You're doing awesome stuff with the products you're putting out and everybody loves your tips. If anyone *****es that you haven't sent out their free tip yet, scratch them off the list and send their tip to me
Seriously though, I think most are just stoked to be part of your process. I know I would be

Apreciate the pep talk =) SO far eveyone has been awesome about waiting and noone has been complaining just inquiring... I do tend to jump around a lot on projects... I was stumped 2 years on the chalk and woke up about 6 months ago and knew what I needed to do... I jumped on the chalk and left the break tips in the dust... Chalk got stuck on Hold waiting on molds so viola Accu-Rack SOLO gets finished after it had set for 6 months... Chalk on hold again... HMMM Medium/Hard Ki-Tech gets pushed thru.... Just aqcuired the chemicals I need for the Solid Break tips so next time we hit a change of gear they will get the grease......
New bridge design is moving slowly.... Burnishing compound... I have 5 formulas to test but my Lathe is still in pieces like it was when I drug it home in April LOL hard to test stuff with it in pieces....
Medium/Soft Ki-Tech... Softs are the hardest tips to do.. Don't let anyone tell you different so a medium/soft is a bear as well.... I need something with higher energy transfer than the soft at the same 70 durometer reading without turning down the PSI to get to 70. I could under press the medium or hard and get one.... I could use the soft and turn up the PSI and get there I guess but I have slung mud at the companies who do this so it's no backtracking and not an option..
It's kind of like layered tips.. I had someone contact me about producing layered tips.. I guess if the money is right I would be willing but I had to wonder why... At worst with a single layered tip you may hit a hot spot or a soft spot and it's going to be very very rare... A friend of mine just called to tell me he got a medium that was too hard... I laughed and told him to hit it with some sandpaper and get back to me as they all left at the same hardness... He called back and yup.. It was just like his last one that had lived for 9 months on his old shaft...
What I am wondering these days is how many people would be willing to go full synthetic??... I have several samples incoming that have some very very promising characteristics.... I made a bet that I could make a tip out of a sponge and it perform and hold up... I may be trying to win that bet just to learn some things over the winter......
