Predator Victory medium, but I just ordered a new cue which will have an Ultra Skin medium on its shaft. I'll let you know what I think of that once I have some time w/ it. I have a Kamui SS on one shaft & for me, it is fine but no better than the Predator. I would not order another.
Triangles do last a very long time if you like a more firm hit this might be a good choice too.
Ultraskin layered hard:
- consistent hit
- little/no maintenance
- long lasting
- cheap
Never noticed a glue layer in many years of use.
Don't believe any well groomed/chalked tip "performs" better or worse.

I like the Kitech medium soft. At installation one third is removed to have a shorter break in cycle. After that and a little breaking in, it is a great tip.
I demo'd some Exceed cues the other evening and the shaft I was using was a wx700. I was coming from a pred Z2, with a rock hard tip, (can't tell you the make). Anyways, the seller was using a Zan soft. After the first dozen hits, I fell in love with the Exceed / wx700 / Zan soft, to the point where I dropped the coin to take a cue home.
The shaft I got (still in the plastic) with the cue had a Zan medium. Completely different hit then the soft. Zan tips seem to play harder than a similar rated tip by a different manufacturer. After giving it a few hours I swapped it out for the Zan soft and love it again.
I'm normally indifferent to tip manufacturer. However, my sticker shock was only quelled by the Zan soft / cue combo. This forced me in the short term to use the same Zan...lol. Moving forward I'll let my cue mechanic experiment.
The point.... The equipment will dictate the tip. The rock tip I use on my Pred Z2 would be unplayable on the Mezz wx700. A soft tip on the Z2 feels like mush.
For now, Zan soft....
I put a triangle on a jacoby black, didn't put me off at all
Yeah the biggest reason I love the Zan Premuim soft is it runs a little hard. Once it’s broken in it’s perfect for me who likes a medium tip. I’ve never had glazing issues with any of the several I’ve used and once they have the initial break in they stay consistent.
Zan Tips for sure been using just the good old Zan medium tips for about 4-5 years now. Waiting on my hybrid max in the mail to try out! But you cannot go wrong with Zan Tips!
Does anyone know or seen a test, that certain brands of chalk create more draw with the same swing speed as another?

Search chalk tests. Ton of info. I've used a bunch of them and my answer would be 'NO'. Some are cleaner/less dusty and some leave less marks on cueball but i have never noticed any increase in spin.
TAD tips, best kept secret.
Ultraskins been working fine for me once broken in.
A leather tip almost can't bet hard enough for me.
I like the feed back.
