The Tiger NITRO Laminated Cue Tip – Darren Appleton Edition combines cutting-edge technology with world-champion experience to deliver the ultimate in performance and precision. Developed jointly by Tiger Products and BCA Hall of Famer Darren “Dynamite” Appleton, this cue tip represents a perfect balance of feel, power, and control. Constructed using Tiger's proprietary VACULAM process, each layer of premium leather is vacuum-laminated to create a strong, consistent bond that resists delamination and deformation. The result is a medium (3+) hardness tip with Durometer values of 95 (Type A) and 73–76 (Type B/C), engineered to produce a solid, crisp hit while maintaining smooth cue-ball response. With a 14 mm diameter, the NITRO Tip provides a wide, stable contact surface for accurate spin and clean cue-ball strikes. The premium high-performance leather ensures excellent chalk adhesion and long-term durability, while the laminated design maintains its shape and hardness even after extended play. Each genuine Tiger NITRO Tip – Darren Appleton Edition is laser engraved with the Tiger logo, year of production, tip name, and “Made in USA” for authenticity verification. Installation is simple—just glue from the engraved side for proper bonding. Proudly made in the USA, this premium cue tip is designed for serious players who demand consistent performance and professional-level feedback. Please note: Retail box is not included. Tip ships individually in protective packaging.
