The Kamui Original Clear is a premium laminated cue tip engineered for high elasticity, absolute consistency, and a classic crisp hit. It bonds the world-renowned Kamui Original leather with a specialized clear backing to streamline installation and protect the tip’s natural performance characteristics.
Core Technology & Features
Shielded Clear Base: The non-porous clear shield on the bottom of the tip acts as an absolute barrier. It blocks liquid cue glue from soaking into the leather’s lower layers during installation, preserving the factory-spec feel.
Porosity-Retaining Tanning Process: Crafted from premium, moisture-resistant Japanese pigskin leather layers. The tanning process maintains the leather’s natural porosity, allowing it to hold chalk Exceptionally well and dramatically reducing miscues.
Glue-Ready Base: The bottom surface is perfectly flat and pre-cleaned. There is no need to sand the base before installation, ensuring a flawless, gap-free bond to the ferrule.
Moisture Resistance: The leather is treated to resist environmental humidity and temperature changes, keeping its density and response consistent regardless of the playing climate.
Performance Advantages
Uncompromised Play Feel: Because glue cannot penetrate the leather, the lower layers never harden artificially. A “Medium” tip behaves exactly like a true medium from the first day of installation until it is worn thin.
Crisp, Solid Feedback: Compared to the Black version, the Original leather provides a sharper, more traditional feedback profile. It transfers feedback to your hands instantly, giving you a distinct sense of cue ball speed and acceleration.
High Ball Speed and Accuracy: This tip focuses on natural trajectory and momentum transmission. It provides excellent cue ball deflection control while maximizing forward energy, making it highly reliable for long, straight potting.
