KO brothers tip review.

I've recently invested in the Sonos speaker ecosystem. How do the ko tips sound in comparison? Have they delved into the special audio realm?

Yes definitely understandable. I will be shooting with it for a couple months and getting a review of if I actually like it or not. I was just surprised with how it felt that first day. For what ever reason, the hit just felt better and sounded better then what I’m used to right out of the gate. I replaced a kamikazi medium(the ultra I think, which ever one is grayish brown) with the KO tip. I know there isn’t too many things that can change or become better with tips besides feel. Like I said, so far I really liked the feel of this tip, which is probably what made me comfortable and that’s what makes me put more English on etc… I can shoot good with any ole bar cue. But once I get my cue in my hand and the feeling is on point, I’ll shoot lights out. I enjoy the feel of a true medium tip on a wood to wood jointed cue. The feel is unmatched. There’s just something about how the hit resonates to the back hand.

Tips are all about individual feel...if one was the best, everybody would use it...

I put the medium KO brothers brand tip onto my cue today and went to go shoot a few games. This tip is a monster. The sound is awesome for a layered tip and the amount of English I could apply with it was great too. Plays well. I’ll write another review a couple months from now to speak on consistency. But so far so good. Plays better then any kamui, HOW or a ultra skin IMO.

How would you describe the sound and hit?Does it feel/sound more than a single layer tip?

The feel. The feel is far different through so many different tips. I’ve had dozens of different brands. And I like this feel better then any of those other company’s.

Its like many us have already said, what makes these worth the price?
If you did, play this tip in? How well did it hold up?

I always thought the ko brothers devolved those tips for there own use, for what they liked in a tip.

I've yet to hit ANY tip that felt far different from any other tip.

Earlier in this thread you said you didnt use anything softer than a medium, if you have ever used soft tips you would feel an incredible difference between tips. I use Tiger Everest, Ib can feel a big difference between a new one and a half worn compressed Everest, I wish I could buy them used.

where it makes sense, yes. but paying 30 dollars a cube of chalk or 25$ for a leather tip when paying so much just because is just bad business on the buyers side

I use the TAOM V10 chalk, I'm starting my second year with this one piece of chalk, I have my own table and practice a minimum of 1hr a day, it will last me at least another year if not more, does it grip better? Nope, but it is WAY cleaner so in the grand scheme of things I'm wasting about 25 cents a week for cleaner hands, cue, and table....😉

I've tried about all of them. Ultraskins and Thoroughbreds are the best i've tried epecially at their prices. US's for less than 3bux and T'breds at 10bux imo are the best deal in tips.

Garczar on the money again. KO tips sell at a PREMIUM price here, but I can find thoroughbred cheaper even though they travel further to get here.... go figure. Thoroughbred also play nicer (comparing Medium to Medium). KO tips are nice, but you are paying for packaging that you are going to stick in the bin - Ultraskins I have heard only positive things about, and for the price... it's a no brainer. I have a friend who says he has a few left over, and I want to try one, but I hear the producer of the tips is sadly no longer with us (I may be mistaken, but that is what the guy told me)
 
what do they do to the tip to make it get more english. i would love to find out how you get more english hitting the cueball in the same spot with a different tip. if you cant do that then your review is bogus to say the least.

or maybe magic is real.

A good stroke will get english on the ball not the tip.

and a bad stroke wont put the same english on the ball hit in the same spot ???

and if i hit the cueball in the same spot at the same speed what difference will i see with different good and bad strokes.
 
A bad stroke won't allow you to hit the same spot with the power needed to create much spin.

Ever noticed that when you started to play you could not draw the ball..?
 
i still hardly ever draw the ball. for reasons other than i cant.

and i was replying to your comment that a good stroke will get english on the ball. now i see how you meant it.
 
Its a bit of a weird statement to say that you hardly ever draw the cueball, though...if you are playing 8, 9, and 10- ball you will be ''forced'' to draw the ball...less in one pocket, straight pool and banks...talking about long draw shots.

If you hit the cueball at the same spot and same speed but you don't follow through you will not be able to get follow or draw on the cueball, imagine hitting a baseball and stopping your swing at home plate, that's what it is like if don't follow through with your stroke, to make it even harder, you must follow through perfectly straight or you will impart sidespin on your shot whether you intended to or not 😉
 
it has made me lots of money. its hard to quit a guy who cant draw his cueball. i rarely can draw it over a foot or so if i must.
few times in games its a must. and i can play safe or safe on the next ball. and i rarely play 9 ball its a bad gambling game..

I disagree, SVB uses no follow through on draw shots and he has the best one.

not at all true. once your cue tip contacts the cueball its all over baby blue. nothing more happens you can influence.

same with the baseball if you stop your swing when the ball hits the bat the ball is gone.
