Hello,
I was wandering what yalls experience is between a medium and soft tip. I often hit the ball hard and was wandering if a soft would help? Also, having trouble with my draw so thinking that the soft would be better. I understand that the soft grips the ball more....(which I dont know what that really means). Trying to figure out whether the Kamui medium or soft would be better for my Meucci.
Thanks in advance!

The black soft would be a medium soft in a few days, medium in about 1 1/2 weeks. Medium hard in 3 weeks. The browns are a little softer. Jmo

Wow...had no idea...so a soft tip will progressively get hard?
Thanks,

The softer the tip you install, the more the tip will change over it`s lifetime, because of that I try to talk customers over to a medium tip, so they have more consistency.
If your struggeling with draw, in most cases it`s a technique problem and has nothing to do with the tip

Hi Red
Every player is different. Try the super soft black clear first. All layered tips are different.

Don't waste your money on Kamui tips.

I cut my Black Super Soft tips off all my cues and replaced them with Ultra-skin black soft tips. IMO, they are way better than Kamui and you can get 10 of them for about the cost of a single Kamui tip.

In my dealings with Michael Webb I would definitely take his words as solid advice. He knows his sh*t.

I echo this comment. From my experience with Kamui tips (installing and using), Michael is dead on about the tips hardening over time. I have actually had to use my dead blow hammer and a Lenox titanium blade to remove a Kamui SS tip that had been installed less than 2 months. I’m using and installing more UltraSkins now.

No tip in the world going to fix your draw... Need to fix stroke... As for Hard vs Soft tips... a very well explanation can be found here https://billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue-tip/hardness/
You can also read about the differences of Kamui tips and installation here https://www.billiard-pro.cz/en/manua...-instructions/

A GOOD Triangle might help with your draw shot.
