Which moori???

[bridgwater]

look you have to chalk every time its part of the game and all tips will glaze if you don't scuff them on occasion. you can't rely on a tip do chalk itself. just the same as you can't expect your stick to shoot the shot on its own

Are you suggesting that the responsibility for how one plays actually rests with the shooter, and not the equipment???

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tips are a personal choice. That's why there are a wide variety of them. Just because someone likes one, doesn't mean you will like it also. Try them until you find one you like.

It can get a little expensive, so you might want to learn to retip you cue yourself. It's not difficult and only really requires patience and care.

I'm no instructor... and hell, I don't even know what I'm talking about other than what I've personally experienced... and that is...

I was going to go with a Moori MED.... but I also heard about Mooris hardening up ... , so...... I decided to go with a Moori Soft two months ago... now it plays like a medium... which is what I was looking for. I really like this tip.

Every tip ll be a bit harder sooner or later- that s normal

I dont know what kind of tip was on my Frey before but now its got a Moori Medium and it hits awesome.

Out of all the tips I have had Triangles, Le Pros, Unknown cheap ones, Everest, and the Moori Medium I have to say the Moori medium hits the nicest.

A couple months or a year later might i say something different I could haven't tried any others at the moment.

I also am getting ready to get a cue with one of the molavia tips so I will get to see how those play.

I've preferred MooriIII's for quite a while. Even with my last 314-2 With a stock Everest it was no contest. But what has been said about the hardness (conststency) and glazing is true. I have always played with mediums buy the last one I had installed (substituting it for the Everest) was very hard. And not one to misfire I found that I did miscues a few times with the new MooriIII medium. I decided to try a Kamui black soft and loved Its performance but the sound bugged me a bit. It was about the as hard as a MOORIIII medium. Then out of of chance the guy who has a cue that I made my decision on as far as where my next cue would be made by had just retipped His ArntQ custom w/ T-3 shaft, with a MooriIII soft.
I WAS able.to play with it almost the entire night. And I.really like it. As has already been establiahed, moori's are running harder now so their soft IS more like most mediums. But the hit/control/action was excellent and Not even closed to a miscue....even on some pretty extreme shots. So that:s what I have ordered On my Arnot custom. If Its like other MOORIIII s I have had it should stay in shape and last as well as anything else out their.

I totally agree with you on this subject, far to many players do not know how to do the proper maintenance on their tip, IE, shaping, cleaning up a mushroom, and Scuffing or tip picking. All tips will become glazed with time, the glaze is created by striking the cue ball. The cue ball picks up dirty and other debris from the table, and the tip picks up this dirty residue from the cue ball, this is where the glazing comes from. The dirtier the table and the balls on it, the faster the tip will glaze.

But, I suppose it is easier for some to blame their equipment, I mean isn't this stuff suppose to be magic.:grin:


Good Post!!

I used to shoot with the McDermott I-2 also and liked it a lot. Then a super deal appeared on this site for a used I-3. That shaft comes with the Soft Moori. Boy, that's the ticket for me. Really had cue ball control. And the 11.75mm tip diameter gives the feel of geometric precision. I very rarely ever miscue so I didn't notice any difference between the soft and the medium tips. I have not experience any glazing over or mushrooming with the Moori. Just recently sent the shaft to McDermott for warranty cleaning, sealing and a new soft Moori tip at no charge. I only paid about $25 for shipping and handling. If you want a great cue, at a very modest price, McDermott's are hard to beat.

I recently had McDermott put a moori soft on my I2 and I like it way better than the medium. Still no problem with mushrooming or glazing. I'll agree McDermott has the best maintenance plan going, and Jayme is really easy to work with.

:grin:I have used a 1st generation hard Moori on my Tad for years and have no complaints! The original Tad tips were replaced by the Moori and I have not looked back. I have not experienced any glazing issues and any miscues are the result of myself and not the tip. Even the ones that I've had on for several years play like new. I just wish that I had more of those 1st generation Mooris.

Good Post!!

Another very good post from your good self Craig that I agree with totally

the same as I also agree with the point that bridgwater and Steve (pooltchr) have made :thumbup:

As far as cue tip hardness goes, it's as simple as this:-

If you like to shoot with lots of english and soft firm stroke, then go for a soft cue tip.

If you like to shoot in a more balanced style of english and cuepower, then go for a medium tip.

If you like to shoot with less english and a little more stroke power, then go for a hard tip.

There are pros and cons to all cue tips of whatever hardness, but if you don't chalk the tip properly and regularly, then you will wind up with a miscue from time to time when shooting english, no matter how soft or hard the cue tip is.

Good solid fundamentals, the correct hardness of cue tip for your shooting style and proper regular chalking of the cue tip with good quality chalk, is all you should really need to worry about when it comes to selection of cue tips.
