Once it is in your head- which this obviously is now- I would go back to a tip you are most comfortable with already. I guarantee you, until you go back, you will blame every poor performance on that newer tip.

If your only problem is overrunning position, try hitting a quarter tip lower on the cue ball. In my experience, all the shots that can be made with one tip can be made with another, unless you are trying to get some large bit of masse going on. I have 6 different tips on 6 different cues, all of them play about the same though, slight adjustments do have to be made, but they are almost unconscious after the first couple of balls.. The only tip I ever put on that I didn't like was a Kamui Hard. Was very hard indeed.
Last week my Kamui Black Soft tip chunked out so I had a Sniper installed (Which is harder). Since then I have played the 6-ball and 7-ball ghost at least 15 times and lost every time. Depending upon the day, i normally come out even or ahead of the 6-ball ghost. I seem to be overrunning a lot of shots and missing shots that need to be hit softly.
Should I spend the money and switch back to a Kamui Black Soft or should I wait it out and see if I get better with the harder tip?
Also, I have never tried a tip softer than Kamui Black Soft so if i seem to play better with it might there be a chance I'll play even better with a Kamui Black SS?
What hardness rating would you say this particular milk dud tip is?

If I remember correctly someone tested a bunch of different tips and his averaged 72-73
I’ve played with a Sniper tip for years and it’s my favorite tip (personal preference of course). I’ve tried a lot of different tips especially since I’ve had my own cue lathe for many years and I’ve settled on the Sniper as my favorite.Last week my Kamui Black Soft tip chunked out so I had a Sniper installed (Which is harder).

You won't be disappointed.Thanks. I'm going to try a couple.
