I heard Moori III tips have a tendancy to get very hard after a few weeks so chalk won't grip on it, anyone can confirm?
 
Basically the new lot of Moori III tips are the worst, they mushroom like hell and there's difficulty holding chalk after a while.

I noticed a big quality drop as compared to last year's batch of Moori IIIs.
 
I was a die hard triangle fan for many many years. Opposed to anything new especially layered tips.
A few years ago, when Tweeten started making a larger percentage of duds, I switched to Moori mediums. In my opinion they are a tad bit softer than triangles, and have the same tendency to glaze from time to time. I dont think its an issue, most other tips will do the same thing.
A VERY slight roughing will fix the issue, and not grind down the tip.
Im just still amazed at the amount of spin that can be generated with them.

Edited for the above post. I have not had any trouble with mushrooming. The original Moori tips back in the early-mid 90s (when they were $50 +) mushroomed worse than the current ones.

I plan to buy a layani soon and I think he puts moori III on his cues. Any experiences to share after you used the tip for a long time?

If you don't why not change it. I personally play with a talisman WB layered tip. I prefer the hit of kamui but they are a tad expensive.

Moori 3s are fine, they are very good tips that grip the ball well. Unless I drop my shoulder on a stroke, I have yet to miscue with one. Like I said earlier, if it glazes over, a very light roughing will take care of the problem and not wear down the tip. I have put hundreds of hours on one and it still plays great. If the tip is installed properly and not overheated in the trimming and burnishing stages you will not have any problems. If you get the tip too hot, pretty much any tip will have problems (mushrooming, de-laminating etc)

I've been using Moori III M for a couple of years. I bought a bunch of them on an ebay auction about 2 years ago, and I haven't tried the very latest batch. That said, I haven't had any problems with Moori tips. They hold chalk well, resist mushrooming well, and are very satisfying to play with.

If I were to find the current Moori tips problematic, I would switch in a heartbeat to Everest tips, which I find ever bit the equal of Moori.
 
Side of the tip swelling out from the ferrule. Happens if the tip is soft and wont hold its shape. On a tip such as a Moori, every once in a while you will get a dud, but most of the time that it happens its because the installer got the tip too hot. Then they come out and say moori sucks, instead of admitting they screwed up.

I guess it gets hard, I don't really know. When it gets wore down a bit by me shaping it I suppose it could be harder down there. I then have to tip pick it a little more and make sure I chalk everytime. Not oa big deal.
 
Moori III

I have a cue lathe and installed my Moori medium myself. One thing for sure, I did not get it hot. It still mushroomed on me once. It also glazed over once. A few gentle taps with the brad tool cured the glaze and some careful passes with a 10" mill file cured the mushrooming. I should have used my lathe and a utility knife for the mushrooming but I decided it needed doing late one night and my lathe wasn't in my home office. ;)
