Kamui Black SS or S

The SS is the softest. But if you're shooting with an off the shelf Elk Master - even the SS is considerably more firm. Not that you wouldn't like it a lot. The KB's are very good tips. If you want to try a laminated tip that plays softer the SS is a good choice, the Everest would be another option. But take care when having these tips trimmed for "thickness" at install. The shorter they start, the firmer they'll play, and the faster they'll firm up further. Good thing to know as you learn to "dial in" your choice.

Thanks Davis.. Appreciate your help.. Do you recommend cut the tip in half like what other people say?
Considering you've been using Elk Master, I'd leave it about 80-85% to begin so you learn what the tip plays like in a "pure" state. Cutting it in half may (and I did say may) be a bit much at first.
The old Moori's that were so great were firmer further down to help with shape consitency. Cut 'em shorter, start out firmer, get firmer faster - was the nature of the beast.
Don't know about the KB's. The tanning process they use is what makes them black, and also provides a lot of their positive attributes... Like holding chalk well, holding shape well, and being less effected by humidity. But I don't know if they are purposely made firmer as the layers go down.

To me is Kamui Black Soft all the way or a Kamui II MS, no doubt. Best tips, period!
I agree with my new friend, BENFICA. I used to love Moori Medium tips from 10 years ago once they were half way down. I recently switched from Sniper tips to the Kamui Black soft tip and It reminds me of the old Moori's I loved so much. I feel like I can do anything I want with the cue ball again. Now only if I can remember where I left my stroke....
