They told me they don't like fitting kamui tips as they are hard to do?

That is odd Ricky I just had 3 shafts done for friends in Berkshire by cue doctor Gary all with Kamui Black Softs. As long as you provide the tip and take it into the shop he will do. If you have a kamui clear however tell him the clear pad is part of the tip otherwise he'll cut it off lol

Absolutely Sinnero! just choose any laminated brand tip matching in colour  I've noticed that the black softs do tear a little when shaping (in my hands anyway), but surely not enough to warrant not re-tipping for you. Bizzare!

I have thought of trying it, used to do my own snooker cue tips but never done 1 of theses before and been told its a lot harder plus tips being a lot more expensive puts me of trying, could become a expensive gamble lol
