ISO/wtb clear acrylic pads

Kamui pad is polycarbonate.
Fastest way to cut them without a laser would be a 5/8" plug cutter for 13mm, give you less than 1/16" overhang. Or a 1/2" plug cutter for 12mm or less.
That is what I thought. Polycarbonate is a totally different animal than acrylic. Acrylic can crack and break easily, were as the polycarb won't. I would also think that the effect on the hit, if any, would be much different too.

There is, but you can't break with it, otherwise it leaves permanent deformation on the tip. I have not tried it with the make up type of chalks, but regular chalk did not stick all that well to the tip. Leather will yield to the ball still carrying the chalk, so makes a better contact, hence the chalk dot when you strike a ball. Softer tips = bigger chalk dot, harder tips = smaller chalk dot. Depending on the yield of the tip material.

1/32" acrylic warning
In case anyone who purchased my acrylic pads is worried, I've not had a single failure reported, nor have I had any complaints about the hit. While I do not dispute polycarbonate's inherent strengths, in the real world, it hasn't been an issue.
Carry on.

And here I was thinking that those were just glue lines under the tips :thumbup:
Triangles! That's how I started as well. I had a customer that thought it looked cool but wanted it on a Triangle. I told him that it was just (in my opinion), something to prevent glue starvation. He just liked the way it looked and it made it easier for him to tell which shaft he was pulling out of his bag. It is frustrating to think someone would make up fake Kamui clears to pass off though. Some folks don't mind looking over their shoulders all the time I guess.
