Source for Wizard tips?

[7stud]

I have a Chris Nitti cue, and I would like to replace the tip. I think he uses Wizard S (soft) tips. Does anyone know of a reputable source for Wizard tips?

Thanks.

Try Nielsen's Billiards (joerackem) on Ebay. Appears he has them in stock. Very reputable and great to do business with.

Thanks, but "reputable" disqualified that one.

Thanks and sorry: I'm looking for the brown ones.

I think the last time I picked some up it was from Muellers...

And fwiw, unless something has changed, Chris usually uses the medium as his standard.

A damn good tip that's about a quarter the price of a lot of tips these days.

I believe it's under new ownership. I've ordered ferrules from there recently and everything went smoothly.

Thanks. In my notes, I have Wizard S as his standard. I'm not sure where I got that from, but I thought it was from Chris Nitti's son. I also have the following hardness ratings for Wizard tips (from Mueller's):

Hardness rating: Soft 72.1 – Medium 75.7 – Hard 80.3

The Medium seems pretty hard. For instance, Ultraskin tips have these ratings:

UltraSkin H (76.6)
UltraSkin M (72.1)
UltraSkin S (64.8)

But in Dr. Dave's tip chart, the Wizard M is in the upper end of the range for medium tips:

Dr. Dave designates tips in the range 76-80 as Medium Hard.

I thought it was strange that a cue maker wouldn't use more of a middle of the road tip, like a medium, but after looking at the Ultraskin hardness ratings, I thought it was plausible that Chris Nitti used a Wizard S tip as his standard tip.

I found a source for Wizard tips: jjcue.com. They have the tips in stock.

Edit: I just checked my old messages, and Dave (Chris's son) said Wizard S is the standard tip.
