you need the soft kamui white. its the nuts.
As others said, they are off by one level compared to other tips. I currently play with a Kamui Black Medium, it's verging on almost being too hard and not holding chalk the way I like but it plays well (for me) and I don't mind it.
Taking a layer off will most likely only make it harder, not softer. That was the trick I used with my Soft tip that was too soft for me, I took off a layer or two to compress it a bit. Hitting over time would probably naturally do the same thing.
Try the Kamui Soft, or go with another medium tip like some of the Tiger products (Everest, new tip (Onyx?)) or Sniper.

My personal choice is that I prefer a Medium Moori. I have tried all the Kamui soft tips and they still seem harder than the Moori.
But like I say, it is a personal choice thing.

Dude, in my humble yet extremely accurate opinion.. I highly recommend going with the Elk Master Filipino Recipe Modified of course.. Med/Med Hard Press... Right now the man with the best recipe consistency is a cue maker out of NM, Adam Franks... I dunno if hes in the business of selling tips but I do know he does like to help out your game if he can.
The best players in the world use these tips and they don't cost alot either... Kamui is a great tip, don't get me wrong, but the feel of the hit is dead once the ball is struck, it feels like it bounces off the ball and almost catches the cueball, which most good players don't like, myself included. What great players look for is a solid hit that delivers a transfer of enery from the tip to the ball and allows feedback thru the cue back to the player.
I hope this helps out and Kamui lovers, please hold the negativity.. I've tried them all and the best layered tip was the Med Morri when H. Morri was still with us. There is just something about those masters that deliver a consistent solid hit that sends the cue exactly where you aim it.

Maybe just bad luck but the last 2 boxes of Elkmasters I purchased were crap. 90% turned to fuzz after installation. I finally gave the 2nd box away which was half full after wasting way too much time. Told my customers I was no longer installing Elkmasters.
Nice thing about Moori and Kamui is that they install very nicely and play consistently. Just my 2 cents...

That is because the elk Master is crap unless it's modified.. Usually soaked in a special solution the placed in a mold and pressed to the desired hardness then baked... These have many names, one is milk dud. I was referring to these elk masters. Not everyone makes them right, but the ones that do, hold onto them cuz these tips are nothing that you described.
If it's a Black Kamui Med,.. No, taking layer off won't help.
I play with a Kamui Black Hard. Tried the all flavors of the Blacks. :grin-square:
