Holds chalk very well. The fit feels a touch softer than the Taom 2.0, I'd say its more comparable to the Kamui Kai or Zan double face. Also doesn't mark the cloth like the 2.0 did.

How does a flatter tip provide more power?

I had settled on the Bulletproof for a while. Great break tip, no issues. I tried the C4 tip. This is my new tip now. The C4 holds chalk well. Scuffs easy when needed. I have it on a Purpleheart shaft and everyone that has tried it loves it.
I installed one on a CF shaft for a guy and then he went to a tournament where Francisco Bustamante was playing exhibition matches. Bustamante borrowed his break cue and after breaking with it he commented on how well it broke. I have the video of it although you can't hear what he said.

If you’re going to mention them, then maybe you could actually talk about them. What are they like? How do they compare to other break tips?
Gator tips are made by Andy Gilbert.. Excellent hard leather tips good grips, chalk stays on well and they need very little maintenance.
These are denser and have a different quality leather than Kamui SAI, wich is a very popular break tip. Gator is much more similar to Zan Double Face. These are all layered leather tips and they are all very consistent.
If you want synthetic tips there's a lot to choose from, but generally chalk adhesion suffers, you may get a little more power from say a Horo black storm or Tiger icebreaker, but today with so many players using CF shafts, power is seldom the issue, most players are looking for control, especially on those 9 ball cut breaks.
