Carbon Fiber Break Shaft Tip

Same as for a wood shaft. The top 2 are White Diamond (my favorite) and Samsara. I like whatever the stock tip is on a BK Rush is also, jumps well and has a good break hit feel.
Another vote for White Diamond - also on a BK Rush.
The original one. I think replacing it takes its biggest advantage. Who do you need to change it btw?

The tip flew off while breaking
Mine too. And others. There appeared to be a bad batch of BK Rush hybrid tips that were separating somewhere in the middle of the layers during a break. I first replaced mine with a Samsara tip as it had the same hybrid makeup as the BK. Guess what? After a short time it did the same thing. That led me to believe that Samsara tips were being used by Predator for the BK Rush. I replaced that tip with a White Diamond and I couldn't be happier with its performance. After hundreds of breaks it still looks and breaks like the day I installed it.

I'm going to try a Toam 2.0 or the new Kamui Sai tip..
Everyone’s different, but I like the Samsara break tip far better than the White Diamond, with my Mezz CF break cue.

i like a marshmellow ... fan of the soft break
White diamond for me, but I used a triangle for breaking for a looooong time previously, and it's a surprisingly good break tip.

Hi, since I have a bit of experience with the Kamui (not a competitive player, just play for fun and sometimes league plays with friends), thought I'd share.
I have the Kamui Sai tip on my break cue (have jump / break that uses Taom 2.0 too, but it's a wood shaft), replaced the original phenolic tip by suggestion from the cue seller after using it for quite some time. After trying the new tip every weekend for about 1 month I seem to have better control with my breaks. Feels almost as hard as the original, but with better control.
The Taom feels a bit... softer? Maybe because it's used on a wood shaft, but that is the impression that I get. It breaks (and jumps) nice, just feels different.
Just sharing my thoughts, hope it helps - good luck with the new tip!
1. Taom, 2. Samsara 3. White Diamond. In that order. Unless you’re an elite pro it doesn’t matter much. You’re not breaking dry cause of the tip.
I replaced mine with the White Diamond after the layers started to come apart on the original tip. I can’t tell a difference in the White Diamond and the Predator tip that was on it.
If you liked the original BK tip I would recommend the White Diamond. I think I paid $9 for mine off eBay. For that price if you don’t like it you can always replace it.

I’m waiting for one of the computer companies to team up with a tip maker, and create a tip that surveys the table, decides exactly where I need to strike the cue ball, and guides the tip to that point. Until that happens, my error band will totally overwhelm any miniscule advantage I would gain by having the perfect tip. Any hard tip that holds a decent amount of chalk and doesn’t damage the cue ball will work just fine for me and my level of game.
I thought that too for a long time. The new tips that are polycarb.(clear ones) and the layered-synthetic like the WhiteDiamond produce more speed with same effort. I'm not a fan of phenolic or g-10 tho. Lot of speed but no control.
