Let's not talk price, What do you play with and why.
If your just selling, Don't play here, unless you actually use one of them.
Good idea Bryan.

Obviously I like the Moori's. I don't have any trouble with them, I play with the medium.
I also like the Wizards, they play well,
I aldso like the Tiger Dynamites, there a little softer but I still like them.
 
at the risk of sounding repetitive,i play with Kamuis because the mushroom less than others and i like the very consistent hit.i use soft or med soft,but actually hit some balls with hards a month ago and liked them too.
 
I've always played with Moori MH. I still have a few that I keep for myself. I recently put a Super Pro tip on a cue for somebody and loved it. I couldn't bring myself to use them for a while because of the red color. I figure if I ever make myself another cue, I'll give one a real test.

That's why I took Bryans hint and just listed laminated tips. Hopefully something good will come out of it without feathers getting ruffled.
 
I like the Moori Medium. They have good feedback and when I am in stroke I can do almost anything I want with them. I brake with my playing cue all the time and the Moori holds up great. I actually like the feel even better after the tip gets really compressed from breaking with it.
 
Mooris are good to Me, I've used many on My personal cues over the years, but lately I've just been using Hercules or samurai's that i got from atlas, and they play fine to Me, but then again I don't mind the super pros either. They don't have to be expensive to me, just need to feel good with what ever ferrule material I'm using them on. I've used sniper before also when I wanted a little softer feel on a harder ferrule, and I liked It too. I guess most of all though, It's not always the arrow, but how use to the combo I am using that makes the biggest difference, and unfortunately only having more time to practice will help Me with that.:frown:

Moori Hard, I like the crispness, solid feel they give. Mediums are very good, but I prefer hard. Alot of players I know get mediums and say: well after I play with it for awhile it will pack down and play like a hard anyway. Well in my experience when a moori meduim is down to it's "last life" last layers, I think they become a very akward feeling tip, kind of dead. I'm not talking about 1/2 a tip, or 1/4 tip, more like 2 layers + the crown of the tip. The hard plays the same from the day I put it on to the day I cut it off. I can also break 9-ball very well with it, More control on the break shot, I use my break cue for 8-ball mostlly. As far as spining the ball, As arogent as it sounds, I do have a very good stroke, Mike Massey/Tom Rossman were doing some trick shot clinics and they said they'ed like to bottle my stroke and sell it, Buddy hall type stroke, I don't have trouble getting whitey to move. I also Like super pro's-great tip for the price. Wizards and sting rays are new on the market and I enjoyed hitting balls with those.

But, My very favorite 2 tips are,

#1 the old 11 layered Instroke tips Seyberts used to sell, no longer being made, I used Meduims they were the best feeling tip I ever had. I installed 2 new one's on my lambros 1 week before I retired it, damn it, they were my last 2. I recently met a fellow repair man that had 3 instroke hards, He sold them to me, I had a smile on my face all day, will use one on 1 shaft of my next playing cue.

If anyone has these let me know, I might be interested in purchasing them.

#2 Black widow tips Made by Keith Hanson of Keith's custom Cues. These tips are Hard/firm. But the feel is/was unreal. He only lives 90 miles from me, maybe I should contact him and take a road trip.
 
I'm currently using a Molavia medium. Nice crisp hit with lots of action and very good on the long draw shots. I haven't tried a Moori in a while, but I think the Molavia has slightly livlier hit in comparision.

Is your "Moori" the latest generation Moori? Do you see any difference between latest and previous Moori tips?

Best laminated bang for the buck, for me, is 11 layered wizard tips I bought for $5 a piece. I got Wizard medium but it's quite a bit softer than Moori or Kamui medium tips. Now if I were to pay $7 a piece for Wizard, I gotta think more ...

I got the moori's about two months ago, I stopped trying to keep track of which generation it is. Not something I have any control over.
 
I liked Moori medium, still do.

I tried Malavia hard and liked it better. It is comparable to Moori medium, but I think it held up better with a better feel.

What was explained to me once was a Malavia soft, medium, and hard all start out the same, and how much it is pressed during manufacture defines which hardness it is. I don't know if this is true, but the Malavia hard was not as tall as medium, which was not as tall as soft (all same number of layers), so it made sense.

The new generation malavia hard is taller than 1st generation. I have not tried one yet, but it looks a little different.

Everest.
Made in the USA.
It's extremely rare to see one delaminate.
They play well, and don't need to be scuffed, picked, or otherwise mutilated if you chalk properly. (like most pigskin tips)
 
I play with Moori medium III from the tin can era. I like how they feel and play. Very low maintenance too. I tried old Kamui and didn't like them at all but I have bought some newer generation softs and medium softs to try. There are many tips out there I haven't tried. I hate tips that glaze and won't hold chalk.

I heard Moori is clearing previous inventory to make way to their new tip, a four layer model! I can't figure out why someone would change a previously successful product as they have several times. More, faster, better?

Thanks Jazz, Unfortunately, I don't find that to be good news.
 
I used to swear by old Moori M but now I hate the new Gen III Medium. they are really hard! I installed one of them on my playing cue and changed it after 2 racks. I have the rest of the stock send back to my supplier for replacement to Soft Moori. The Soft moori are so much better. Other tips I would use are Kamui MS or Everest.

Agreed that old Instroke medium are also good. Too bad they are not longer made.

Snookered <=== old one are still the best
