Tips??!!

I think that your gonna get he usual four pages of different tip brands. It's all personal preference. I'll start...Moori m. Seriously though, what type does it have now?
For glue-on tips I like Tiger Onyx, Moori, Kamui, Dawg Duds by pooldawg8, Tad, Tiger Dynamite, Triangle, medium water buffalo,
Black Heart, Black Jack, Black King, Black Diamond.
I have recently tried all of the above except Black King (I hear they are real good) and I like them all.
Also, I need to put new tips on my Black Boar, and I will probably go with Tiger Onyx or Moori medium.

Tip selection isn't based on brand of cue.
It's based on your particular style of play and personal preference.
You may have to go through a few tip changes before you find what you like.
You can shorten the process by deciding btwn hard, medium or soft to start.
That will narrow your search to about 30 rather than 300.
Only you can determine what is right for you.

could you give any generalities of what type of playing style
should use hard tips
medium tips
soft tips
recently I read at AZB that pig skin (Kamui, Moori) is less porous than boar hide - which results in glazing and eventual miscues. And like boar hide tips (as well as milk duds) are better because more porous structure holds chalk better.
Please forgive my being blunt but NO and I doubt anyone else could either.
A player likes what he likes in a tip, usually for many different reasons. And that's just one person.
Multiply those reasons by the number of players and you get a sense of the complexity.
Again, to each his own and I'm certainly not qualified to suggest what tip is right for a particular
player and or, his style of play.
Let's not forget, the tip is just one of many components that makeup the hit & play of a cue.
Tip selection can go hand in hand with ferrule type & mtrl.
Shaft taper, cue wght., balance & etc. could also figure into the equation.
Most players already know what type tip suits their style of play.
Most prefer to stay with what they have because they've learned how it plays.
As their game progresses, they may decide to go a click harder or softer on their next tip change.
Fine tuning if you will.
As to tip vs style, that topic is so full of subjectivity that for 1,000 players asked,
you'd likely get 1,000 different replies.
I know this didn't help much but you asked me personally.
