Mike,
While cutting on a lathe you will notice that the cut is very clean and becomes like a strand. The layers are pretty tight and barely show a glue line. Will they Mushroom at all? Sure, not horrible but the hardest of this series is a medium so yes a little mushrooming can be expected. The sound of hit should be pleaseing as it makes very little noise. Holds chalk very well but I can't tell you how often between chalking so chalks free,use it. On the playability, it they play well, good grip but as the Kamui always felt different from the Kamui so will the SIB differ from the UltraSkin.
You will not find any writing on my part that states it hits exactly like an old Moorri, strictly that it is more fore the people that like that Type hit.
You will be seeing many reviews poping up probably quickly as a LOT have been paid for and shipped in the last couple of days and to me I listen more to what a majority of John Q Public says as real installers and players than any make believe test taken from a catagory to try to fit around a Cue Tip. I hope it is well recieved but have not spent a dime that has come in on them yet in the unlikely event I have to return a lot of money.

To each their own... I've played with a few UltraSkin tips and have been nothing but impressed. I also really like the Tiger Onyx tips, but know some people who can't stand them. Opinions are like... well... you know.
How would you compare the playability of the SIB tips to your current UltraSkins, as it pertains to firmness, resistance to mushrooming and how they hold chalk?
Cheers,
Mike
