Dr. Dave looks closely at the myth that a softer tip can impart more spin to the CB. He presents a simple test that anybody can easily do on their own to compare any tips of interest. He first looks at all effects associated with using tips of different hardness. He then does careful tests to compare functional performance of tips over a wide range of hardness including a Victory Soft, a medium-hardness Tiger Sniper, and a hard phenolic-like BK Hybrid.
