BK Rush jump/break tip recommendations

I’m using a bk rush jump break cue. The factory tip delaminated a couple months ago. I replaced it with a hammerhead tip. It jumps well but I feel like my break has gotten worse. Almost like there’s too much power and no feel. My 9 ball break especially has gone down. Feeling like I’m having to slow my break and can’t get the speed right or consistent results. Looking for something that plays close to the stock rush tip. Is that a samsara or odega? If so from those who have played both is one better than the other?

ON CYBORG ...."Manmade material
I have tried them all...
Cyborg tip brakes really well and jumps effortlessly.
I can finesse brake 8 ball rack,
park cue ball in the center of the table,
and really good spread out of the balls,
2nd recommendation Odega...Layered leather....
Much better tip than samsara
 
I used to break with Samsara. Kept popping off my cue. Seems like that’s a common problem.

Now using the Taom 2.0 tip that came on my Cuetec Breach, and like it a lot. Same tip my Cuetec Propel has, which is the best jumper I’ve ever used. Needs some light scuffing to hold chalk.

Any issues with the cyborg leaving marks in the table? With my follow through the tip makes contact with the felt.
 
I use a Gator tip on my BK Rush j/b cue and I'm very pleased with it. Breaks really well and it's very consistent, been using it for a year now and it's still holding on very well. I could say it jumps quite well for middle range jumps, there are though tips that jump easier, my choice for a jump oriented tip would be G10, all synthetic tips of course have to be taken care of frequently in order to hold chalk properly.
 
Taom 2.0 is a body lovely tip. Agree with the previous poster who mentioned giving it a little scuff. Great jumper (though I jump sparingly with my break cue and usually use an AirRush), and lots of impetus through the ball, while having a controlled feel to the hit.

Tbh, I liked the Sonic tip that was initially installed on my Deep Impact II shaft, before I traded it for the Ignite G shaft. Although the shaft is totally a different feel and took some adjusting, the tip has a 'grip' or softness to it (not good at descriptions :ROFLMAO:) while still getting suitable power through the ball, much like the Taom 2.0.
