Snooker is the second biggest cue sport with 50 to 100 million regular players around the world. However, snooker technology is far behind many sports and is still very 'traditional'. We are the first to properly apply physics, engineering and materials science to the sport of snooker which will have a considerable impact on the equipment used.The most important piece of technology in snooker is the cue, and the most important part of the cue is the tip. Most tips used by professionals and amateurs are mixtures of leather and resin. The use of leather is problematic as animal-derived products cause ethical issues for some players, and they are by their nature variable in quality and properties.This project is to develop new, leather-free tips that will be both animal-product free, and provide much greater consistency. We will develop and test materials in the laboratory, and then have top professionals test promising candidates in real world situations.

斯诺克是第二大台球运动，全球有5000万至1亿固定玩家。然而，斯诺克技术远远落后于许多运动，仍然非常“传统”。我们是第一家将物理学、工程学和材料科学正确应用于斯诺克运动的公司，这将对所使用的设备产生相当大的影响。斯诺克最重要的技术是球杆，而球杆最重要的部分是杆头。专业人士和业余爱好者使用的大多数提示是皮革和树脂的混合物。皮革的使用是有问题的，因为动物源性产品会引起一些玩家的道德问题，而且它们的质量和性能是可变的。这个项目是开发新的，无皮革的提示，既不含动物产品，又提供更大的一致性。我们将在实验室中开发和测试材料，然后让顶级专业人士在真实的世界环境中测试有前途的候选人。
