Has anyone out there tried Milk Dud Tips? I usually use Moori or Kamui tips, but I noticed that one of my favorite cues needed a new tip a few weeks back and I was out of Moori and Kamui tips. I didn't want to wait to use the cue and I remembered that I had some Dudley Tips(Milk Duds) that I bought a while back from Muellers online. I bought them because a few people had mentioned using them to me and how happy they were with them. The tip was a little difficult to shape originally, but since then it has held its shape quite well, with very little follow up work. The tip holds chalk extremely well and plays like a medium tip.The tip "grabs" the cue ball quite well. It's not too soft like an Elkmaster and not too hard like a LePro. I must say, I am not going to stop using Moori or Kamui, but I now have Milk Duds on three of my cues and they all have performed exceptionally well. They are also much cheaper than most tips on the market and that is obviously a plus, also. If you have used them, tell me what you think of them and where you buy them. |

Nope, sorry I haven't tried one before.... But I will definitely try to get a hold of one... It's not layered right? |

No it is not a layered tip. They are made from Elkmaster tips which are soft leather tips. They are soaked in milk and then pressed into a basically medium tip which retains its shape and holds chalk quite well. They are quite good when the process is done correctly. |

I have used them. I like them. I don't have one mounted now, I'm usind a Kamui black soft at the moment.
If you like to spin the ball they are ptrtty good. They don't last a very long though. They are cheap enough that you won't care if you go through them a little quicker.

Soft Black Kamui tips are my overall favorite tips. I also like soft Moori tips. Most of my cues have one of these tips on them, but I have over 30 cues, so I like to experiment. I have three or four cues that now have a milkdud on them and I also have a cue with an Aramith medium tip and one with a Hercules medium tip. The Aramith is a good tip, but expensive. The Hercules is cheap, but I don't like it enough to buy more of them. I am currently waiting on some soft Wizard tips. I've heard some good things about them. |

Milk Dud tips are Elkmaster tips that are soaked in milk, usually for 24 hours and then pressed in a vice or tip press for usually 48 hours until the tip changes from a soft tip to a medium to medium-hard tip. |

Ive tried the muellers dudleys.i put one on cuz it was all i had at the time. Im a kamui brown, triangle fan. I gotta say i as impressed with the dudley. I used kamui brown med for the longest time with no complaints and decided to try a kamui black med on one shaft and a dudley on my other shaft since i was out of tips. The dudley actually requires waaay less effort to draw the ball than the kamui black med. Yeah when you first install them they arent the prettiest but after a few games they dont lose their shape and always hold alot of chalk. I haven't tried pooldawg8s yet but im sure i will. They look like they are pressed better but who knows. I put this tip on expecting o cut it right back off but for the money im impressed. |

Depend on your feeling about the tip .. or even cues, bro. brand name is just about thinking. I'm using Predator now. It's nice design and 8 layers embed. |

I've tried the Predator soft tips and I like them. They remind me more of the older Moori tips than Kamui. |
