What tip are you using on your Tiger shaft?

Have you tried the Tiger Onyx? I LOVE it.
The Onyx came with my Tiger Pro X. After taking part in Tate's demo program, I already knew I hated that tip. I took it off immediately. I have tried Kamui Black Soft, Kamui Black Medium, Kamui 2 Medium, and Pooldawg8's Milk Duds. I'm currently using the Milk Dud, and I haven't looked back.
What would you say are harder the kamui black mediums or the milk duds?
The Milk Duds play a little firmer to me, but not by a lot.
Ultraskin medium. Slightly pressed. Plays good!
Lee plays with the small tip Tigershaft.I find go with something hard,even a Morri hard plays great and the older Kamui Brown hard really sweet also.Justin has them both and you'll find the shaft will feel a hell of alot better.
I'm with you about the snipers,they feel like a crappy elkmaster and the shaft plays super weird.

Yeah might try a kamui brown hard. And Lee plays with the 12.75 ultra xd. Love this shaft but this sniper is whack Haha.
The owner of Jensen gave me a Milk Dud to try when we bumped into each other at Tunica recently.
It looks hard as a rock. Are these really that good on a player cue? As in normal shots, not for breaking.
I know of one extremely good player in my area and he uses a homemade Milk Dud and cuts it down very, very thin. He says he won't use anything else.
I know that tips can be a real "feels good to me" kinda thing, but I'd hate to hit with something that sounds like a phenolic all the time.

Jeff's Milk Duds (pooldawg8) definitely aren't as hard as phenolic. They play firm, with a lot of grab/action, and there is virtually no need to fuss with them. I've only shaped mine twice since I installed it months ago, and haven't needed to do hardly anything to it after it got broken in. I pick it every now and then and I'm good to go.
The Kamui's I used had a tendency to glaze over and lose their dime shape too fast. I'd go through tips way too fast.
Milk Duds and Kamui Black Softs
I have 2 kinds of milk duds on my shafts right now. One type is from AZ'er Dashznt, and its on a shaft from Kevin Varney that I like. The other milk dud is on a 1st gen pred shaft and is from Jeff (pooldawg8). I have kamui black softs on another pair of 1st gen pred shafts. The hardest tip is the milk dud from Dashznt. I can spin the cb really well with that tip but its not a LD shaft. Jeff's milk dud has a softer feel to me, and plays good too. The Kamuis are in between the 2 milkduds. So far, they haven't needed a lot of attention and as all the other kamuis I've played seem to be very consistent. I need to get one of Dashznt's milk duds from Adam Franks on a LD shaft and see how it plays, and then I will know more. I have a feeling that it will be a good combination.
