Kamui Black

[stljohnny]

I started a thread a while back about having miscue problems with my Kamui tips that I tried. And while I appreciate the input I recieved, it still amazes me how so many people can have similar issues with these tips, yet its just that our strokes suck? Im no pro, but I know I have a decent stroke, and most of my miscues with the Kamui black medium were not way out on the edge of the tip. I had a few that were actually pretty close to the center. Ive currently got a milk dud, everest, moori hard, Hercules hard, lepro, and kamui brown medium tips on various shafts and cues. Out of all of them, the duds miscue the least, followed closely but the Hercules hards. Im not bashing you, and im not trying to be rude, its just that everyone just assumes because they love kamui, everyone else should, and if you miscue, then your stroke sucks. Thats not how it is.

this isn't about kamui or duds, this is a legitimate question about miscuing... i don't even understand how it's possible to miscue with the tip anywhere near the center... miscues only happen because the tip slides off the side of the cb - either because it's too far out from the center or the stroke was crooked and threw the cue off the edge of the cb. i mean, in all seriousness, you can hit the cb with a shaft with no tip installed at all near the center and not miscue.

Ummm, how about no? Do you know how ridiculous you sound? If he's been using Triangle tips forever, something tells me he's okay with them. Why is it that the Kamui tip users are always the ones trying to shove their tips in everyone else's faces in a, "LOOK. THIS TIP IS THE BEST THING EVER. YOU HAVE TO USE IT OR ELSE YOU'RE STUPID" kind of way.

Kamui tips are like the California of cue tips. Everyone from California tells you their state is the best state ever, and people who don't live there are totally lame, and who wouldn't want to visit California? They don't figure that people are okay with where they live, and if they didn't like it, they'd move in the first place. We're all adults, we can figure this crap out on our own.

Bottom line - California sucks, and I'll never spend a red cent on a Kamui tip simply because so many people want everyone else to try them, and people just can't stand hearing that there are folks out there who don't use them.

There, I feel better. :thud:

add me to that list. i know another guy that posts here on az had similar issues and went back to his 1 piece tips because of it.

me and him are no world beaters but we know how to stroke through the ball without miscueing

he said close to the center not at the center. if the tip's glazed over even a little off center can get you in trouble

hrmm... i'm definitely no pro-stroke kinda guy, but i can't say i can recall any time where i've miscued with anything less than 2 tips out from center - as long as i stroke through properly. *shrug* maybe i've been lucky? like i said earlier, i dont miscue any more or less with my kamui than i did with my talisman, so i dont think it's a tip issue.
