NOTE - See my follow-up videos that clearly show that a softer tip does not get more spin:

CORRECTION:
- at 4m21s, I meant to "no noticeable effect" (not "noticeable effect").
Cue/Tip Info:
- Fury HT with unknown "hard" leather tip
- house cue with Elkmaster "soft" tip
- Players break cue with Bakelite "phenolic" tip
NOTE: Many people have suggested that the longer tip contact time associated with a soft tip would allow the soft tip to impart more spin to the CB. "This is simply false." For the reasons why, see the newly-revised cue tip hardness resource page: [ Ссылка ]
