16. Rumor is that the Kamui Black line is going to phase out and and be replaced by the Clear line. Is that true?
NO!17. Is it true that the reason for the clear pad was to keep the glue from seeping into the leather and keeping the tip playing more true throughout it's life?
Yes, this is true. We want our product to perform as consistent as possible for the player. Advanced players can really feel this difference and love the consistency.
18. If the above is correct then why is there what appears to be another pad between the clear pad and the leather? see this pic
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7776 . or is that just part of the clear pad?
We do this to protect against counterfeit.19. If (2) is true then what about the "glue" that holds the pad to the leather? Wouldnt that affect the bottom layer(s) of the leather?
No. We have the process to properly stick the two to perform as designed.20.I have no more questions. With my experience the hit on the Clears is considerably different in feel then the Blacks. Not better or worse. Just different. Also with both clears I have tried (super softs) they have appeared to hit harder then the Black Super Softs, which isnt a bad thing, just took a bit to get used to since I was a tried and true Black Super Soft fan. I just had my first clear installed and I love it and played very well with it in a local tourney last Tuesday. Your tips are the best I have ever used. They last damn near a year (and I play a lot) and need minimal maintenance and never shroom out.
With all that being said, thank you for your contributions to the Pool world and taking the time to answer our questions. Your tips are a fantastic product.
Rewarding !
