Welcome to the Talisman Billiards Shop in the UK8Ball Shopping Mall. Talisman are based in Thailand but are owned by an Englishman, Tony Jones. Tony has made the most of the superb local products and skilled craftsmen available in Thailand and has developed a range of Layered Leather Cue Tips and Cue Cases of the highest quality.
Layered tips, commonly used in American Pool, are rapidly becoming popular with English Pool and Snooker players and many top players, such as John Higgins and Stephen McGuire, are now using them. Layered Tips are made using thin layers of Skin which are then glued together to give a more consistent product. They feel a bit firmer than single layer tips but they last a lot longer, keep their shape better and control the cue ball more precisely. All in all they bring an added confidence to your game. Talisman make two types of layered tips, The Pro is made from selected Pigskin and the WB is made from local Thai Water Buffalo hide. They both come in a selection of “hardness” grades.
Talisman’s range of Leather Cue cases are exceptional and the pictures here don’t do them justice. They are all designed to hold a number of 2 piece cues and are probably more suited to American Pool than Snooker or English Pool.
We aim to have most items in stock, here in the UK, so you can expect to receive them within a day or two. The exception to this is the Leather cases which have to be sent out directly from Thailand so please allow a few weeks for these to be delivered.
