    Also Silver Cup green or grey also cover the tip fine.

    The blue does work very well but is messy and you have to clean the white constantly.
    The Master green is perfect.

    I think the chalk is just made slightly differently allowing it to stick to the harder laminated tips.

    general rule is lightgreen triangle chalk for compressed tips.

    dark blue master chalk for layered tips.

    I have been using the m/h for about a year now. Never had a problem of any kind. I also use the gator grip and find it is very useful when initially bedding the tip in. I wouldn't use a pin to poke the tip as you will break too many fibers. The gator grip just agitates the surface.

    Hmm, I think I just hadn't used my Kamui tip enough... I haven't touched the tip for 3 or 4 hour's play and it seems to have settled-down nicely - Played fairly well with it today anyway.

    Dont think I did anything wrong I replace lots of tips for members of my club and as yet I have never had a complaint ! I have regular customers who always ask me to replace their tips to be honest I pride myself on the finished item and the cash I earn pays for some of my table time. put on a bog standard Elk and it played like a dream.

Elk. or Talisman. a expensive lesson ! maybe I was just unlucky !

    I use their gator grip tool to roughen the tip which works very well.

    Used Kamui MH before, never had any issues as well.
