Product Overview
The cue tip is the final point of contact between the cue and cue ball.
Its hardness, shape, material, height, and construction may affect:
- Impact feedback
- Power transmission
- Contact duration
- Cue-ball acceleration
- Spin control
- Shot consistency
- Chalk retention
- Tip maintenance
- Overall playing confidence
The HOW Titan H is designed for players who prefer a firm and efficient tip response.
Compared with softer cue tips, a hard cue tip generally compresses less during impact. This creates a more immediate sensation of energy transfer and a crisp contact feel.
Nine-Layer Japanese Pigskin
The HOW Titan H is manufactured from nine layers of selected Japanese pigskin leather.
The laminated structure is designed to provide:
- Controlled density
- Uniform compression
- Stable hardness
- Consistent impact feedback
- Reliable shape retention
- Reduced natural variation
- Strong long-term durability
Pigskin is widely used in premium cue-tip production because its fiber structure offers a practical balance of toughness, elasticity, and chalk acceptance.
Nine-Layer Laminated Construction
Each leather layer is processed and compressed to form a compact playing tip.
The multi-layer design helps maintain consistent characteristics throughout the usable height of the tip.
Potential advantages include:
- More predictable performance
- Controlled compression
- Uniform wear
- Stable cue-ball feedback
- Reduced uncontrolled deformation
- Easier long-term maintenance
The final feel also depends on installation quality, tip height, crown radius, shaft construction, and player technique.
Professional Energy Pad
The Professional Energy Pad is integrated near the base of the cue tip.
It is designed to support efficient transfer of energy from the shaft into the leather tip and cue ball.
This technology may help provide:
- Stronger impact response
- Reduced perceived energy loss
- More direct power delivery
- Stable contact feedback
- Consistent behavior during high-speed shots
- Improved connection between tip and shaft
The Energy Pad does not replace correct installation or proper cueing technique.
Energy Transmission
During a shot, energy travels through:
- The cue butt
- The joint
- The shaft
- The ferrule or front-end structure
- The Energy Pad
- The cue tip
- The cue ball
The Titan H is designed to minimize excessive compression and provide quick, controlled energy transfer.
This may be especially useful for:
- Long-distance shots
- Firm stun shots
- Powerful draw shots
- Break-style power strokes
- Deep cue-ball follow
- Forceful positional shots
Hard Performance
The H – Hard specification provides a firm and highly responsive contact feel.
Typical hard-tip characteristics include:
- Lower compression
- Fast energy response
- Crisp feedback
- Strong shape retention
- Reduced maintenance frequency
- Efficient power transmission
It is particularly suited to players who use a confident, controlled stroke.
Fast Cue-Ball Response
Because a hard tip compresses less than a soft tip, the cue-ball response may feel more immediate.
This can provide a clearer connection during:
- Firm potting shots
- Stun shots
- Power draw
- Long follow shots
- Cushion escapes
- High-speed positional play
Some players may require an adjustment period when changing from a softer tip.
Crisp Impact Feedback
The Titan H produces a firm, clear impact sensation.
Players who prefer this type of feedback may appreciate:
- Immediate response
- Direct energy delivery
- Reduced cushioned feel
- Clear shot timing
- Strong contact confidence
Perceived sound and feel will vary according to the shaft, ferrule, cue construction, and tip height.
Strong Shape Retention
Hard laminated tips generally retain their crown and sidewall profile more effectively than softer tips.
The Titan H is designed to resist:
- Excessive mushrooming
- Rapid flattening
- Uneven compression
- Premature sidewall expansion
- Frequent reshaping
Regular inspection is still necessary.
Reduced Mushrooming
Mushrooming occurs when the leather expands beyond the ferrule edge.
The dense nine-layer construction of the Titan H helps reduce excessive expansion.
Mushrooming may still occur depending on:
- Installed tip height
- Stroke power
- Installation pressure
- Playing volume
- Sidewall finishing
- Maintenance habits
Minor mushrooming should be corrected by a professional cue technician.
Stable Leather Treatment
The leather is processed to deliver stable hardness and consistent playing characteristics.
This treatment is intended to support:
- Uniform compression
- Reliable chalk retention
- Stable leather density
- Consistent cue-ball contact
- Reduced performance variation
- Long-term durability
The cue tip should still be protected from moisture, oils, excessive heat, and aggressive maintenance.
Chalk Retention
Although the Titan H has a firm surface, it is designed to hold cue chalk effectively when correctly shaped and maintained.
Reliable chalk retention supports:
- Off-center cue-ball contact
- Draw shots
- Follow shots
- Side spin
- Stun shots
- Reduced avoidable miscues
A hard tip may require light surface preparation if glazing develops.
Cue-Ball Control
A correctly installed Titan H can support precise control of:
- Cue-ball speed
- Draw distance
- Follow distance
- Stun angle
- Side-spin response
- Cushion position
- Contact-ball separation
Actual control depends primarily on player technique and table conditions.
Spin Performance
The Titan H supports the use of:
- Draw
- Follow
- Stun
- Left spin
- Right spin
- Running side
- Check side
- Inside English
- Outside English
A hard cue tip can still generate strong spin when the crown is correctly shaped and chalked.
Softness alone does not determine spin potential.
Power Shots
The Titan H is particularly suitable for controlled high-power play.
Examples include:
- Long pots
- Power draw shots
- Force follow
- Strong stun
- Multi-cushion position
- Cluster separation
- Powerful recovery shots
Power should always be applied with accurate cue delivery.
Finesse and Safety Play
Although designed for firm performance, the Titan H can still support delicate shots when used with proper technique.
These may include:
- Thin safety shots
- Controlled rolls
- Soft stun
- Cushion safeties
- Delicate position
- Speed-sensitive defensive play
Players accustomed to soft tips may notice a firmer touch response.
Bordeaux-Red Design
The Titan series features a distinctive bordeaux-red leather appearance.
This provides:
- Easy product recognition
- Premium visual presentation
- Clear distinction from standard brown tips
- Professional appearance after installation
- Strong identity within the HOW product range
Color tone may vary slightly between production batches.
14 mm Nominal Diameter
The tip is supplied with a nominal diameter of:
14 mm
This oversized diameter allows a professional technician to trim the tip precisely to match the ferrule or shaft diameter.
Installation normally includes:
- Accurate centering
- Controlled bonding
- Sidewall trimming
- Ferrule matching
- Crown shaping
- Edge burnishing
The final installed diameter will depend on the cue shaft.
Suitable for Pool Cues

It may be used for:
- 8-Ball
- 9-Ball
- 10-Ball
- Rotation
- Straight Pool
- Competitive drills
