Why Kamui?

[scsuxci]

I just had a Kamui Brown Hard installed,which is a step below the
Samsara break tip as far as hardness goes.So far it hits incredible
with no mushrooming and takes chalk very well,much better than
the Kamui Black Medium I had on before.Mines on a 314-2 shaft
which really compliments the shaft, for my style of play.As far as tips
glazing over,I always tell guys to keep there fingers off there tip.The oil
from your finger gets on the tip and the moment you strike the ball,
the glazing process begins and the miscuing soon to follow.Don't touch
your tip with your fingers!!:smile:

***Update

I've been using a Kamui Black SS for about three months now. Holds it shape well and very consistent on English. However, I'm noticing more miscues due to glazing.

Seriously considering going back to the Moori Medium.

kamui ss black
kamue soft black
tiger onxy
tiger sniper
moori meduims
kevin varney soaked and pressed tips.
all these tips play very good in my opinion.

I have lots of tips and my own lathe
and 4 shafts for my main player plus loaner shafts.
i compare these tips everday. customers dont always know what tip they want put on. so i let them try out kamui ss, sniper, onxy , triangle.
A lot of customers pick sniper tips.
