Description
Navigator GEKI Hybrid Tip is a high-performance billiard cue tip designed for players who want a powerful, responsive hit and maximum cue ball grip. It blends Italian cowhide and Japanese pigskin to create a refined hybrid construction.
Made in Japan, the GEKI tip is designed for both wood shafts and carbon shafts, offering a strong connection feel and reliable response from the first shot after installation.
Hybrid Cowhide and Pigskin Construction
The Navigator GEKI Tip uses a hybrid structure that combines the best characteristics of two premium leathers.
The design includes 1 layer of premium Italian black cowhide and 9 layers of top-grade Japanese pigskin. As a result, the tip delivers a unique balance of elasticity, grip, edge tension, and power.
Designed for Wood and Carbon Shafts
The glue side features specially treated, high-grade Italian cowhide. This layer is designed to create a strong sense of unity with both wooden and carbon shafts.
Because of this, the Navigator GEKI Hybrid Tip offers a powerful grip and an immediate playing response after installation.
Specially Compressed Glue Side
The glue side uses 1.7 mm thick Italian cowhide, specially compressed to approximately 1 mm. This compressed cowhide layer is then matched with Japanese pigskin to complete the hybrid structure.
Therefore, the cue tip is built to combine firmness, elasticity, and control in a modern performance design.
Maximum Cue Ball Grip
The hybrid construction enhances edge tension and helps maximize cue ball grip. This gives players better contact with the cue ball and supports more confident spin control.
In addition, the cowhide elasticity helps reduce hardness variation by approximately 10%, supporting a more consistent feel between tips.
Made in Japan with Strict Quality Control
The Navigator GEKI Tip is made in Japan with strict in-house quality control. This ensures careful production standards and a consistent structure.
Moreover, its deep, elegant coloring gives the tip a premium appearance that matches its technical performance.
