The Tiger Dynamite 14mm Laminated Cue Tip for Billiard Cues is built for players, cue makers and repair technicians who need a hard, durable and consistent cue tip, especially for break cues. Made in the USA by Tiger Products, the Dynamite combines seven layers of selected pig leather with Tiger’s signature VACULAM lamination process, designed to create a strong bond between layers and support long-lasting performance.
With a Hard 5 rating, the Tiger Dynamite is made to handle powerful impact. This makes it a practical option for break cue setups, where energy transfer, resistance and a firm response are more important than a soft feel. It is not designed as a touch-oriented playing tip; its purpose is clear: provide a hard, stable and durable contact surface for powerful shots.
Main benefits of the Tiger Dynamite 14mm
The main strength of the Tiger Dynamite is its balance between quality, durability and value. Tiger describes it as a well-priced laminated cue tip for its quality and durability as a hard tip. For cue makers and manufacturers, this makes it a reliable option for break cue lines and cue maintenance work where repeatable performance matters.
The 7-layer laminated construction helps the tip maintain a more stable structure under impact compared with many single-layer tips. This is particularly useful on break shots, where the cue tip is exposed to repeated high-force contact. The hard feel gives a direct response, helping players who prefer a firmer hit and reduced compression during powerful strokes.
Features and performance
The Tiger Dynamite is made from selected pig leather and naturally treated to a specific hardness. Its seven layers are bonded through Tiger’s VACULAM process, a lamination method used to maximise strength and consistency between layers. For a hard cue tip, this construction is important because layer stability directly affects durability and response over time.
This cue tip is supplied in 14 mm diameter only. During installation, it can be trimmed and finished by a qualified cue technician according to the shaft diameter and preferred finish. Tiger specifies that the tip must be glued from the laser-engraved side. The engraving includes the Tiger logo, the tip name, the year of manufacture and Made in USA, helping confirm genuine authenticity.
