What hardness did you have put on your shafts, and which one do you like best? I like more of a medium, to medium soft feel.

Try the Ivory Medium. Kind of a soft/medium.
Thanks garczar.
Me too!
I use the Milk Duds "Pooldog8" offers and I think they are pressed Elk Masters. I have given a couplet a couple of my areas best plyers and they like and are saying with them.
I watched a short interview a couple of years ago and Shane said he switched to Milk Duds and Efren said always Elk Masters.
How come my Mild Duds don't work like the Pro's do?

Obv you and I got a bad batch...
All kidding aside, the pooldawg8 milkduds (yes, pressed/soaked elkmasters) seem to be a great tip both performance wise and value.
Always a subjective matter tips, but I do love these milkduds.
They're the best. Only tips I'll use as long as I can get them.Obv you and I got a bad batch...

A few drops of a good scotch in milk makes it much better. Only the pro's get the special juiced milk duds.

The Ultraskins have a black series and an Ivory series. The Ivory is just a little softer than the black. I bought 5 medium blacks and 5 medium Ivories from Tom and started with the black medium. This tip is playing better and holding up better than all the Kamui's I have used in the past. I haven't even tried the Ivory medium yet...may not need to.
I use the black soft ones on all my shafts.
They beat the hell out of the Kamui tips.
I have an ivory one (I think it is soft, maybe a medium) on my Meucci carbon fiber shaft and it plays good, too.
Yes, US is still in business. Probably just busy. He's always replied to me.
I shoot the Meucci Carbon Pro. If you don't order a specific tip, they come with the Ultrskin Ivory soft.
Thanks.
The guy I bought it from wasn't sure.
It plays similar to the blacks I have on my other shafts, but it seems to "roughen" up differently when I scuff it a bit. The black ones seem to be more "dense". When you roughen them up, you don't get the same little "straggles" of leather protruding around the tip edges that I get with the white one.
All my recently installed tips...the 2 on the right are medium Ultraskins--one black and one ivory...both play great and should hold their shapes nicely (first time w/ an ivory)

CJ, those ferrules are way too clean!
Look good anyway though...

Well that's because when I installed all these tips, part of my process is to use high-grit abrasive paper to make sure the transition from tip to ferrule is smooth and flush...this also takes out tiny dents/dings and removes all the chalk from the ferrule (and I wanted them all to look good for the picture, so wet and burnished w/ leather beforehand) :wink:
I'm just happy that I can replace my own tips by hand now, such a huge convenience.
