Tiger Sniper Laminated Cue Tips are made from boar hide that has been treated slowly using no chemicals and tanned the old-fashioned way, underground. 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. Each tip is then treated using Tiger’s new process, “APP” or Advanced Pressurized Process to make them adaptable to any player or game, regardless of style.
