Update to this thread.
My best friend's Kamui Clear SS Black tip is the best tip I have ever played. It has kept it's shape, softness and most importantly grippyness if that is a word.
All this being said I have had the same person install the same tip on my cue at 50 dollars. My tip is just not the same as my friends tip. I am not sure why and will say that I am more than a bit disappointed. If I could get a tip exactly like my friend's I probably would have paid 100 dollars and been very happy. At 50 bucks it is too much money to just cut it off and try another of the same tip.
Wonder what I could look for to achieve the same nice grip that my friend's tip has. Best tip I have ever felt and I have been playing for 30+ years.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
Kevin
