Moori Tips
Moori laminated tip

Moori Tips is a Japanese manufacturer of billiards and pool cue tips. Originally fabricated by hand by founder Hideo Moori in his home outside Tokyo, they are now produced in a factory. The tips are exclusively made from boar leather, and consist of several thin layers bonded with an adhesive.

Moori was among the first to use a lamination technique to make a cue tip. Moori tips received their first major exposure during the WPA World 9-ball Championship in October 1994, and prompted many other companies to begin manufacturing layered tips, today including Talisman, Tiger, Japanese Molavia and Kamui.[1]

Currently, Moori makes tips in three degrees of hardness: slow (soft), medium, and fast (hard).
