14mm to 9.5mm tips

[ivantan82]

Hi guy, i had bought a 14mm kamui medium tip,think that i had bought the wrong size for snooker but can i just trim it to fit my snooker cue tip? mine is 9.5mm. is there any difference for 14mm and 11mm kamui tips? thanks for any advice.

maybe you should remove 1 or 2 layers as you tip is to thick for a snooker cue

I wouldn't advise you to take any layers off.......

I think the main difference is the 14mm tips are a lot harder because they are made for pool players......

Maybe you should have got a soft Kamui. I used a tiger sniper soft on my snooker cue and was the best tip I had ever used. I now have a talisman layered tip on my pool/snooker hybrid cue (11.5mm), it was 13mm and I trimmed it down, it also plays very well.
You could always sandpaper the top layer or 2 off, down to personal preference though tbh

ya i bought it on ebay and had told the seller to change it to super soft kamui. Think it will be better for playing snooker. But 14mm to 9.5mm.... think it take some time to trim it down.

Fit it as central as possible, upturn the cue onto a cutting board and slice the excess of all around with a sharp blade. File and shape as normal and burnish the sides (assuming you can do that with a laminated tip) Sorted! If it delaminates on you you know you cant really do it!!

layered tips are really harder , even the soft ones ( never tried super soft kamuis ) . friday i recieved my new phoenix soft tip and it
plays great . only played for 3 hours so don't know how it's gonna evolved . problem is that anyway tip got to suit your game and no one can really give You the "solution" . as i said before trimming a 14mm tip Is not really a problem bit for me it's gonna be to thick
