I voted Moori based upon my limited exposure. However, sometimes I think it is really of very little importance, as long as you're using the same tip consistently.

You really have to consider Moori for fish and perhaps the Elkmaster with beef.
Triangle tips are awesome. They hold their shape, they grip, they hold chalk, they last, they're cheap, and they hold up.
Name another tip that has ALL of that going for it...

You must have missed the cheap part.
Beta Testing
I am beta testing the new ?Hasidic Mohel? tip. It multi-layered and apparently is made with some secret skin. Seems to work pretty well but has a tendency to shrivel up when it is cold and seems to want to bulge whenever women are present. Still working on curing its tendency to shoot prematurely.
I hear they will be predominately available on the East Coast but you have to have a Rabbi install it.

Who needs to look at www.kamuibrand.com and watch movie clips use your printer copy the pictures go to pool hall and try one and all. who has ever gone through this for a tip. Proporsity should be a key word for you guys to remember. mark

I have used: Sniper, Everest, Tiger (Soft, Med & Hard), Tiger Jump Break, LePro, Triangle, Elk Master, Moori (Med), Talisman (Med), Champion, Tad (two layer) and a whole slew of experiemental stuff (
) here at Tiger.My personal top ones are:
1st - Tad (2 layer)
2nd & 3rd - Sniper & Everest are neck & neck (very different tips).
4th - Moori (1st edition). The 2nd & 3rd editions are hardly worth mentioning.
The Tad (2 layer) is the best feeling tip ever for me; however they's last no more that two weeks before they got too damn hard and I had to put on a new one. Once I got in the tip manufaturing biz, I came to understand that the Tad tip was cowhide and it's nature was to firm up as it did and gloss over theyby no longer holding chalk. Lots of fiddling.
For over all needs: Holding shape, performance and longevity, the Sniper beats them all.
Sure I am biased on this, but who cares.
I use Morri's because I don't have much experience and Morri's had the reputation. I've used Talisman Hard and X Hard and like them just fine. I'm wanting to try Sniper. Mullers catalog shows the hardness measurements and I like that. I was surprised to see the Morri Quicks were as hard as almost any listed. I like'm hard.

Probably because they're so damn expensive and hard to find. I suspect most people, like me, assume they are not significantly better than Mooris so it is worth the search.
Wait!
Ok, I know that this poll is over but I feel I must share my experience.
I went to a Morri MED on my OB-1 a while ago and was very satisfied. However, now that it has been about two months, I noticed that the tip is actually starting to mushroom slightly. Also, It seems that I have to take fine sandpaper to it regularly to "open" the tip back up to taking chalk well.
In my opinion, the Talisman PRO MED tip that came with my OB-1 is the best yet. It rarely needed shaping and never mushroomed. The feel was just as good or better than the Morri I have on there now. It also lasted me more than a year. Please do not confuse the Talisman Pro with the Talisman WB (green).

As far as hit, I prefer a soft tip, and loved the moori soft.... Until after only a very short time, started to mushroom. After constant trimming and maintenance, I gave up. I since switched too moori mediums, and have been really happy with them. I find that after the first mushrooming and trimming, they hold both the shape and chalk really well. I play 7 or 8 hours everyday, and go through tips every 6 months.
I will also add, I just purchased the ob-1 shaft last week, and HATED the hit. The tip, IMHO, was the worst garbadge I'd ever seen. I was so hard it wouldn't hold chalk, AT ALL. I even showed it to some other players, and they all agreed. I just changed it to a moori medium today, and it plays like a completely different shaft. I even reshowed it to some of the players, and after hitting some balls, agreed again.
