HORO TIPS PROTOTYPE JUMP/BREAK TIP

What's going on YouTube? Today's video, I'm going to do a brief review on Horo's prototype jump break tip and install it on my carbon fiber shaft. This is Horo's new prototype jump break tip. This is how it looks. If you zoom in and look at that. It looks like the Black Storm itself, but I already installed this on my other brake shaft. It's on my wood and it's a little bit different. Also when I cut it, it's a lot different. So let's go ahead first we'll open up the white storm and you can see and compare because this is a jump break tip so we'll open up the white storm and when you open up the white storm this is what you'll get and of course the little QR code in the back and a little brief on how to install it and how to use the the white star but let's go back to the the prototype so it's not much different until you install it and see how it how how it plays but we'll go ahead and measure them so i have this in millimeters and one thing i like about horo horo tips on their brake and their jumps they're 15 millimeters because um now you can see that a lot of the jump cues are 14 millimeters so this one just a little shy of 15 millimeters i mean 50 yeah 14 millimeters almost 15 14.89 millimeters and a lot of the like i said the jump cues are 14 millimeters and this is the black storm and again you'll get a little card in the QR QR code in the back but this is the black storm and this one is also 15 millimeters and like the prototype 15 millimeters but if you look closely they look pretty much identical but when i cut it the black storm itself it has it it um when you cut it on the lay it doesn't chip it um it's a one it's a one strand but when i cut this it's also a one strand but it's real fibrous so they might put something inside that i don't know yet because didn't tell me but from what i used for jumping and for breaking this this tip is really awesome so i really like this prototype tip and that's why i'm going to put it on my carbon fiber shaft because i already have it on my my wood shaft for my breaking and you'll you'll you can see how it cuts and how it is before i do that i'm going to go hit a ball with my black storm so that you can hear the sound difference because i noticed a big difference when i installed it on my wood shaft the sound is a lot different. So I'm going to do that. I have the Blackstorm installed on my carbon fiber break here. Before I install the prototype let's go do a test sound on how this sounds because I noticed when I installed it on my wood the prototype of my wood shaft my break shaft it sounds a lot different. So I'm going to go ahead and do that real quick. I don't know if you guys heard that but that's how the Blackstorm sounds but if you do a comparisons on how they look they pretty much look the same. You can't really tell the difference but once I put it on lathe and start doing the cuts you'll notice how it's a lot different i got the carbon fiber shaft already installed in my lathe and i'm going to go ahead and remove the black storm and you'll this is what i'm talking about when you when i remove the black storm and you'll see how it doesn't really chip this is my G10 so this is what i'm talking about this is how the black storm looks like see how it's almost stringy so once i install the prototype wheels i'll give you the i'll let let you guys see how it looks and how much difference it is now i'm going to get my pad ready for installation what i like to do first is of course clean it with alcohol but before i do that touch it up on a razor blade make sure there's no high spots and then i actually just score the G10 itself i don't like scoring the tip because it'll be especially with the synthetic tips it's not leather tips you might be you might be prone to cracking so you don't want to do that you don't want to actually score these and have cut marks on these I saw one guy do when they sand the tips is they actually use like a bottle type i'm just using regular Pledge instead of using a flat surface and sanding on the flat surface they actually use like a bottle hard bottle itself and sand it so best way to do it what i do is actually mark the tip itself i just use a regular permanent marker and what that does it tells me the clock position so i'll start at 12 o'clock sand it move it to three o'clock a little bit sanding then six o'clock and then bring it back to nine o'clock and then 12 o'clock so that way you get a full flat surface itself you're sanding it that way versus having it this way what i what i was what i saw is you could put in irregularities where you're actually sanding it differently so they said sand it this way so do the 12 o'clock again do the three o'clock six o'clock and then nine o'clock and with the synthetic tips you don't really need to put a thin layer of super glue like how you would i would put on leather that wicks into the leather itself and helps it bond to the shaft itself but with the synthetic it actually bonds to the tip itself to the shaft pretty good so i'm going to go ahead and clean this this way i just use regular alcohol rubbing alcohol clean it make sure there's no dust and you don't want to touch it and when i install the tip itself what i like to do is actually extend the shaft that way i'm not gluing anything here and getting some glue into the chuck joint the chuck itself so i'll just extend it that far lock that in clean it i always use paper towels just in case i have excess glue and i don't want it on my bed of my length and i just use this this is a dead center what this dead center does is just help put pressure on the tip itself when i actually glue it on so i just use regular super glue ca glue and i just refill this this is from hobby lobby but i refill it with the amazon brand and it actually works good i haven't had a tip really fall off so that's the biggest thing that doesn't pop off unless you abuse it and miscue and hit it wrong it might pop off but i haven't had any failures of this that's pretty much what it this is just a regular so and unfortunately with the bigger diameter tips it's hard to use like a centering tool for the tip itself that they'll use i have one for my another tips but with this one you have plenty of room because this is like i said 15 almost 15 millimeters and some are 15 millimeters that's a little excess glue i just make sure it's fully coated on the shaft and the pad and I try to center it as best as I can for falling and the thing is you don't want to put too much pressure on the tail stock so you just want to have it there to hold the tip in place and then once you get that installed where it's pretty much center let it sit and I actually like using the accelerant just a regular accelerator to actually speed up the process but I still wait the five to ten minutes to let the glue actually cure on the inside not just on the outside so we're gonna go ahead let that cure and then once it cures we're gonna go ahead cut it and shape it the glue has set it's been a little bit over five minutes and I put the accelerator that's how this white stuff a lot of installers will put tape around the shaft when and wipe off the excess glue one thing this is my shaft so don't really care and I know how to Clean all this up. So that's why I could already see it in the comments. He didn't put tape is I'm never going to send him the tip and send him my shaft and make him do the work So anyways, but like I said, this is mine and I know how to get rid of all that make it all look nice and pretty so now to prep it for Cutting Closer chef doesn't reflect. So this is the big thing I'm gonna cut some of this off and you'll see the comparisons what I'm talking about when i cut this tip so first i'm going to do the sides and then i'll do the front that way you'll see it so i like to get this as close as possible to the shaft itself it's not like a g10 where it chips a lot but you can see how this one chips especially once i cut it on the front part of the tip you'll see it now i like to get this as close as possible because this tip is actually really really hard it's not g10 hard where you have to sand it and file it almost but it's pretty hard I use a brand new razor blade and it's very hard to cut. It's not like the Blackstorm. Blackstorm is pretty easy to cut. It's a good tip to cut. It's hard, but not as hard as this. So this is what I'm talking about. So I'm going to cut the front and you'll see how it doesn't string up. So this is the string. I'll turn off my lane so my fingers don't get chopped up. But see how they easily break. And I have the old one on the Black Storm. So this is the Black Storm. See how it takes force to actually cut this unlike unlike this one so i'll cut a little bit more i don't like tall tips so like on my break shaft my my jump shafts even my plane cues all my tips are pretty short i don't like tall tips at all there's a better one it's pretty long so see how it's not easier easier to cut and you can see how much i cut also they're almost the same almost same thickness but see how this one's easier to break but the thing is i actually tried this tip already like i said it's on my wooden shaft and it breaks amazing the power i get from it it generates a lot more power and for the jumping that's also amazing because i have it on my jump cue so now what i'm going to do is actually get this flush yep i just use this as a rest it's supposed to be for boring but that's not really what i use it for this is actually what i use for boring this is a carbide so it doesn't flex this one has a little bit so long and it flexes get a brand new razor blade i always double check make sure i spin the lay that way i have no interference and i always double check i make sure it's tight so all this white stuff is pretty much the super glue cleaning that first and cutting this tip you got to be patient you can't just rush it you want to force force the razor blade to cut the tip itself and this synthetic tip it's not like leather leather i would have been already flushed with this once i get it close to flush then i'll start rounding it off all right just to have this little makeshift all this does is give me support on the edges that way the blade isn't flexed so i use a old blade for for giving the shape because i'll be going back to the new blade and getting a final cut what i'm trying to do is actually get this a little closer it's still too high for me i don't like that tall tip like i said it's a little too tall so shaving it down more now i'm getting the shape i want now to get this flat get it flushed to the shaft itself because i have it a little flared out okay this tip is really hard it's like going through the blades don't forget a new blade one trick since it's so smooth what i like to do is actually get the rough sandpaper scuff it up and be careful not to sand the shaft itself because you don't want to change the diameter of the shaft so now it has where the razor blade can actually bite a little bit more of the tip i like to round these a little bit off on the edges because when you break on when naturally when i break i'll have the tip run through the cloth and i don't want having these so sharp that i'll cut the cloth and especially in a pool hall i don't want to be paying for a cloth so i'll round these a little bit make them make sure that the edges aren't sharp that way when when i actually stroke stroke through the ball and the tip goes to the cloth it's not going to cut it now i'm just cleaning it up started with just 80 and then this is just 400 this one's 600 these are all old sand papers and they still work this one just buff it my little q wax this one this one's give it a little shine, make it look good so previously saw all that glue mark here and everything and now just a razor blade it cleans it all up and you don't even cut the carbon that's one thing about carbon fiber if you're actually cutting carbon fiber with a razor blade your angle is like not correct that's the big thing nothing yet now let's get it final I use this to just scuff it all up make sure there's no points it's not pointed it's actually a little bit round scuff it up with the 80 that way you can hold chalk around those edges a little bit and finally I want to score the tip itself because it's really smooth so this is the horo the tip scuffer and way to do it is actually you don't rub it this way you actually just roll it and you put pressure on one side you'll notice it'll go this way and then you rotate it this way same direction under rotation and they'll climb the other way so that's all you're doing all you're doing is putting little indentions on the tip and once I take this out you'll see it so let's go clean this up a little bit normally I've normally I vacuum all this but since I'm making the video I don't have the vacuum rolls I'll be up to be talking over the vacuum and that doesn't make sense Inspect it and you can see it's all flush. It's all straight No glue marks and you can see the indentation from the tip tool This this tip tool is amazing the stainless steel. It's like sandpaper and you can see all that But this is how it looks so I'm gonna go ahead and hit the ball and you can hear the comparisons I'll put the before and after on how it sounds but this is how it looks so i just finished installing the prototype the whole prototype tip this is how it looks i showed it to you a little earlier but let's go ahead and put some chalk this is just your regular chalk see how it holds the chalk really well and wipe that off a little bit normally everyone plays with masters that's what i play with also i play with masters and you can see how this tip holds chalk it's not like a G10 where it doesn't hold chalk that's one thing i like about this tip because like i said i tried it earlier so what we're also going to do is we're going to go hit the cue ball with this tip and let's see if it sounds any different so this is the horror prototype tip jump break tip and let's see how it sounds let's do that one more you can see it's a lot louder that's what i noticed it's not like a G10 but it hits like a G10 because like i said i used it on my wood shaft and it broke amazing i have it on my jump cue and it jumps amazing so hopefully this tip comes out to the market so everyone can have it because this this tip what they did like i don't know if they've reinforced it with the same formula as the Black Storm but it's it's amazing i just gave a brief description and installed the Horo prototype jump break tip before i do my outro i want to share with share this to you guys Horo sent me some some promotional tips to give away in Las Vegas. I have some of the Black Storm and the White Storms. And if you see me in Las Vegas, come say hi to me. If I still have some of the tips, I'll be handing these out. I can give you one of your choice of the Black Storm or the White Storm. Also, if you haven't already, hit the subscribe button, hit the like button, and leave a comment down below.
