I bought an OB121 with an OB1 shaft and standard Everest tip. OB Cues calls the OB1 shaft a "soft hit." I like the way it plays but wanted to experiment a bit because I'm new to pool and still learning about what I like in a cue.
As an experiment I bought an OB Classic shaft (stiffer shaft) and had them put a Kamui medium on it. (I like Kamui tips from my experience with my first cue, a Player's HXT that had a Kamui soft). I don't like its "feel" as much as the OB1/Everest. It's hard to describe but it just feels "hard".
Anyway, that's the background...here's my question: Do you put a soft tip on a stiff shaft? What's the relationship between soft/stiff shaft and soft/hard tip?
I don't want to give up on the OB Classic, but when I need to play my best I always use the OB1. Does it make sense to put a Kamui soft on the OB Classic?
