I have one installed on my synergy shaft, plays very good. I don’t use that cue now I play with a cue I had refurbished. I have 2 CF shafts, a Jacoby Kielwood shaft and 2 Tiger LD shafts. They all play good but the Tiger shafts are 12 yrs old and have the best feel and feedback.

I have installed a lot of Kamui Athlete Medium tips for customers and feedback has been very good. I just got Kamui Athlete Soft tips in stock and have installed a few, cut like butter. Is there any validity to it being a carbon fibre shaft specific tip? I really can't see the science behind that.

I've been using them on a couple shafts, Rhino and Jacoby v4, for about a month now. Just tried it out for something different and I really like how it plays. It started a little mushrooming out after 3 weeks but nothing crazy. Reshaped the tip and it still plays good. I play about 15-20 hours a week so have put some time into them. I haven't experienced any glazing and they are still grippy with good feel and control. I'd recommend checking them out if you're looking to try something new.

Cheers!

I had to ask my milk dud maker to make a special batch of slightly softer tips when I switched to carbon fiber.
Admittedly they are not CF specific, but they play a tad softer than his normal recipe. Can't see what would make a tip CF specific.

Same here. I have 3 Revo cues and 1 Cynergy and I play with my old Joss sneaky with a Z shaft. . .HillbillyIslandLife on YouTube. Check it out! 9 ball Speed Pool in 60 seconds or less. . .

The idea of layered tips was to provide consistency throughout the life of the tip as you reshape it and sand it down.

The idea if a tip that is constructed with bottom hard layers and top soft layers will guarantee loss of consistency as you go down in layers.

I was using a Predator Victory soft on my Revo 12.4 and wanted something a little more firmer. I tried a Kamui Black Medium and I felt it was a little too firm. I cut off the Kamui Black Medium and had a Kamui Athlete Medium put on. I was very happy. It felt a little softer and the cueball felt like it wasn't coming off of the tip as fast. I am very happy with it. I might even put one on my Cynergy 12.5.

I don't get it. Players like what they like, but If it's only for CF shafts, why does it come in 3 diff hardnesses?? Wouldn't you think if it's specifically designed there would be only one hardness?? Perhaps I missed something here.
