I tried the soft, medium, and hard last. I like the hard very much, they play great with lots of grip and a sweet sound. But I sold the Judd Fuller cue they were on and haven't yet replaced the kamuis I have on my new Mike Durbin cue now, they are about half gone. I'm also committed to try the Outsville hard, so I may put on one G-2 H on one shaft and the Outsville H on the other and get a good comparason of them. For Kamuis, I like MS on the older ones. These G-2s are really well made and beautiful layered tips.
