Haven't tried one but Steve Davis said in his twitter the other day that he used a medium and higgins uses a hard.

10 USD for regular tips and 11.50 USD for the kamui black

However, they will not sell to anyone who isn't a authorized kamui tip installer or retailer and will not send outside of the US, US territories and Canada.

Why won't they sell them abroad or to anyone?

I was thinking of trying a medium. Actually I am a bit worried about how to get it down from 11mm to flush to my ferrule!

The video of the slow motion tip contacting the ball is very interesting, as well as some lovely positional shots. Have to say, when he strikes the ball, it sounds like he has no chalk on it?!

Kamui tips are rock solid and super hard. Highly respected in pool, on par with Moori tips.

Players who played for years with soft Elk's might find them too hard...

I had one of these given by uk8ball when they got them on trial. They are firm as you'd expect, but very playable tips that grip the cue call nicely and never go out of shape! They gave me. A 14mm tip which I chopped 3 (making them cheaper) out of without any delamination too.

Personal view...
I tried Kamui hard, felt in love straight away.
Felt like compress tip. Need not play afew game to settle on the tip.
Best part, the chalk stay. The tip never bust when I miss cue with deep impact...
For the past, I used to change tip about 1 week 1-2 time.
I play snooker 3-4 times per week, average 7-8 hrs per session.
But using Kamui tip, for months this baby stay... haha... (Till I change new cue) :p

Too bad, cant find any stock in singapore, so I switch to "Killer" tip, hard.
Similar to Kamui, but abit slippery.

But using both Kamui or Killer, I'm feeling more confident and need not worry about replacing the tip if miss cue.
Ya, I also love the feel when applying stund shots...
The solid sound makes me wana pot more... hahaha :D
