I was particularly happy with the Moori so I switched to Everest this weekend. Too early to tell but it seems to hold a scuff a little longer.

re:Tip Softness
 

Hi Friend,
Playing for many years is not important,but to play in a right way, which automatically makes our game better.Viper cue is a good one and we also feel comfortable while playing with it.I think you have to visit a site,which i recently gone through to get the required tips and information for making yourself good cue ball action.

Cue Ball Tips:)

Moori medium. Was out of the game for about 20 years. New McDermott came with a hard Triangle and cue ball action was not coming naturally. Put on a Moori and thats all I have used since. I have played with people's cue's, tried different tips but I have always come back to Moori. They don't come apart if you prep and attach them right. I just put one on for my 13 year old daughter and watched her game and her eyes light up. Just my two cents

Go Florida State!
