    Kamui Tips Q/A

    That's odd. I am currently only out of clear black soft, clear black super soft, and snooker tips. I have plenty of regular black medium and a few clear black medium left. Going to be restocked by the end of the month. Early November if customs hits me. kamuitips.com should have what you're...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    There's a lot of wisdom in your method! Regardless, I'm glad you found something that works consistently for you! The athlete tip is great on a carbon fiber. Carlo Biado picked up an athlete hard for his wood shaft and a .98 chalk from me right before winning his match.....I was honestly...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    Medium and Hard are coming out first. kamuitips.com SHOULD have them by the end of this month or beginning of November latest. The factory doesn't feel like the soft/super soft are ready yet so I'm unsure of when those are coming out. Thanks for inquiring!

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    Because they are dedicated to QC! They were outsourcing for the wood on the gator grip. The wood was too inconsistent, so they discontinued and went with the Dragon Tongue design. Ended up being the SAME SITUATION with the Juma being inconsistent. So we haven't had any of the shapers for quite...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    As soon as I have an answer for you regarding "additional chemicals", I'll send one! Note that we only have two colors and 4 hardnesses. The clear pad keeps the glue separate from the tip, we do not claim that it changes the play of the tip. Typically only recommend M/S unless someone KNOWS...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    Yes, many agree with you and many do not. To Kamui it is more than a marketing gimmick whether you believe in it or not, but I understand what you're saying. There are some people out there that still prefer not to have a layered tip out there, and that's okay. Just note on one hand you're...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    This is the answer I have for you now directly from the factory: "Our Manufacturing team has continuously made small improvements to our production process. These are often very minor changes, such as adjusting processing time or temperature. Materials and the overall process stays the same...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    Hey I'm sorry, I was going through the forum and seemed to have missed you! In a simpler explanation the purpose of the brown tips are for precise shooting. Black tips generate more spin with less effort. Athlete tips are hybrid tips to improve the play of a carbon fiber shaft. Harder on...

    A question for everyone from the factory: About how long did it take your Kamui tip to glaze over?

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    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...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    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.

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    This is another situation where if it always works for you I can't say you're wrong(especially with that resumé!), but I will add my experience. To me it is similar to the instructions for would glue. You want two smooth surfaces. Less is more with the glue in this case. If the ferrule has...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    That's understandable and kind of what I mean. I don't even typically believe in the term "common knowledge" as it is usually applied, because what everybody "knows to be true" could be wrong. Also, depending on the specific subject, there are so many differences due to habits, tip maintenance...

    Kamui Tips Q/A

    I've never heard of them using super glue! That sounds like a terrible idea to me. The whole purpose of the clear pad is to keep the glue from oxidizing the tip over time. Spit or Tokonole is the only things besides chalk that should touch the tip! The black tip DEFINITELY gives more spin than...
