I'm a relatively new player. My cue came with a Kamui black soft tip. Because my stroke is a slow work in progress, I tend to unintentionally spin the ball so I use a nickel shape on the tip. My thinking is a larger surface area might decrease the spin. My questions are:
1) Is my thinking correct on the nickel shape decreasing spin?
2) Does a Kamui soft tip loose it's shaping quicker than other tips? I had to reshape my tip during a 2-hour practice session after shaping it before I started. Is something else that I'm not aware of that might be a factor?
