i believe the kamui soft plays more like a medium and is one of the best tips. but what ever you do dont get the medium, it plays very hard
I disagree. I just tried the Kamui black medium on two different cues, and its a little harder than medium, but its far from hard. It does play VERY good though.

I have a cue with two identical laminated shafts. One with the Kamui medium soft. The other has a Kamui black super soft. While the medium shoots nice...the one with the black shoots lights out! If I ever need to play with the other shaft I will have the tip changed to the Kamui black before I do.
The black soft or brown soft
It may be all in my head, but I agree with that statement.
Mine is the brown soft.These other guys are saying the black is better .That being said im going to have to try one.
I have tried the Kamui II medium and the Kamui black medium, and I prefer the black, but both play very well. You can go wrong with either one. The black tips play a little firmer, but they grab like a shoplifter without a security camera on him.

Hardness Scale for Kamui Tips...
Here's something Kamuitipsdotcom posted a while back, and I found it very helpful.
Lemme help with the hardness "feel" rundown from softest to hardest.
KBSS->KIIS->KBS(=)KIIMS->KIIM(=)KBM->KIIH->KBH
(->) = "Is softer than"
(=) = "Is generally softer or the same as when the WEATHER and HUMIDITY is right"
Remember - The Kamui Black is humidity resistant so when comparing to other tips... VERY HARD TO DO.
I have Brown Medium Softs on some cues now, but have not hit with a Black Soft YET - I do have a new Josey that will be here tomorrow that will have Black Softs on it so I'll let you know then!

Too soft for me!
I just logged a few hours with the Black Softs. They are a bit softer than the Mediums, but I like the way they feel. I think installation is the key though. The people that don't seem to like these tips probably had someone put them on wrong, ie: Liquid Super Glue instead of Locktite Gel.
