Are the Kamui tips being sold on Amazon authentic or are they knockoffs?

Great question! Some are authentic and some are not. I have been setting up an Amazon store to have some sway over counterfeits. You can always buy direct from Kamuitips.com though. We've been selling retail on our website for the last year or two.

A good indication is if they're about $25 or under, it has a good chance of being fake. If you do decide to buy from Amazon, use the serial number checker at kamuibrand.com/sn.

The pad is not there to stop 'oxidation' of any kind. That clear pad just keeps the glue from soaking into the tip causing the tip to come off. If you would just put a dab of glue on the tip, spread it thin , let it set, then sand flat you will seal the surface and the tip will never pop off. As for spin? Give me break, they may 'feel' different but you can generate just as much spin with either tip. I've used every tip from Elk's to rock-hard buffalo to everything in between and i could spin it with any of them. This 'more precision, more spin' is just pr bullshit.

You're right about oxidation at least. I just used the wrong word, but yes can confirm it is to keep the glue from soaking into the tip.

so he taps with his ferral now what okay its a foul. thats what he was doing anyway.

what are you going to do start a fight. not pay off. its up to you to say something if it is going to look wrong. not let it happen and then call it.
how can you be so sure there wasnt some forward motion. get real.

and why does someone in the pool room have to follow wpa rules. and do you want to lose a customer for life over something so trivial.

Intentionals are friggen dull. Opinion stated, tap fouls were always regarded as just that - not dull, but standard minus ones. Why the technicoids want to get their pencils on that one is beyond me. The upshot of criminalizing those and graze strokes is, the game is in checkmate retroactive to the commission. Self fulfilling dummness.

i think i wrote before, as i was at great meadows speedway when don garlits first broke the 200 mph mark.
and i think 8 seconds. the next week or so i was at long island speedway and he did it again a little faster.

he kept breaking records all the way up to 300 mph. i was gone by then. on the road.
