Do you guys find that Moori Med after two weeks or hitting probally over 1000 balls, tend to get really hard. And don't accept chauk that well?
Also they tend to loose there shape and need constant reshaping or scuffing... anyone else find this?

With that said, Moori's still offer the best hit or feel from any tip...but what can be done to keep them from hardening up?
 
i've noticed that too. not so much the reshaping but the needing to be scuffed a lot. i've switched to talisman mediums.
 
I can say the same thing about the Moori hard tips as far as not accepting chalk, mis-shaped, etc. Been through a number of brands and not very happy with much of anything that is on the market. Especially for the price they are getting for the lam tips. Don't have a recommendation of a better tip. Still searching...
 
The newer Mooris suck, plain and simple. If you want a tip that plays like the Moori's of old, will not harden up on you, and hold chalk 'for days'...I would highly suggest out try out a Wizard M tip. They are inexpensive, layered and behave like the Mooris of old. They run, on average, about $7.00 ea, and are easy to install.

I had one on a cue that I owned and in about 9 months time, I only had to reshape the tip once...never had to scuff it, and never experienced a mushroom...the best bang for your cue tip buck!! I now have them on all but one of my cues' shafts...and that is because I haven't gotten around to it yet.

If you're interested, contact Marcus (FAST_N_LOOSE) as he is selling these for a great price, and is very speedy with the shipping.

Shaping/scuffing your Moori tips just once every two weeks sounds pretty good to me as I shape/scuff my Moori tips about twice a week. After about 3-4 months, the tips need to be replaced.
 
i played with moori's for about 4-5 years before making a switch to tiger snipers. i found that the snipers feel softer, but are actually about the same hardness as a moori medium. it holds its shape and chalk much better than the moori and it seems i can control the cue ball a lot easier.

Hey Lisa,

thanks for the info. are the Wizard M about the same hardness as the Moori? I mean before the Moori essentially turn into hard.

The answer is:
D) All of the above

I had all of the above problems with a Moori Med, so much so that I've refused to use them ever since. I don't much care if the newer ones are better (or worse, as someone suggested). I had one extremely negative experience with one, and will probably never use one ever again. I've since used Snipers, and so far, they've been great. Hardly ever have to shape/scuff at all, holds chalk very well, hits nicely.

Going back to the Moori Med I had...I couldn't believe how often I had to scuff it to get it back to not shiny anymore. At the very least, I had to scuff it every time I played, and sometimes more than once if I played for more than a few hours. And the only way I'd find out I'd have to scuff it was to try to draw the ball, loft it in the air, look at the tip, and realize, oh, yeah, it's shiny again. :mad:
 
Start using Triangles. Once they're broken in, they're golden. I have cut off every single layered tip I have ever used in favour of Triangles. They hold chalk, spin the ball, and have better feel than the layered tips.

Oh yeah, did I say they hold chalk?

Once broken in, yes, very much like that of the old Moori M's.

Here is a real nice review from someone who was just trying them out not very long ago:

There are some others who were equally satisfied in that thread as well. For the money and thrice that, these tips rock!! Heck, for the roughly $7.00...you cannot hardly afford to NOT give one a try. :yeah:

After reading that analysis i'm ready to give wizard tips a try. Thanks for the information.......

I have quit using moori's mediums also made the switch to kamui. Kamui is the best tip I've tried until I got a new cue that had moori mediums that flattened every time I played and the tip only lasted about 2 months. So in need of a new tip and not wanting to pay the expensive price of the Kamui I read from Fast n Loose had some wizard tip for the price I decided I would try them out. The Wizard tips play better that the moori and just as well as the Kamui. I was surprised on how well the wizards play.
 
I used to use moori mediums.. they're not the same anymore so I changed to Everest since someone recommended it. I keep the tip kinda thin but I get good action with it. Feels good.

When you say, "tend to get really hard", are you saying that you are experiencing miscues? Also, what do you mean by lose their shape? Depending on your answers, there might be a way to fix this, or it's possible you do need to find a tip that fits your style of play.

Hey Gene, miscues, not really but the tip just feels like a super hard tip. And doesn't really chauk that well. As you shape it to a nickel it flattens after a couple days, so you re-shape it again...

I have a Kamui med and some new Wizard tips on the way... can't wait!

one thing that I do love is the Moori feel when hitting balls, if only it would stay round and would accept chauk. ps I have a separate breaking cue...
