Ki-Tech tips are pretty sporty.
My take on this is that there is a miscue limit and if you're outside that line you miscue. The hardness of the tip doesn't matter as long as the tip is chalked. You can go all the way to the miscue limit with a phenolic tip that's chalked and not miscue. Conversely you WILL miscue with the softest tip on the market just one tip off center if you have no chalk.
In other words, if you have enough chalk and you ALWAYS hit inside the miscue limit you will never miscue, it's impossible. If you are miscuing then one of two things is happening, either you don't have enough chalk OR you are hitting outside the miscue limit.
The latter happens because of a swoop in the stroke when you are trying to add spin OR you are misjudging where the miscue limit actually is.
When I developed the above ball I designed the white inner circle to represent the miscue limit which is outside that area. Hit straight into the white area with a fully chalked tip and you will never miscue. Hit outside it and you will miscue.
That's more important to work on that trying to use a tip to force you to stroke straight. A soft tip isn't more forgiving than a hard tip when it comes to miscues. The amount of chalk and where you hit the ball are the two things that matter.
