bonding technique to minimize separation between the pigskin layers. Our repeated testing ensures that the layers will not peel off during turning, even when exposed to heat or the force applied during leather cutting. If peeling occurs immediately after installation, we will provide a complete tip replacement.
Unbreakable
Minimal processing of the leather ensures that chips and cracks will not occur.
Maintainability
NAOLLY Cue tips are made from carefully selected pigskin leather, utilizing only a limited portion of the densely fibered leather. The leather is extremely dense, resulting in less wear and longer-lasting tips.
Stability of Performance
By obsessively focusing on the leather base of the cue tip, we continue to stock only selected leather suitable for our products. This ensures stable material quality, and we faithfully execute detailed recipes during processing. Additionally, we implement thorough quality control during production and monitor the products through our exclusive players. This allows us to grasp the sensations and textures down to the finest details.
Durability
We take pride in creating cue tips that express the natural resilience, flexibility, and longevity of leather. Numerous players have provided positive reviews, and with proper care, including massaging, adjusting, and using Naolly Maintenance Cream, the initial state of excellent grip can be maintained for an extended period.
Reduced Squirt
With various shafts, ferrule available in recent years, Naolly Tips may initially feel slightly hard due to the high density of the leather. We recommend experimenting to find the hardness that suits your combination. If you use a carbon fiber shaft, we suggest choosing a tip one hardness level softer than your preference.
No Over-spin
Players who pay attention to the 1 tip and 2 tips hits on the cue ball may appreciate Naolly Tips. We emphasize providing the ability to faithfully produce desired curves without excessive force, as overly responsive tips can hinder good performance.
Excellent follow and draw shot
The responsiveness of Naolly Tips might make it feel that way. Properly input (80) shots result in a corresponding output (80). It's not your performance if input (80) doesn't equal output (50), right? With Naolly Tips, a natural response contributes to an increase in shot averages (based on feedback from those who have excelled since switching to Naolly Tips).
