I'm thinking of trying a Kamui on my snooker cue. I see they do 11mm snooker tips in the Kamui black range but for some reason they only seem to come in Medium and Medium Hard.
I like a soft tip as I don't have much power and my game is all feel. I use a Black Soft on my American cue but I thought it even more important I use a soft tip at snooker so was intending to try a super-soft.
Has anyone tried one on a snooker cue? Is it possible to get Super Soft Kamui snooker tips or do I need to get a 14mm super soft?

Hi riggers it Darryn Walker if you want a soft snooker tip blue diamond were the best for softness but could be to soft and spongy but you can't really go wrong if you get a nice elk master mate

Yeh been using Elks for years pal but just fancied trying something a bit more consistent. I never liked BD - a bit like having a marshmallow on your cue lol

The black mediums allow you to play the same game using less power and they're the only laminated snooker tip I've used that doesn't need constant maintenance. If you try one and can't get on with it the next best thing is the woolridge pressed supertips. They're like the best elk but every one is the same as opposed to the lottery of elkmasters.

Thanks Dave. Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. I just hope they are not too hard. You can't beat a good Elk but, like you say, it's a lottery. I need to have confidence the tip is going to remain consistent and give me chance to spin the ball with low power. I found a guy on ebay selling them and it just so happens he's based in Barnsley so will pick some up off him. Hopefully they are genuine. [ This message was edited by: Riggers on 2013-01-20 08:40 ]

There's a hologram logo on them. If the logo is just reflective silver they are fake. Search YouTube for the video showing the difference.

I've heard very good things about the wooldridge supertips Riggers. Ralph has one on his cue, he says he gets lots of action and the tip takes minimum maintainability I.e keeps its shape.
