Has anyone tried Piku Break Tips?

In short: they offer a little better control but, at a cost of energy transfer.
I dont mind giving up a little power with 9 ball but with 10 ball...well, I like my break speeds between 23 and 26.
I can't get past 23 with the piku break tip so, its only ok for me with 9 ball.
As for jumping, I'm not a fan of piku. ESPECIALLY if the jump is short. If you have to get the CB up fast, well, the piku.....to me.... is a very poor Choice.
I like very hard leather for breaking and jumping.
Bottom line:
If you have control issues, the piku may help but, it will cost you some power. Then again, speed should be second to control because it does no good to crush the rack if you dont know where the 1 ball and CB are gonna be after the break.
