I like triangles on everything

 

[Abernathy]

I dont use kamui or Tiger as they are jsut too high priced. buffalo is ok too but I like ultra skins and maximus best bang for the buck

All my playing cues have ivory ferrules and all, except for one cue, have Kamui Clear Black Soft tips.

Ivory is rather stiff, so might want to balance it with a bit softer tip. Go with medium or medium soft and use a layered tip to lessen the stretching load onto the tip (mushrooming means stress to the ferrule).

Also Ivory is a natural material, so it's imperfect. You might want to protect it a bit more by using a Kamui clear (for the pad below the leather) or use a carbon fiber pad below the tip (like OB does).

Cheers!

No such thing exists, tip prefrence is a subjective thing.
If you tell us what you play with now, and how you like that tip, it's easier to come with suggestions.

The Navigator medium plays very nice
