Soft, Medium, or Hard... That is the question

I don't really think this is true. I play with a ton of English all the time. I use a hard tip. I can do just as much with the cue ball using me samsara break tip as I can with a soft tip.

Same here. In fact, I sometimes feel like I can draw better with my break cue than I can with my playing cue, and that has a phenolic tip on it.
As far as tips, I just went on a tip-testing binge, and both Tom and the Renfro (above) make a quality product - they were both the two best of the many I tried (my cue guy got to the point where he laughed at me when I showed up with a tip in one hand and a shaft in the other. He got installed a new one every week for like 2 months). I'm using the ultraskins now, but I'd use more ki-techs in a heartbeat. It was pretty much a toss-up between the two. The only reason I landed on the ultraskin is that they burnish better, which really has nothing to do with playability.
I recently went from softer tips to harder ones (because of that break cue thing I mentioned above). If I was still shooting soft tips, I'd probably be using the ki-techs instead of the ultraskin, because it seems to me that Renfro's science-y process he uses to make the tips will keep it softer longer than a traditional layered tip, but hards tend to stay hard or get harder. That's fine with me.
