This has been a long asked question which no one can seem to answer but I am going to definitively answer this question to satisfy all who have ever asked it. The absolute best hitting tip is..... Drum roll please..... The tip that you play best with.
There is no answer to this question as we all play differently. If I play best with a Moori, that doesn't mean that you will. You may play best with a LePro and that's fine. Charlie may play best with a Sniper and Mark with a Thomas. There are many tips on the market and all are excellent tips otherwise they wouldn't be offered. If they weren't good, sales would show that and no reseller wants dead inventory especially us as we have tens of thousand of dollars tied up in inventory in tips.
The trick is to not listen to anyone, try as many different tips on your cue as you can afford and you'll find your best hitting tip. Now remember, when you do find it, stick with it. If you change cues, that tip may not be the best tip for you any longer. It's all trial and error. And remember, just because a tip is $20, that doesn't make it the worlds best tip. Your best tip may be a $2 Hercules tip. It may be a Morri or some other tip on the market.
And remember this too, just because you like the tip on your buddies cue doesn't necessarily mean you'll like it on your cue.
And just to add, Moori tips are still available in the USA from Japan through reputable resellers and don't worry about the rumors as they're all untrue. I'll be posting the complete story in our next newsletter to all our friends and clients within the next week or so. Stay tuned as I was saddened and dismayed over the irresponsible statement that Pechauer made to his clients and which started this thread. That was nothing more than a self serving endeavor. It's a shame for someone who prides himself in making all American cues to make such a false and inaccurate statement.
In closing, I would like to say God Bless and thank you to all our Veterans on this Veterans Day, 2012.
