The Tiger Emerald Laminated Cue Tip 14mm Medium Hard is designed for players who want a firm, consistent and durable response from their cue tip. Developed by Tiger Products, the Emerald combines performance, control and a more environmentally conscious construction, using recycled pig leather splits and custom water-based adhesives for strong lamination.
Built with 10 consistent layers and laminated through Tiger’s signature VACULAM process, this cue tip is made to deliver a stable feel at impact. It is a practical option for players who prefer more firmness than a traditional medium tip, while still keeping enough feel for controlled cue ball play.
Main benefits of the Tiger Emerald Laminated Cue Tip
The Tiger Emerald stands out for its balance between firmness, consistency and value. Its medium hard profile gives the player a direct response through the cue, helping create a more solid feel on contact. This makes it suitable for players who do not want a very soft tip but still want a cue tip that offers control and feedback.
The 10-layer laminated construction helps maintain a more uniform response over time. For players who care about repeatability, this matters: the tip should feel predictable across positional shots, spin shots and stronger strokes.
Features and performance
The Emerald cue tip is made from recycled pig leather splits, skived into 10 consistent layers and laminated with custom water-based adhesives. This construction makes the tip more economical and environmentally friendly while still focusing on strength, consistency and playability.
As a medium hard cue tip, the Emerald provides a firmer hit than softer options. In play, this can help players who prefer a cleaner impact sensation, less compression and a more stable transfer of energy through the cue ball. As with any cue tip, final performance also depends on proper installation, shaping, maintenance and the use of quality billiard chalk.
